How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

Most contractors ask you to sign before you can see anything. We flip it: you see the finished project, and the full price, before construction starts.

A quick 15-minute intro call

Tell us what you're planning and we call you back. Fifteen minutes to hear your plan, answer your questions, and see how we can help. No prep, no pressure, and nothing to sign.

About

Family owned. Father and son.

Ori designs your project in 3D before a single wall moves. Frank leads and oversees the construction. The principals of the company stay actively involved in your job from the first rendering to the final walkthrough. We treat every project like it is our own: when the owners are the ones on your site, decisions get made on the spot and nothing waits on a message relayed through a project manager. At most companies you will never meet the owner, let alone see them on your job.

FAQ

Answers homeowners ask first.

Straight answers to what comes up before the first call.

Are the renderings really of my house?

Yes. We build them from photos and measurements of your actual home. Your rooms, your ceiling heights, your windows, your view out the back. The finishes you see are the ones we picked together. What you approve is what we build.

What does the design consultation cost?

Nothing, and there is no obligation at the end of it. It starts with a 15-minute intro call, then a free in-home 3D design consultation with our designer, and you leave knowing your scope, your size, and a realistic price range whether or not you ever hire us.

How do I choose materials and fixtures?

We hand you a catalog and live links: tile, cabinetry, counters, hardware, lighting, plumbing. Custom made-to-order pieces and special requests are welcome, and we source them for you. Whatever you pick shows up in your renderings first, then in your house.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. When your project needs permits, we run the permit path, sequence the trades in the right order, meet the inspectors on site, and close the permit out properly. You never sit at a city counter.

Do you offer financing?

Yes! We offer financing through a third-party financing partner, with options for most budgets. Ask about it at your consultation and we will walk you through it.

How will I know what's happening during construction?

You get progress updates the whole way: photos from the site, the milestone we just cleared, and what happens next week. From demo day through the final walkthrough, you are never left guessing.
