Home Remodeling Process

Step 1 – Email or Call our office for a free consultation. Our Sales/Design Specialist will meet with you at your home to review your project. At that same time, we’ll complete an onsite evaluation, answer any questions you might have, and discuss some budgetary numbers.

Step 2 – Within a few days, a preliminary design is completed from which we’ll most likely exchange feedback and revisions via email to get the layout just right for you. Once that is done, a detailed cost analysis will be reviewed with you.

Step 3 – Should you elect to proceed, a preliminary agreement will be signed and a down payment of $2,000 will be collected. You’ll meet and work directly with our interior designer to help you professionally make all your selections. At that same time, we will finalize your design.

Step 4 – Once the plan, selections, and final proposal are complete, we’ll review everything one last time to make sure everything is the way that you want it. We’ll then sign an easy, straight-forward final agreement, collect an additional $2,000 and get to work!

Step 5 – In 8 to 10 weeks typically, your basement finishing project will be done and ready for you to enjoy! Kitchen remodels usually take 10-12 weeks.

Attention owners of homes built prior to 1978

lead-safe certified remodeler, Joseph Douglas, HomesAs of April 22, 2010, federal law requires that your home be renovated by a “Lead-Safe Certified Firm“.  Joseph Douglas Homes and Remodeling has this certification and is fully trained in lead-safe work practices.  This certification is not easy to achieve or inexpensive to obtain.  Any remodeler working on homes prior to 1978 without this certification is breaking the law!  It is estimated this requirement adds $500 to $1000 to the cost of the project so keep that in mind when comparing bids.
