Step-by-Step Process of a Remodel: What to Expect From Start to Finish

Remodels are an exciting opportunity to transform your space into something new and functional. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen, adding space to your home, or transforming your entire property, the remodeling process will bring your vision to life and turn your ideas into reality.

At DiFabion Remodeling, we work closely with our clients to guide them through each phase of the remodeling journey, creating a smooth experience from start to finish. We offer a wide range of residential remodeling services to suit your needs, including:

1. Initial Consultation: Setting Your Remodeling Goals

The remodeling process begins with an initial consultation, where we take the time to understand your goals, preferences, and vision for the space. This is a key step, as it helps us establish a foundation for the entire project.

The Right Fit

During the consultation, we focus on making sure we’re the right fit for your project. We work with you to define the scope of the remodel. We discuss budget, timeline, and design preferences so we can align expectations from the beginning.

Check & Measure

After the consultation, we schedule an on-site visit to check and measure the space. This allows us to take detailed measurements, take photos, and examine the existing conditions more closely. This step is essential for developing an accurate plan for your remodel.

2. Design & Planning: Turning Your Vision Into Reality

The next phase of your remodel involves turning your ideas into detailed plans. Our designers collaborate with you to develop custom solutions that reflect your vision and meet your needs, following our process to ensure every detail is carefully considered.

First Plan Review

We begin with rough sketches and initial design concepts, drawing inspiration from your style preferences. You’ll have the opportunity to see floor plan options and even 3D renderings of your space, helping you visualize the transformation.

Second Plan Review

In the second plan review, we refine the design based on your feedback. We’ll make any adjustments, select components like countertops and finishes, and review the budget to ensure everything aligns with your expectations.

Project Development to Production Handoff

Once the design is final, we move into the detailed planning phase. This includes structural engineering, elevations, and a thorough breakdown of the work.

At this stage, pricing is finalized, and you’ll sign the construction documents. We’ll also discuss any necessary permits or approvals required before moving forward.

3. Demolition & Preparation: Clearing the Way for New Beginnings

The space must be prepared before construction can begin. This phase includes demolition and any other prep work needed to lay the groundwork for your new design.

Pre-Construction Preparation

We hold an in-house pre-construction meeting to review all the details. During this meeting, we assign a lead carpenter for the project, set a detailed schedule, and confirm that all materials are ordered.

Project Start

If demolition is necessary, it will take place first. After that, we work to address any structural changes, electrical updates, or plumbing modifications.

Throughout the process, we emphasize safety and organization to avoid disruptions during construction.

4. Construction & Installation: Bringing the Remodel to Life

Once everything is prepped and ready, the construction phase begins. From framing to the installation of finishes, this is where your remodel really starts to take shape.

Key Benchmarks & Walkthroughs

During construction, we regularly check in with you to make sure the project stays on track. Walkthroughs are scheduled to ensure everything is proceeding as planned, both in terms of time and budget.

5. Final Inspection and Walkthrough: Ensuring Quality and Satisfaction

As the remodel nears completion, we perform a final inspection to ensure everything is in perfect condition. This is the last step to make sure your expectations have been met and the job is done right.

Project Wrap-Up

We conduct a thorough final inspection, checking every detail to guarantee quality. Then, we schedule a walkthrough with you, the homeowner, to make sure you’re completely satisfied with the work done.

Project Close-Out Meeting

Once the project is completed, we hold a close-out meeting to discuss any final details. We also go over post-remodel support and warranty options to ensure you continue to be happy with your remodel for years to come.
