Our Full-Service Project Planning package is designed for busy homeowners who want a hands-off approach to planning and bidding their home improvement project.

If you don't have the time, desire, or experience to contact contractors, coordinate site visits, chase down quotes, compare proposals, and negotiate pricing, we handle the process for you.

We act as your project advisor throughout the planning and bidding phase. We help define the project scope, identify qualified contractors, obtain and organize proposals, compare pricing and scope, negotiate terms where appropriate, and help position your project so contractors can deliver the best product at the best value.
