Getting started
How do I request a quote?
Call 615-431-3789, send the form on this page or use one of our planning tools. Tell us the address, what you want to build or change and when you would like to start, and photos or plans help. We follow up and set a time to walk the project.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the scope. A kitchen or bath remodel moves much faster than a custom home, and permits, selections and weather all play a part. After we walk the project we give you a real schedule, and our timeline planner shows typical examples.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We prepare and submit the paperwork, schedule the inspections and keep you informed at each stage.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your address, what you want to build or change and when you would like to start. Photos, plans or a survey help if you have them.
FAQ
Design and styles
Do you work from my architect’s plans?
Yes. We build from plans by your architect or designer, or we design and build for you through our design-build process.
How do I know which home style to choose?
Look at your lot, your neighborhood and how you live. Our Home Style Library shows each style up close, and we walk through the options with you.
Do you build in historic districts?
Yes. We talk through the guidelines for your district and plan the work to respect them. Approvals are up to the review board.
Do you help with design?
Yes. Our design-build process takes you from first ideas to finished plans, and we also build from your architect’s drawings.
FAQ
Building and remodeling
Can you handle just one part of a project?
Often yes. Many clients call us for a single service such as a foundation, framing, a kitchen, a deck or drainage, and we plan it so it fits the rest of the home.
Can I live in the house during a remodel?
Often yes for smaller projects. For larger ones we plan phases to keep a kitchen or bath usable where we can, and we protect the rest of your home.
What if you find a surprise behind the walls?
We show you, explain the repair and update the plan before we move on.
How do you keep the site tidy?
We protect your property, keep tools and materials organized and clean up at the end of every work day.
