Are you thinking about a remodeling project?
Would you like to do it yourself?
Maybe you would feel a more comfortable with a little experienced advice, hands on help or assurance your on the right track?
Or a lot of experienced help?
Many projects are never fully finished or become sidetracked, poorly constructed, or built with inferior materials because the remodel planning wasn’t complete. Whether you're working on the basement, master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or family room, you want your home remodeling to go as smoothly as possible. Hiring a consultant who has many years of experience to help with your remodel planning ensures that you can complete your home renovation and at the quality level you deserve.
Sometimes, having experienced help at just the right time makes it easier to get the job done right. Rather it’s the design phase, the budget phase or if it's just for those finishing touches that require an experienced hand.
As your consultant, I can give you a plan, so that you’re doing the right work in the right order, and not wasting time, resources, materials or money. This will give you the confidence and backing to undertake your remodeling project without reinventing the wheel. This, in turn, will save you time and money while minimizing the stress associated with the renovation, remodeling and improvement process.
A plan to fit your lifestyle
- Some owners may choose to become their own General Contractor, functioning as the project manager by scheduling home construction projects, hiring subcontractors, buying materials and supplies, and overseeing the entire project, maybe even doing phases of the work on their own.
- Some owners who have other different commitments may choose to be a part-time contractor by hiring a supervisor or other builder on an hourly or per diem basis. This way they can tap into an already proven network of subcontractors.
- While still others may opt to hire a General Contractor for the entire project or projects, whatever your choice:
I can customize a plan to fit your skill level and budget.

Design
Successful remodeling projects begin with good planning. Good design planning builds a solid foundation before the first load of lumber is delivered.
Homeowners often have trouble envisioning the completed project. I can show you 3D renderings that can make it easier to see what the completed project might look like before you begin
Design planning can be as basic as project feasibility studies with sketches to as extensive as finished drawings and 3D renderings.
Drawings and 3D views help provide reality checks, accuracy and peace of mind before construction begins. This help ensures that your project will be on time, on budget and achieve the best possible result for you.
Material Selection
Most homeowners have a general idea of the home improvement project they would like to take on. What they may lack is the specific details to achieve the final result
Say you want to remodel a bathroom or the kitchen, a basement renovation or a master bedroom suite Maybe you want to replace the exterior siding, install new windows or a new deck, whatever the project there is a vast array of materials to choose from. Bathtubs, windows, countertops and many other materials have an infinite amount of styles, colors, value, maintenance, sizes, and patterns to choose from.
These decisions can have a major impact on the final product. Putting all those combinations together can give you a case of information overload.
I can help put your final product manual together, help with my experience and research of materials and even go with you to the showrooms of our suppliers to help select:
- Cabinets
- Granite or other solid surface tops
- Hardware
- Plumbing Fixtures
- Flooring
- Paint
- Tile
- Windows & Doors
- And more
Prioritize your remodeling wish list
Do you have a long list of home improvement projects for your home?
Remodel the kitchen, energy efficient windows, paint the house…?
It can be confusing to know where to start. Most often you can’t tackle the whole list at once, so prioritizing your remodeling wish list is the way to go.
I can help you:
- Prioritize the order in which projects can be done.
- Plan a realistic timeline based on your finances and condition of your home.
- Help you decide which projects are feasible.
- Help alleviate the anxiety of a seemingly never ending to-do list.
Value Engineering
Maybe you already have the plans or proposal for your dream project? But the cost came in much higher than expected and now everything is on hold. Are there different products that will give me the same effect at a lower cost? Do I need an alarm system? What if I want to add on someday? Can I do it in phases?
This process is known as value engineering is intended to identify the relative cost versus value of different items and processes, so that owners can make an informed and educated choice regarding the quality and performance of their building.
Homeowners can become fully comfortable that their construction dollar is being invested correctly after they have participated in this process developed for them.
