To kick off the remodeling process, you'll have a call with our owner, Tim, at Steiner Remodel. This initial conversation is designed to get to know you and start the dialogue about your envisioned changes in the home and how we can help bring them to life. We'll explore the reasons prompting your decision to remodel, chat about timelines, discuss financial expectations, and discuss our construction process.
We will visit your home to engage in a more detailed conversation regarding your vision for the project. This meeting serves as the moment for you to demonstrate firsthand the aspects of your home's current design that are working and those that aren't. The insights gathered during this visit will be instrumental in initiating the design process and serve as a means to provide a preliminary cost range.
Join us for a proposal meeting in our conference room or via video call. We'll dive into the preliminary estimate; your questions are strongly encouraged at this stage! A reasonable fee will start the Project Planning Agreement (PPA) process if you like what you see. Keep in mind that the PPA does have fees separate from the construction contract, but they're essential for smooth sailing ahead. It covers costs for a detailed contract and often includes design services. If needed, it may tackle some small initial demolition to minimize surprises and pin down the project price. This structured process is our secret to minimizing surprises typical in remodeling. Should you decide to employ our services for the construction work, we will credit some fees towards the construction phase.
First, we conduct a thorough survey, measuring your home and property to create initial plans for the new space and layout. Then, we meet to discuss your likes and dislikes about the concept. With your input, we refine the design to bring your dreams to life, which is when finishes will be chosen. Finally, we create a construction contract detailing the fixed price and scope of work.
Now it's your turn to relax and gear up as we take the reins. We'll collaborate with the city building department and our reliable subcontractors to secure the necessary permits. Meanwhile, we'll meticulously craft a comprehensive plan and schedule, to construct and shape your new space. Once complete, you will have access to this schedule throughout the entire process.
Before the remodel, the build team will implement a site plan to safeguard your home. This usually involves isolating the work area and setting up protective barriers. Brace yourself for the demolition phase - it's loud and consists of clearing out old features. Next is the "rough-in" stage, which lays the foundation, framing, and essential utilities like electrical and plumbing. After this, you'll have a walk-through with the team and we will get building inspections. Then, the focus shifts to installing finishes, a meticulous process that takes time. Once everything is complete according to design plans, you'll have a final walk-through to conclude construction. At this point, you get to enjoy your new space! It was a rigorous journey, but we promise you'll love it!
