Homeowner Support

Our Renovation Coaching service ensures you’re never alone in your home improvement journey. With this service, you’ll retain ongoing access to expert advice throughout your activated construction projects. From reviewing bids and contracts, to comparing lending options, hiring professionals, selecting materials, discussing change orders, enacting contingencies, and marking milestones, we are here to provide practical guidance every step of the way. And, it’s not just the technical aspects – as your advocate, we are also here to provide emotional support, helping you navigate the stresses and celebrate the successes of your major renovation.

Contractor Support

We understand contractors managing logistics of field work may also wish to have a liaison to support communications with homeowners or have assistance in milestone tracking and progress reporting. We offer contractors custom quotes based on scope, timeline, and level of engagement.

For specific challenges or events, we provide day rates. Project rates are best suited for construction projected to exceed three months or with budgets of $250,000 – $2,000,000.

Planning

Are You Uncertain About How To Begin Your Renovation?

Through this customized consultation, we will assess your situation to create a project roadmap. Together we will articulate scope and scale, prioritize wants and needs, develop approximate timelines, and create a basic budget framework. We will capture design aspects to ensure you are informed and able to provide the professionals with clear project direction when obtaining estimates and meeting contractors.

Advocacy

Do You Crave Guidance And Support During Your Project?

Liaison services support busy, working, or older homeowners who do not have the capacity to engage with contractors on daily construction decisions. Mediation support support you in creating change orders, enacting contingencies, and overcoming miscommunications. Coaching is available throughout the project for those who just need to touchdown with someone who understands and can hold your hand as you navigate logistical, financial and emotional milestones of the project.

Selections

Did You Know Finish Materials Are Ultimately Your Responsibility?

Unless you hire a full-service firm to procure these items on your behalf, you will need to make selections for most finished products such as appliances, tile, fixtures and hardware. There are dependencies of what works together, and decision fatigue has a way of creeping up on you. We can negotiate with your contractor and identify supplies with specifications to fit your space, budget, aesthetic preferences, and project timeline.

Did You Know?

Single women are buying homes at twice the rate of men despite 37% less purchase power. Yet, many pass on great purchase opportunities because they are intimidated by the renovation process or do not know where to begin.
