Two minutes. The more of it you fill in, the more useful the first site visit is.
Required fields are marked. If we are not the right contractor for the job we will say so rather than going quiet.
We read it, and if it is a project we are the right contractor for we come back to arrange a site visit. If it is not — outside the area, outside what we take on, or better served by a specialist trade — we will tell you rather than going quiet.
On budget: ‘not sure yet’ is a real answer and it is on the list for that reason. Plenty of owners genuinely do not know what a full renovation costs, and finding out is part of why you are asking. What helps nobody is a number nobody believes — if the budget and the scope cannot meet, it is much better to know at the first visit than after drawings.
Four stages, and you always know which one you are in.
You show us the house and tell us what you want it to become. We look at the parts you cannot see — the sills, the piers, the wiring, whatever the last owner covered up — and give you an honest number before anyone
draws a line.
A scope you can actually read, with allowances labeled as allowances. We check whether you are in an HDLC or VCC district and figure out the permit path now, not in week three. The price comes with its assumptions written next to it.
One person you can call, who picks up. Trades sequenced so nobody is standing in your kitchen waiting on somebody else. Inspections booked ahead. Anything that changes gets priced before it happens.
We walk the house with you room by room, build the punch list together, and close out every line on it before you write the last check.
