Our work splits fairly evenly between residential and commercial. On the residential side, that's mid-to-upper-tier renovation: kitchens, bathrooms and ensuites, suites, basements, and full-home rebuilds. On the commercial side, we build out restaurants, cafés, breweries, and independent retail and office spaces. Commercial is a core part of what we do, not a sideline; it's simply handled more privately.
We focus on larger, higher-investment work, from substantial single-room renovations to full-home rebuilds and commercial build-outs. $10,000 is our minimum, and most projects run well beyond it. We don't take handyman-scale jobs like a fixture swap or a single appliance install. If you're not sure where your project lands, give us a call and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Three things. We're small on purpose, so the person who quotes your job is the same person you'll see on site. We run one project manager per project, start to finish, so you're never re-explaining yourself halfway through. And our trades and carpenters aren't subbed to the lowest bidder; most have worked with us for years, which is why the work holds up.
Every project runs through the same four stages. Consult: a free walkthrough at your home, where we listen first and take measurements. Plan: a written scope and estimate, design and selections, and permits and trades sequenced before we begin. Build: a fixed start date, a documented schedule, the same core crew, and decisions logged as we go. Finish: a full walkthrough together, a punch list, and a one-year workmanship warranty.
Every project is different, so timelines vary widely with scope. We set a realistic one with you at the contract stage rather than quoting a number up front.
One project manager, start to finish. They run the schedule, coordinate trades, sit in on your selections, and are the person you text when something comes up. You'll meet them at the consultation stage, before you've signed anything.
As often as your project calls for, and on whatever channel suits you, whether that's a text, a call, or a quick visit. Some weeks that means a daily note; other weeks, a check-in every few days is plenty. We typically send a fuller weekly summary with progress and photos, and we'll agree on a rhythm that fits how hands-on you want to be. If something changes, you hear about it the same day, not at the end of the week.
Both paths work. If you already have a designer or architect, we'll work directly with them so the drawings are buildable and budgeted before they're final. If you don't, we'll introduce you to local designers we've worked with for years, with no referral fee or markup. For simpler scopes like a single kitchen or bath, our team can handle layout, cabinetry drawings, and selections in-house.
Most of our clients stay in their home through the renovation. We set up dust walls before demo, protect finished areas, isolate HVAC from the work zone, and clean the site every evening. On full-gut projects, some weeks of demolition and rough-in are disruptive, and some homeowners relocate for that stretch; we're honest about which weeks those will be.
Older homes hide things: knob-and-tube wiring, undersized framing, a leak nobody knew about. When something during demolition affects scope, cost, or timeline, we stop, document it, and bring you a written change order before any further work, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
For delays outside our control, like backordered materials or permit lag, we tell you as soon as we know and what we're doing to recover the time.
Our crews are on site Monday through Friday, generally 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We don't work weekends or evenings unless a specific phase requires it, and only with your approval. If you have early meetings, kids on a nap schedule, or a home office, tell us at the consultation stage and we'll build the day around it.
Still have questions?
More specific questions about your home, your timeline, or what something might cost are best answered in person. A consultation is free, candid, and usually about thirty minutes. We'll listen first, then tell you honestly how we can help you build your project.
