Where do we even start?
A free guide to planning your whole-home renovation, in order.
Who to call first, when the numbers get real, and how it all comes together, whether you just bought the house or have lived in it for years.
Maybe you just bought a home that needs to be redone. Maybe you've lived in yours long enough to know exactly what isn't working. Either way, the hardest part is often knowing where to begin. Who do you call first? When will you know what it costs? How does it all come together?
This free guide is for homeowners planning a large renovation and furnishing project who want to understand the whole path before they start. It walks through a whole-home renovation in the order it really happens, from the first conversation to the day the last piece of art is hung. Every home is different. What keeps a project calm and organized doesn't change much.
Inside the guide, you'll find:
• Who comes first: when to start with an architect, when you may not need one, and why bringing the builder in early changes the budget conversation
• When the numbers get real: how a budget range becomes a real number, and the two places budgets surprise people most
• How a whole-home project unfolds: every step from the initial consultation to installation and styling, including the three stages you approve along the way
• Living through it: how to decide between phasing the work and doing it all at once, and what to plan for if you're moving out
• Where projects go sideways: the mistakes we see most, plus a checklist to work through before you call anyone
