How We Work
Our Home Remodeling Process
A clear plan before construction makes a remodel easier to manage. Here is how CHC Remodel takes a project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Six Steps
From First Call to Final Walkthrough
Consultation
We talk about your home, what is not working and what you want to change. This is also the time to share priorities, a working budget range and timing.
Existing-Home Review
We look at the space and the conditions that affect the project, such as walls, plumbing and electrical locations, structure and signs of past changes.
Design, Scope + Estimate
Ideas become a defined, buildable plan: layout, cabinetry, materials and any structural changes. Pricing is based on that scope, so you know what is included.
Pre-Construction
We coordinate selections, permits, scheduling and long-lead items such as cabinets, windows and fixtures, so work can move without avoidable delays.
Construction
The trades are sequenced in the right order, from demolition and rough-in to installation and finishes. You have a clear point of contact throughout.
Final Walkthrough
We review the finished work with you, complete any punch-list items and go over final details before closeout.
Hidden Conditions
If Something Changes During Construction
Opening walls can reveal conditions no one could see before, such as water damage or unexpected framing. When that happens, we explain what we found and the options. Changes to the scope are confirmed in writing, with any cost or schedule impact, before the work proceeds.
Our Team
Why We Plan Before Demolition
Our CEO, Siamak Firooz, is a structural engineer, and architect and interior designer Marjan Sabounchi brings nearly two decades of design experience. With construction, engineering and design on one team, layout, structural and cabinetry decisions are made together, before construction starts.
Common Questions
Remodeling Process FAQs
How do I start a project with CHC Remodel?
Contact us to schedule a consultation. It helps to share what you want to change, any photos or plans you have, and your general timing.
When will I get an estimate?
After the scope is defined. Pricing depends on the layout, materials, structural work and existing conditions, so it is prepared once enough of the project is understood.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We review which permits apply to your project during planning and coordinate them before construction is scheduled.
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
It depends on how much of the home is affected. Smaller projects often allow you to stay. Major demolition or work on several rooms may make a short move more practical.
