Step 1: Initial Consultation

This 2-3 hour service is very informative and helps you determine if our team is a good fit for you. When you call our office, we discuss some preliminary information and schedule a visit to your home. After arriving, we start by listening so we can effectively:

• Take an informed tour of your space and get a general overview your daily routine in it
• Discuss and prioritize your ‘bare necessity’ and ‘wishlist’ items
• Compare your budget with your project goals to determine if they are aligned
• Clarify the industry options that are available to you
• Identify where to start and the approach that is best for you and your family
