Find the project that fits your goals
Every property and every family is different. Pick the one that sounds like you and see what it usually involves.
Major Remodel
Rework the home you already love the location of, from a single kitchen or bath to the whole house.
Best if…
- You like your lot and neighborhood, but not your layout
- Your kitchen or bathrooms feel dated
- You want a fresh home without moving
Keep in mind
- Moving walls or plumbing can change the scope
- Bigger jobs may mean planning around construction at home
- Materials and finishes are the biggest price lever
Home Addition
Add square footage without leaving. A new bedroom, a primary suite, a bonus room or a second story.
Best if…
- You need more room but love where you live
- Your lot has space to grow
- You want the new space to look like it was always there
Keep in mind
- Lot limits and setbacks decide what’s possible
- The new space has to tie into your existing home
- City permits are part of the process
ADU / Guest House
A second, separate home on your lot for family, guests, a home office or rental income.
Best if…
- You want space for family or guests close by
- You’re thinking about rental income
- You want a private office or studio at home
Keep in mind
- ADU rules differ from city to city
- Size, setbacks and utilities all matter
- It builds separately, so your main home stays livable
Custom Home
Start with your lot and your plan, and build a home designed around how you want to live.
Best if…
- You own a lot or are about to buy one
- You want control over the design
- Nothing on the market fits what you want
Keep in mind
- It’s the biggest scope, so planning matters most
- Design, permits and site work all come first
- Financing is worth talking through early

Pricing, explained
What shapes the price of your project
No two projects cost the same, so we don’t guess from a phone call. We look at your property in person first. Here’s what moves the number.
Size & scope
More square footage and more rooms involved means more labor and materials.
Finishes & materials
Cabinets, counters, flooring, windows and fixtures can swing a budget more than anything else.
Layout & structure
Moving walls, plumbing or rooflines takes more work than keeping things where they are.
Site conditions
Slope, access, utilities and what’s already on the lot all affect the build.
Permits & city rules
Requirements vary by city, and they shape both the design and the timeline.
Timeline
Your schedule and how the work is phased can change how a project is planned.
