As a design/build remodeling company, we are frequently asked about the value of using a design/build remodeling firm over other remodeling approaches. As we explain our design/build process and help homeowners choose the best delivery method for their home remodeling project, we also like to paint a realistic picture of what homeowners can expect, from start to finish.
