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

Walk-Through

We’ll book a time & then visit your space together to understand your needs, take measurements, and discuss layout options. We’ll give you some initial thoughts and design ideas for your home, and you can share with us your vision.

03

Mood Board + Plan

After 1-2 weeks, you’ll receive a custom mood board , sample finishes, and a cohesive vision based on your style and how you want to live in the space. You’ll also get sketches or floor plan options showing layout possibilities, flow, and function.

04

Renovation Quote

You’ll receive a clear written outline of the proposed work, expected timelines, and a renovation estimate. If you choose Hearthwood to complete your renovation, your full Design & Planning fee will be credited toward your build contract.

Not at all. Many of our clients move forward with us for the build phase, but you’re under no obligation. You can use our plans with any contractor—or take on parts of the work yourself.

Most packages take 1 to 2 weeks to complete, depending on the scope of your project and how quickly decisions are made. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way and make the process as stress-free as possible.

Yes! We’ll guide you through selecting finishes that align with your vision and budget whether it’s custom cabinetry, budget-friendly IKEA upgrades, or the perfect statement lighting. We can also help source the materials for you or provide detailed shopping lists if you prefer to shop yourself.

That’s exactly what we’re here for. During our initial design meeting, we’ll ask questions about how you live, what you’re drawn to, and what’s not working in your current space. From there, we’ll create a design direction that feels like you—even if you couldn’t quite describe it before. Most of our clients come to us unsure, and we love helping bring their vision to life.
