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 at 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 us 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.
Showroom Visit
Using the information collected during the in-home visit, we will create an initial 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.
3D Model and Quotation Review & Approval
Now that you’ve finalized your materials, colors and fixture choices, we’ll create a final 3D model of your space using these specific items and a custom quotation for you to review. Your 3D model will allow you to see exactly what your finished space will look like with the materials you have chosen. Our quote includes a detailed statement of work – we put in writing exactly what we are going to do and which materials, colors and model numbers you selected for your design. We believe that details are important and work very hard to ensure that everything is spelled out, clear and transparent at this stage.
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. We will always communicate who will be showing up the next day and what portion of the work they will be completing.
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 kitchen or bath!
