FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing is simple: 1. We have a per item price (deck, painting, exterior renovations like siding or roofing) and a Design Build price. 2. Our Design Build services require a design agreement be signed. The scope, budget and the approximate cost of the final project will discussed and agreed upon prior to entering into a Design Agreement. 3. Once the design is completed, reviewed and agreed upon and the scope of the work detailed to the client's satisfaction we move to design completion and selection stage. 4. We take the client shopping, set up a pre-construction meeting with all required sub-contractors and specialty suppliers and finalize all pricing and allowances (making sure to review everything as it comes in with the client). Client will also follow payment schedule requirements for such things as engineering, permitting, and ordering of specialty item costs - when applicable. 5. Final contract reviewed and signed. Cost and payment schedule agreed upon, and deposit check provided by client. We order and furnish down payments for all specialty items, secure sub-contractor schedules, order 1st phase materials and set schedules. Obtain permit and only proceed with construction when permit has been approved.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We attend NARI meeting, and are currently seeking NARI certification as a certified remodeler. We are also members of ASE (Alliance to save energy), NESEA (Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance) and GBS (Green Business Seal) associations to assist in our efforts with regards to our commercial clients and their energy reduction solutions.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I studied design in college and always liked the excitement of creating something from nothing. Clay into a horse, paint into a landscape, wood into a fort ( now 2-story additions ;), dirt into a lush landscape designed around a newly installed in-ground pool. I see through the mess for what is possible.
