What Exactly is Design/Build Remodeling?

…It’s Like Uber, But for Remodeling.

Remodeling your home is exciting – imagining how it will look and making big plans. You’ll be picking finishes, flooring and fixtures, and then watching your house be transformed. If you’ve never remodeled before, you might not know where to start. How does the process work?

“Do I need to figure out what the finished project will look like all by myself before it starts?” No!

“Do I have to call and coordinate the carpenters, plumbers, electricians and inspections?” Absolutely not!

We know your time is precious, but you still want a top-notch finished project, so we think you’ll like our approach to home remodeling called design/build. We offer the design/build remodeling process for homeowners who want the peace of mind, simplicity and ease of working with one trusted company from concept to completion.

Design/Build is a little bit like Uber, but for remodeling. Here’s why we think so…

1. We come to you

The first thing we do is meet up to get to know you, your preferences, and your lifestyle needs. It’s one-stop shopping. You don’t have to make separate visits to interior designers or county permit offices or big box appliance stores.

2. Tell us where you want to go

We know you’ve done some research and have good ideas regarding the look, feel and functionality you want in your renovation. You probably also have some clear expectations of how you’d like the construction portion of the project to go in order to fit into your schedule.

With our design/build process, you communicate all this info to us, and we help you come to a firm concept of your goal: what the final design will look like and what it will cost. We coordinate with everyone else involved as our construction brings the design to reality.

3. Don’t buy any extras, or learn how to do anything

One of the benefits of ride-share services is you don’t have to buy your own car or even know how to drive. With design/build remodeling, you don’t have to buy any tool or learn how to install anything! A recent survey found that when homeowners did a DIY remodel, 55% found it took longer than anticipated, 50% found it physically harder than expected, and 48% realized it was technically harder than they thought it would be. Why put yourself through that stress?

4. We take the most efficient way

We got this. We know what works and what doesn’t in the real world, based on our experience from past projects. We can also discuss what we’re seeing in new products and innovative uses of materials and finishes. Ask us about something you’ve seen on HGTV and we can tell you if we think it will really work for you.

We also keep cost in mind at every step. So, when we have finalized a beautiful design, building it within budget can be accomplished. It’s one-stop shopping, and we’ll be the single company that will be responsible to resolve any issues relating to the renovation.

5. You can check our reviews and rate us

We realize that it’s important to be able to read reviews and ratings of services, so that you can decide which is best for you. That’s why we have many places where you can find reviews from our past clients and photos of our past projects. Check out GuildQuality, a respected firm that surveys all of our clients for their thoughts once their project is done. And if we complete a project for you, you’ll be able to pay it forward by sharing your thoughts on the quality and value you’ve received from Metro Building & Remodeling on your home remodeling project.

We believe our design/build process is less stressful for most homeowners and for most types of home remodeling projects. And we think you’ll agree. Want to learn more about our design/build method? Send us an online request and let’s start a conversation!
