Final Walkthrough
When construction is complete, we conduct a detailed walkthrough with you to inspect every element of the finished project.
While every project is unique, here is a typical timeline for a mid-sized remodeling project. Your proposal will include a project-specific schedule with exact milestone dates.
Timelines vary based on project scope, permitting requirements, and material lead times. Large-scale renovations or ADU projects may extend beyond the typical range shown above.
How long does the remodeling process take?
Most mid-sized remodeling projects in the Boise area take 8 to 14 weeks from initial consultation to final walkthrough. Larger projects such as whole-home renovations or ADU construction may extend to 16 to 24 weeks depending on scope, permitting timelines, and material lead times. Your detailed proposal includes a project-specific timeline with milestone dates.
What happens during the initial consultation?
During the free, no-obligation consultation, we visit your home to discuss your goals, assess the existing space, review your budget range, and answer all of your questions. This 60- to 90-minute visit gives us the information we need to determine if we are the right fit for your project and allows you to evaluate our team firsthand.
Do I need to move out during construction?
For most projects, you can remain in your home. We install professional dust barriers, maintain daily cleanup, and isolate work zones from your living spaces. For large-scale whole-home renovations or projects that affect kitchens and bathrooms simultaneously, we may recommend temporary relocation for a portion of the construction phase for your comfort and safety.
How do you handle unexpected issues during construction?
Unexpected conditions — such as hidden water damage, outdated wiring, or structural concerns — are documented immediately and communicated to you the same day. We provide a written change order detailing the issue, the recommended fix, and the cost and timeline impact before any additional work proceeds. There are no surprises or verbal agreements.
What is included in the detailed proposal?
Your proposal is a comprehensive, line-item document covering labor, materials, permits, project timeline, payment schedule, and warranty terms. Every cost is itemized — no vague allowances or hidden fees. We walk through the entire document with you before any work begins so every detail is understood and agreed upon.
