[ HOW IT WORKS ]

OUR REFINED6-STEP PROCESS

01

Let's Talk About Your Space

We'll start with a quick phone call to learn more about what you're looking for. No pressure, no obligation — just a chance to hear about your ideas, answer any questions, and see how we can help bring it all to life.

02

On-Site Visit

We walk the property with you, take measurements, and ask questions. This is where we begin shaping your vision into a workable plan that fits your space and budget.

03

Design Phase

Here's where things come to life. We draft your custom design, make revisions based on your feedback, and get everything aligned — visually, structurally, and financially.

04

Project Prep

Once the design is approved, we'll lock in your start date, finalize materials, and coordinate your specialized crew. You'll know exactly what to expect before we break ground.

05

Build & Install

Your project is now in motion. Our crew shows up on time, works with care, and stays on task. We handle everything, keep you in the loop, and ensure the site stays clean and professional.

06

Final Walkthrough

When the work is complete, we walk the space with you to make sure every detail is right. Only when you're fully satisfied do we call it done.
