Discovery call

Phone consultation. Confirm scope is a fit, ballpark budget, schedule the in-home visit.

Short call so neither of us wastes a Saturday. You describe the bathroom; we ask about home, neighborhood, timeline. If scope is outside what we do (under $9,500, whole-home gut), we'll say so and recommend someone better.

What this step is NOT

  • Pressure to schedule on the spot
  • Generic phone-bank dispatch — you'll talk to someone who's been in the trade, not a sales scheduler

In-home consultation

We measure, photograph, and walk through finish ideas. No high-pressure sales.

We bring tape, camera, finish samples. Measure, photograph, check behind walls where possible. Layout options, must-haves vs nice-to-haves, finish direction. Ask anything — we leave so you can think.

What this step is NOT

  • A signed contract on the spot
  • "Today-only" pricing or expiring discounts
  • A canned pitch — every consultation is the actual bathroom in front of us
03Within 5 business days

Fixed-price proposal

Line-item proposal with material allowances. The price you sign is the price you pay.

Written proposal, every line itemized: demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, paint, fixtures, allowances. Premium-finish upgrades listed separately. Sign and the price locks — no surprise change orders.

What this step is NOT

  • Hidden allowances designed to bait-and-switch
  • Open-ended hourly billing
  • Vague "and labor" lines that grow during construction
041–3 weeks

Design + selections

We help you pick tile, fixtures, vanity, paint. We coordinate orders and delivery.

Tile, vanity, mirrors, faucets, lighting, paint. Pick from our suppliers (Floor & Decor, Daltile, Kohler, Delta, Moen) or shop independently with our allowance numbers. We order, track, stage so construction starts on schedule.

What this step is NOT

  • Markup hidden in finish selections — our allowances are at supplier list price
  • Pressure to use our preferred suppliers
052–4 weeks for most baths

Construction

Daily site updates. One project manager. Clean job site every evening.

Same crew from demo to finish — drywall, tile, paint, trim all in-house. Daily site updates by text with progress photos. One project manager, one point of contact. Vacuumed and walked every evening.

What this step is NOT

  • Sub-contractors you've never met working in your home
  • Dust and debris left for you to handle
  • Surprise change orders for unforeseen conditions — see step 3
06Day of completion · punch list within 7 days

Walkthrough + warranty

Final inspection together. Lifetime workmanship warranty in writing.

Walk through together. You build the punch list; we resolve every item within 7 business days. You sign off when you're satisfied. Lifetime workmanship warranty in writing — caulk, grout, fixtures all covered. Manufacturer warranties separate and assigned to you.

What this step is NOT

  • Warranty conditional on "regular maintenance" loopholes
  • A 1-year warranty that quietly expires

Step 1 starts with a 15-minute phone call.

The whole commitment. If it's not a fit, we tell you on the call.
