Your Next Project Starts with Transparency

At Home Specialists, we focus on education, transparency, and collaboration. Never pressure.

We approach every remodel with one thing in mind – your vision. Our team of remodeling professionals take the time to understand what you want most from your home and provides decades of design-build expertise to guide you through every decision.

The result is a remodeling experience that’s as thoughtful and personal as the finished space.

UNDERSTANDING THE NUMBERS

Every renovation begins with intention. Before numbers or schedules, we focus on your home, your lifestyle, and the vision for what it can become. Then come the natural questions: “What will it cost? And how long will it take?”

While every home and project is approached individually, this guide lays out a clear foundation for investment ranges and scheduling. Final costs and timelines  depend on your unique choices—from layout and finishes to structural updates—so no two projects are alike.

Inside, you’ll find an overview of project types with typical pricing and duration, providing a framework to plan your project and imagine the possibilities for your home.

FIXED PRICING

Once your project is fully designed and selections are finalized, we present a fixed investment for your project. Your price is secured and will only change if you  choose to modify materials or scope — no unexpected overages, no moving targets. This approach  protects your budget, eliminates surprises, and gives you the confidence to move forward with total clarity.

TIME FRAME

Time frames in this guide are shown in weeks and reflect the construction phase.

Design, including initial concepts, selections, engineering, prints, detailed scope of work, and full proposal need to be done prior to entering the build phase. Each project moves through these early steps at its own pace. Smaller projects typically require 6–10 weeks, mid-sized projects 10–24 weeks, and larger or more complex projects 20–50 weeks.

PAYMENT TIMELINE

Once your proposal is approved, a 20% down payment reserves your place in our schedule. During construction, progress payments totaling 70% of project budget are made through the project, with the remaining 10% due upon completion.

5 YEAR WARRANTY

Our work is designed, built, and finished to stand the test of time, and every project is backed by a comprehensive five-year workmanship warranty. backed by a comprehensive five-year workmanship warranty, far exceeding the industry standard of one year. We stand by our craftsmanship and are available for service, adjustments, and any needs as your home evolves.
