Residential renovation can feel overwhelming, but understanding the process helps homeowners approach it with confidence. At H and M Remodeling, we guide our clients every step of the way. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the residential renovation process:

1. Initial Consultation Every project begins with a consultation. We meet with the homeowner to discuss goals, budget, timeline, and expectations. This is where we gather inspiration and evaluate the existing space.

2. Design and Planning Once we understand your needs, our design team begins planning. This includes creating sketches, choosing materials, and establishing a layout. We’ll also finalize a project proposal and budget estimate.

3. Permitting and Approvals Depending on the scope of work, permits may be required. We handle all the paperwork and ensure compliance with local building codes and HOA requirements.

4. Demolition Out with the old! Demolition involves removing old fixtures, walls, or finishes that no longer serve the space. We take great care to protect your home and dispose of debris responsibly.

5. Structural Work If walls are being removed or added, this step includes framing, support beams, and any necessary structural changes. Plumbing and electrical systems may also be re-routed or upgraded.

6. Mechanical Installation This includes HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins. Inspections are typically required at this phase to ensure everything is up to code.

7. Insulation and Drywall After mechanicals are in place, we install insulation, then drywall. Once the walls are up, they’re taped, mudded, and sanded smooth, ready for finishing.

8. Finishes and Fixtures This is where the space starts to come alive. Flooring, tile, cabinetry, countertops, and paint go in. Fixtures like sinks, lighting, and appliances are installed.

9. Final Touches We do a walk-through with the client to ensure everything is perfect. Any last-minute adjustments or touch-ups are completed during this stage.

10. Project Completion and Follow-Up We provide a full breakdown of work completed, warranties, and maintenance tips. At H and M Remodeling, we’re always available for post-project questions or concerns.

A residential renovation is a journey, and we strive to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. With H and M Remodeling, you’re not just upgrading a space; you’re investing in your home’s future.
