Residential Remodeling

• Contact us to schedule your appointment.
• Download and complete our project questionnaire prior to our arrival.
• It is recommended to read all resources and literature associated with this website.

• This is where we meet for the first time. It is recommended you prepare a list of questions to ask. See "How To Select A Contractor"
• In this meeting we will ask you a variety of questions regarding your project. You will explain what you want. We will listen, offer suggestions/ideas and take notes.

A detailed, written proposal is prepared for you. Included in your proposal:

• Detailed written specifications outlining exactly what is and is not included
• 3-D virtual renderings and CAD floor plans
• A complete list of references – This includes past clients, current clients on projects under construction, financial references and background, material supplier & trade references, and building department contact information.
• A preliminary construction schedule (See example)
• Product brochures and literature
• A draft copy of our Construction Agreement

• Perspective clients have the option to meet at our office (see location map) or at their home to go over and discuss the proposal for construction.
• During this meeting we will go through the written proposal and discuss all assumptions, processes, alternates and so on.
• At the conclusion of this meeting, you will not be pressured to 'sign' or move forward. We believe strongly that remodeling is a large purchase that requires much thought and consideration.

By the time we're finished with the design, you will have a quality garage plan that is guaranteed to fit your budget.

• Final details are ironed out and all remaining questions answered.
• Construction agreements are signed.
• J2 Solutions begins immediately on all pre-permitting activities. This includes finalizing the design, coordinating with the architects and engineers, ordering survey's, etc.

Once the permit has been received, we set up a pre-construction meeting before the work actually begins. At this meeting, we discuss a variety of important subjects (partial list below):

• Your rules and requests for your property and home
• Weekly schedules, sequencing and overall completion deadlines
• Expectations with regards to noise, dust, mud, etc
• Property and site logistics (where can we place the dumpster, job sign, port-a-potty, etc)
• Pet concerns and considerations
• Communication standards – Who, how often, what method and how much detail?
• Emergency and safety procedures
• Expectations with regards to finish quality and end results (the only thing that is important here is what you think is good- not us)

As the project enters into the final stages of construction we begin the completion and wrap-up process. This includes:

• Completing all punch-list required items per your request
• Providing all warranty and product information literature for your records
• Doing an on-site walk through to discuss the end result and answer any remaining questions

• Provide all lien releases, affidavits and payment guarantees to prove all bills have been paid by the contractor
• Conduct a post-construction meeting. We want to hear you thoughts on the whole process and what, if anything, you would do differently. Moreover, we want to hear your thoughts on our services what we could do better
• Submit the final invoice for payment
