OUR DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS

01 | Discovery
We begin with an in-home consultation to learn about your remodeling goals and decide if True Craft Remodelers is a good fit for your project. We’ll take measurements and photograph your home while we collaborate with you on how to solve your home’s challenges in the design style you’d like
02 | Design

Next, we will use a modeling program to create your remodel design. Your proposed project investment and timeline will be known at this time, as well as making sure you’re aware of the process so there are no surprises. You’ll choose the materials, colors, and finishes for your remodel, followed by agreeing on a payment schedule. 

 
03 | Construction

Finally, your remodel will begin the construction phase! You’ll be involved through on-site meetings and be kept in the loop about progress to ensure your remodel is going according to plan. We understand that a remodel can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Once your project is complete, we’ll do a final walk-through to ensure you’re satisfied with our work. True Craft is unique in that we offer a three-year warranty and will fix anything necessary, no questions asked.
