Our Process
We’re Here to Help
The remodeling process can be daunting for those who have never done it and even for seasoned do-it-yourselfers. Kitchens and baths require many complex systems to be designed and installed correctly so they function properly, safely and meet all current building codes. Additionally, there is a nearly infinite number of finishes, colors and textures to combine together in a way that has that WOW factor. Binder is a full service remodeler that is with you from start to finish to make this daunting process simple, easy and FUN!
In-Home Consultation
We’ll visit your home a time convenient for you to discuss your goals for the project and your “wish list” for the result. Many times our senior plumbing technicians or carpenters will join for this visit to fully evaluate your current mechanical and structural systems. We’ll take detailed measurements and pictures of your space to enable us to create your 2 Dimensional drawings and 3 Dimensional models. We’ll answer initial questions you have about the project and address concerns. We normally are able to give ballpark guidance on pricing at this stage.

Showroom Visit
Showroom Visit
When you decide to move forward with the project, the next step is a showroom visit to finalize selections of your materials and colors. In preparation for this meeting, we will create a full series of 2D drawings and 3D models of your future kitchen or bath. These will help you see how the colors and textures you’d like to see in the space work together and how layout changes you’ve made will look in real life. We have hundreds of samples of cabinets, tile, granite, quartz, faucets and many other materials in our showroom to review. With the guidance of our experienced designers, we’ll help you through the process of selecting combinations that look amazing together.
Demolition & Construction
We’ll be in close communication before and during the demolition and construction phases of the project. We’ll agree on a start date that works with your schedule and send you a project schedule ahead of time. You can relax knowing that we’re working diligently to schedule materials deliveries and the various tradespeople necessary to keep your project moving without delay. Our extensive experience in remodeling has taught us the best order to schedule the trades in to ensure the highest quality of work and no down time in the middle of your project. Your project schedule is always available in our client portal and we update it daily to keep you informed of progress and changes. Our dedicated project manager will be your point of contact for questions and requests.
Final Walkthrough & Punchlist
Final Walkthrough & Punchlist
Once construction is complete we give you 1-2 weeks to use the space and “test drive” all the new fixtures, cabinetry etc. We’ll schedule a walkthrough with you after that period to ensure that everything has fully met your expectations. While we do our best to ensure everything is perfect before construction ends, it is normal for the homeowner to discover some minor touch ups or functional adjustments that are needed. We will create a punchlist of these items and resolve them quickly. Your final payment is not due until you are fully satisfied with the result. Enjoy your new space!
