Expectation management
Nothing’s worse than investing time and money into a design for your Portland home remodel and receiving a construction proposal that costs two to three times more than you were expecting. This is why Creekstone Design + Remodel first helps you establish a budget and expectations and then designs and delivers your dream house according to these plans.
Our cohesive design-build process sets us apart from other Portland home designers and makes us one of the best home remodelers in Portland because we include our veteran construction team in the design process. Their valuable practical insight ensures that we can seamlessly execute this plan as budgeted and designed. This extra step consistently delivers more effective solutions and quality installations.
When you work with an architectural design-build firm, you’re working with one point of contact and gaining an entire team of friendly and experienced home designers and seasoned trades who all work together to design and build your Portland area home remodeling project to perfection.
Our Process
Wondering about the stages of a home remodel? It all starts here. We want to create a mutually enjoyable and collaborative experience at every encounter. That’s why we stay in constant conversation so you know what to expect, providing you guidance and education, along with timelines and highly detailed plans, 3D models and extensive design boards.
This is a collaborative process, and we see it as our responsibility to be your trusted advisor from start to finish. We're here to help you make the best decision for you through the lens of our expertise, and we want you to experience the difference such an approach can make at every step in the home remodeling process.
CONSULT
It begins with an initial phone consultation with our Portland home design-build firm to hear about your project and see if we would be a good fit for each other. We will provide 3rd-party market information on the current cost vs value of remodeling projects in Portland and help you establish ballpark budget ranges. With a budget goal in mind, we meet with you on site to learn more about your project and do an initial assessment.
DESIGN
After the onsite consult, our friendly home designers provide a design and pre-construction proposal to develop all the project details and a fixed price proposal to meet your budget. This design fee is credited back to your project when we build it. Throughout the design process, you will have a dedicated design specialist guiding you through the process, providing ideas and options to fit your vision and budget.
PROPOSAL
After we finalize all design elements, we bring our construction teams on-site to walk through the project, troubleshoot items, and develop final plans and a fixed-price proposal to build the project we have carefully planned together.
CONSTRUCTION
We care about your home and take great care during the construction phase by protecting floors and walls, installing dust walls, and doing daily sweep-ups.
You have a dedicated project manager who is your go-to person for all the questions that arise for your remodeling contracting team along the way. They meet trades on-site and oversee their work to ensure it meets the plans and construction standards. They also make sure the project stays clean, on time, and meets your quality expectations. Since we take communication seriously, you receive daily status reports and have 24/7 access to your project online with schedules, plans, contracts, updates, etc. You can track and access any aspect of the project from anywhere.
Working with the best home remodeler in Portland pays dividends beyond your newly remodeled space, as our exceptional warranty offers unparalleled peace of mind.
