01

Reach Out & Share Your Vision

Start by filling out our Contact Form. We’ll follow up by email to request photos of your current space and any inspiration images you love. Then, we’ll schedule a phone consultation with Cole (our owner) to discuss your goals and determine if we're a good fit for your project.

02

Walkthrough of Your Space

If everything aligns, Cole will meet with you in person to walk through your space. During this visit, we’ll talk through your goals, take detailed measurements, and begin shaping a clear vision of the project.
For larger or more complex projects, we may skip the initial phone call and start here.

03

In-Office Estimate Review

Next, you’ll meet with Cole at our office to go over your estimate in detail. We’ll walk through the scope, answer your questions, and start exploring selections and material options so you can get a feel for how your project will take shape.

04

Design & Selections

From there, you’ll work closely with our Design Manager, Lisa. She'll guide you through visiting showrooms, exploring materials, and finalizing your selections. We’ll be by your side every step of the way to ensure your choices feel confident, informed, and aligned with your vision.

05

Construction & Completion

With plans and selections finalized, our team gets to work. We manage every detail and keep you updated with regular progress reports, addressing any changes along the way.
After a final walkthrough and quality check, your space is ready—built with care, craftsmanship, and your goals at the center.

Our Simple Process

"It was a pleasure to work with Cole and his team they were all awesome people and experts in their crafts. It made our home renovation fun and it turned out stunning. They were very punctual and kept a tight schedule to keep the project on track. Highly recommend!"
