YOUR PROJECT, STEP BY STEP

Here’s how the project would take shape. The in-home visit is where we review your space and work out the details together.

  1. Start with a visit
  2. Work out the scope
  3. Review the estimate and schedule

    Review the proposed work, pricing, material choices, and payment schedule with CHR. Talk through anything that still needs a decision and how changes would be handled. Once the scope is agreed, confirm the construction sequence and scheduling.

  4. Prepare the space and complete the work
  5. Walk through the finished work

    Review the completed work together, discuss any remaining items, and go over care and warranty questions before closing out the project.

Prepare the space and complete the work

Once the scope is agreed, organize the trades and construction sequence around the rooms involved. Discuss what remains accessible and how each stage affects life in the home.

Useful for our first conversation

Begin with the problems you want to solve and the rooms you use most. You don’t need a finished design.

What affects the timing?

Planning, selections, the condition of the home, trade sequencing, and any required approvals all affect the schedule. Discuss preparation and construction as separate parts of the overall timeline.

Home Addition

Start with a visit

Show us the property and explain why you need more space. We’ll discuss the existing home, possible locations or areas to convert, and information needed to assess the idea.

Rebuilding follows an agreed construction scope and confirmation that the areas are ready for that work. CHR’s role and the sequence are discussed before construction is arranged.

Useful for our first conversation

Start with the information you have, including photos, work completed so far, and contacts already involved.

What affects the timing?

Reconstruction timing depends on site readiness, scope decisions, materials, and coordination with other parties. CHR’s role in these projects is the rebuilding work; insurance-related responsibilities are clarified separately.

What affects the timing?

The rooms, surfaces, preparation, materials, and trades involved determine the sequence. The first conversation helps establish which details need to be reviewed before scheduling.

What if I change my mind about the scope?

You can explore a different option here at any time. During a project, discuss changes with Ivan so you can understand how they affect the work, pricing, and schedule.

Do I need to choose every finish before contacting CHR?

No. Start with the changes you want to make. Material and finish decisions can be discussed as the scope is developed.

Who coordinates the work?

Ivan Martinez leads CHR’s remodeling projects and coordinates the subcontractors involved, including licensed plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades when the scope requires them.
