Our Remodeling & Renovation Process

Successful remodeling contractors employ a systems approach to managing a project. With the myriad of details to track, the quality control needed, and the unexpected, a system keeps everything in its place—resulting in happy clients.

Our process begins with the initial call from a homeowner, during which we ask questions that allow us to evaluate the homeowners' scope of work, timetable and availability for an on-site meeting. A date and time is set when the homeowner(s) are available for approximately one to two hours to review the scope of the project.

We prepare an initial scope of the work, a ballpark budget, and a timeline.

If after that meeting you decide to work with us, a detailed estimate is prepared. The estimate is reviewed and adjustments made and formal contract is drafted complete with financial and legal responsibilities for both parties.

Once construction is underway, on-site supervisor keeps homeowners up-to-date on progress and any issues. If the plans change along the way—and as any homeowner knows who has gone through this process before, ideas occur to homeowners that they didn't consider early on—a change order is agreed upon in writing to eliminate any unexpected expenses.

After the construction phase is complete, a "walk-through" is conducted and the final payment is not made until you have a chance to review all work. If any little detail has gone unfinished, it will be completed before we declare the project finished. Cracovia Contracting warranty period takes effect.

Approximately six months after the finish of the project, Cracovia Contracting staff checks back with the homeowners to be sure they are still pleased with the work.
