What to Expect & Next Steps...
Homeowners obviously like to know what the next steps are going to be, and we get asked the same questions each time, so we created this page to be concise and easy to digest.
Please watch the video below because it will probably answer most of the questions homeowners have at this point regarding next steps and it will explain things that homeowners may not know to consider:
If you want to make an adjustment to the amount of projects you want to do with us on the agreement, you can ask your consultant to send you an updated version. They can quickly make the adjustments.

We DO NOT Underbid Like Some Phoenix Contractors
At our company, we take a distinctive approach to home improvement and renovation that separates us from many other contractors in Phoenix and across the nation. We utilize an in-house estimator who get involved before you receive your proposal. This proactive step is rare and often viewed with skepticism in online contractor communities, where some consider it a waste of time and money.
We believe in this thorough process to ensure the remodeling costs we provide are accurate. This method safeguards you from the bait-and-switch tactics that unfortunately plague the industry. By thoroughly assessing the remodeling costs upfront, we avoid any unexpected surprises and ensure you are fully informed about your investment.
Even if you have the backing of a lawyer, failing to cover additional costs often puts you at risk of breach of contract. Contractors can abandon your project or place a lien on your home if disputes arise over unforeseen costs.
Our design-build model starts with a payment for the feasibility, planning, and design package. This phase allows you to see a detailed plan and all associated remodeling costs before we provide the final construction price. This ensures that you can adjust your plans to fit your budget and wish list before moving into the construction phase.
This approach lets you decide if you want to proceed with us for the construction phase, offering you more control and peace of mind. It ensures that we are a good fit for one another before committing to the full project.
Choose us for your next project and experience a level of service that values accuracy and client satisfaction.

The Design Phase
Once The Design Phase Is Completed
If you have not already, we strongly recommend visiting this article that discusses the difference in detail between a design-build firm and a general contractor:
https://phxhomeremodeling.com/design-build-vs-general-contractor/Our proposal is at the current price at the time of creation
Unfortunately, construction costs continue to increase faster than inflation and forecasts say prices will continue rising.
We have to continuously update our catalog of prices from vendors, trade partners, labor, materials, overhead, and other expenses.
We are not going to bump up the price extra to try and predict where things will be at some point in the future.
We are the only residential remodeling company in the entire nation (from a huge nation-wide Facebook group of remodeling companies we are part of), that utilizes an in-house estimator before we send that initial proposal. So the initial proposal is as close as it can be.
So the longer you take in the design phase, the higher your price could be.
This is out of our control and we are simply going off of our pricing catalog in our pricing software.
Expectations are crucial, so that is why this information is provided.
