What "turnkey" actually means
You hand us the keys, we hand them back — with the whole house done. No juggling five subs, no waiting on one crew to finish before the next one starts. We plan the sequence, order materials, and run every phase from demo through final walk-through.
- Full interior remodel (kitchen + baths + living areas)
- Whole-home paint, drywall repair, trim replacement
- Flooring throughout (LVP, hardwood, tile)
- All doors and windows, interior and exterior
- Cabinet installations, closet systems, built-ins
- Garage conversions and bonus room finishes when in scope
- Coordination with licensed electrical, plumbing and HVAC contractors
- Permits and inspections handled by the licensed contractor whose scope they fall under, coordinated to our schedule
- Daily cleanup, phase walkthroughs, final punch list
What we run, and what belongs to a licensed contractor
We carry out and coordinate the finishing trades — demolition, drywall, tile, flooring, paint, cabinets, doors, trim — and we own the schedule so one crew finishing late does not quietly push the whole project out.
Work that is regulated goes to the contractor licensed for it: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, anything structural, and exterior openings in a wind-borne debris region. Their scope sits as its own line on your estimate, with their permits and inspections under their licence, scheduled around ours. Where a project as a whole requires a licensed general contractor, we will say so at the walk-through rather than halfway through demolition.
That is the honest shape of a turnkey job here: one person you call, one schedule, and every regulated piece done by someone entitled to do it.

FAQ
How long does a full home renovation take?
Cosmetic refresh: 3–5 weeks. Mid-level turnkey with new kitchen and baths: 8–14 weeks. Full remodel with layout changes and permits: 4–7 months. Longer projects are broken into phases so you're not without a kitchen or bathroom for the whole run.
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
For most projects, yes — we phase the work so at least one bathroom and a working kitchen (temporary or existing) stay usable. For full gut renovations, we usually recommend relocating for 2–4 weeks of peak disruption.
Do you handle design, or do we need an architect?
For cosmetic and mid-level projects, we work directly from your ideas and material selections. For layout changes, structural walls, or additions, we bring in a licensed architect or structural engineer. Cost is included in the estimate.
Do you offer phased pricing so we can split the project?
Yes. Some clients do kitchen and baths this year, floors and paint next year. We can quote the full plan and lock pricing on phase 1 with a right-of-first-refusal on phase 2.
What about permits and inspections?
Included. We pull permits with your town, coordinate with the building inspector, electrical inspector, and plumbing inspector as needed, and handle sign-offs before final payment.
Do you require milestone payments?
Yes — for projects over $5,000. Our standard policy caps deposits at one-third of the contract price. After that, we work off milestones (demo complete, framing complete, mechanical rough-in, final finish, walk-through) so you never pay ahead of work.
