Remodeling experience
Remodeling is what Josh has done for 10-plus years.

We build it and walk it with you
The work follows the plan, any changes get put in writing, and we walk the finished job with you before we call it done.
How we work
What you can count on, start to finish.
Everything in writing
The proposal spells out what's included, what we're assuming, and who handles what.
We see it first
We look at the room or house before we price or schedule the job.
Permits and trades spelled out
If your project needs a permit, an engineer, or a licensed plumber or electrician, we tell you during planning and put it in writing.
Changes in writing
If the job changes, we talk through what it does to the price and schedule before doing the extra work.
Final walkthrough
