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:
2 Separate options for completing the design agreement:
Option #1: Sign Electronically

- Then you can fill out and e-sign
Option #2: Download, Print, Take a picture, and email it back to us
- Click the button below to open agreement
- Download the agreement to your computer
- Fill out and sign
- Take a picture of the agreement and email it back to us (You can just reply to the same email we sent the proposal from)
Payment Options:
Option #1: We can collect a check at the next meeting. Please make the check out to "Phx Home Remodeling”
Option #2: Pay online with a credit card (there is a 3% charge from the merchant account for Visa, MasterCard, or Discover and 4% for American Express): Purchase the Feasibility, Planning, & Design Package
Steps to move forward:
#1) Use 1 of the 2 options above depending if you prefer e-sign or printing and then emailing back.
#2) On the Design agreement, fill out your contact info along with the total price range, and the initial design fee shown on the proposal we sent.
(If there is more than one project, please add up the total of all the projects you want to do with the design build and write that price range on the design agreement. If the math is incorrect on the agreement, we base it on the amount shown on proposal.)
#3) Sign & date at the bottom of the agreement. (All down if you chose the E-sign option)
#4) If you chose option# 2 of the paper form, take a picture of the agreement and email it back to us. (You can just reply to the same email we sent the proposal from)
We DO NOT Underbid Like Some Phoenix Contractors
We feel obligated to do this so we know the price we are providing is right.
This way you know that the price is legitimate and is not a bait & switch situation which is unfortunately common in this industry.
You could be an attorney and yell at or threaten the contractor all you want, but if you don’t pay them the extra amount you are often in breach of contract and they can walk off your job or put a lien on your house.
We do the design-build business model where you pay us for the feasibility, planning, & design package first. Once everything has been planned out and all design items have been chosen, we can provide the actual price so you don’t have a bad surprise later on.
This process is great because you can make adjustments so you can balance your wallet with your wishlist before you get to the construction phase.
You then choose if you want to work with us for the construction phase so it gives the homeowner much more control. This process also makes sure we are a good fit for one another before doing the construction phase.
