The Home Renovation Process
Sensible creativity, clear communication, reliable timelines, and respect for budget are integral components of what we look to accomplish. We value process and structure when composing a design with our clients. Since 1984, our project development method helps homeowners reduce the fear and stressful details commonly associated to more complex projects. We continually provide construction / product education, offering practical solutions for any aspect of a project.
Our company process allows our clients a streamlined, affordable method to collaborate their own ideas with the respectful advice of our professional and experienced design staff.
Successful renovations start with a design consultation
After an initial phone interview, we schedule a complimentary one-hour site evaluation with a HomeTech Renovations certified designer. The on site evaluation will provide experienced advice based on your needs, associated to potential project retro fit issues. We will review some practical approaches, discuss general budget ranges, and may recommend our design process which will allow the benefits listed below.
