How it all works

The Process

01

Starter Consultation

This is a complimentary 30-minute meeting via phone, video, or on-site (depending on project type and location). We’ll walk through your space (virtually or in person), discuss your goals and budget, and answer your initial questions.

02

Design & Planning Package

This step gives you the clarity, direction, and confidence to move forward with your basement renovation. It includes an in-home walkthrough, design mood board,
Initial layout sketch, and more.

03

Basement Build Contract

Once your design is finalized and your quote is approved, we’ll present a full renovation contract with a confirmed scope, budget, timeline, and payment schedule. You’ll pay a deposit to secure your build date.

04

Construction Phase

We manage all trades and timelines while keeping you updated through weekly check-ins and milestone reviews. Christina may drop in for styling decisions, and Sean oversees the build day to day to ensure quality and craftsmanship.
