Our Design & Remodel Process

 

At Armitage Interiors, our mission is to transform homes by providing exceptional remodeling experiences rooted in attentiveness and consideration. We believe that thoughtful planning, open communication, and a deep respect for our clients’ needs result in spaces that are not only beautiful but truly functional and meaningful.

By focusing on every detail and taking the time to understand each client’s unique vision, we create homes that enhance their daily lives and reflect their personalities.

 
 

Step 1: Getting to Know You

 
 

Our first meeting is all about understanding your vision, style, and budget while making the process as transparent and stress-free as possible. During this walkthrough, we’ll:

  • Discuss your design preferences and finishes that inspire you.

  • Explore how the space fits into your lifestyle and functional needs.

  • Set clear expectations about priorities and costs, ensuring transparency from the start.

  • Provide you with a pricing guide, so you can see where your project fits within our model and gain a solid understanding of a reasonable budget.

  • By the end of this meeting, you’ll have a clear roadmap of:

    • The scope of your project.

    • Your budget and priorities.

    • The next steps to bring your vision to life.

We’ll also bring the design agreement to this meeting. If you're ready to move forward, we’ll finalize the agreement, and at our second meeting, we’ll collect a 7% retainer and schedule a full scan of your space.

 
 

Step 2: Design Agreement & Site Scans

 
 

At our second meeting, we take the next step in making your project a reality. During this visit, we will:

  • Collect the 7% design retainer to officially kick off the design phase.

  • Conduct a 3D scan of your space for precise measurements and detailed modeling.

  • For large-scale remodels or whole-home renovations, we’ll scan the entire property to create a digital twin for enhanced planning and visualization.

  • Utilize these models for detailed renderings and accurate pricing, ensuring every element aligns with your budget and expectations.

With these tools in place, we’ll be ready to dive into the design process with clarity and confidence.

 
 

Step 3: Bringing Your Vision to Life

With a detailed 3D model of your space, we can begin refining materials, selections, and finalizing designs. This phase includes:

  • Design Meetings to review samples, renderings, and floorplans, making sure you feel confident in every decision.

  • Real-Time Budget Updates, so each choice you make is reflected immediately, ensuring full transparency.

  • Project Management Software where you can access your budget, selections, and design presentations anytime, from anywhere.

This thoughtful and collaborative approach ensures that your vision is refined down to the finest detail.

Step 4: Finalizing the Contract & Preparing for Construction

With your budget and selections confirmed, we’ll outline everything in a formal contract. This includes:

  • A finalized project schedule.

  • A clear scope of work.

  • A structured payment schedule.

Once signed, we immediately begin pre-construction work:

  • Ordering long-lead items like cabinets, doors, and windows to keep your project on schedule.

  • Submitting permit applications so everything is in place before we break ground.

  • Scheduling subcontractors and vendors to ensure a smooth workflow and timely completion.

This phase ensures that every detail is ready for a seamless start to construction.

Step 5: Construction Begins

This is where your vision truly comes to life! Our expert crew and trusted subcontractors work diligently to transform your space. During construction, you’ll have:

  • A dedicated project manager, your main point of contact for any questions or updates.

  • Specialty trades handling everything from electrical to plumbing to ensure high-quality craftsmanship.

  • Weekly updates every Friday, providing a recap of completed work, plans for the upcoming week and a clear picture of how everything fits into the project timeline.

We believe in open, proactive communication, so you’re always informed about progress every step of the way.

Step 6: The Final Touches & Your Move-In

As we near project completion, we go the extra mile to ensure everything is just right. This includes:

  • Satisfaction Sign-Off Sheets at each major payment milestone, ensuring your expectations are met.

  • Final inspections to guarantee that all phases of work meet the highest quality and compliance standards.

  • Move-in readiness, so your new space is fully prepared for you to enjoy. Any last details are addressed immediately to ensure a seamless transition.

We take immense pride in our work, and seeing your vision fully realized is our greatest reward.

Step 7: Our Commitment to Craftsmanship

At Armitage Interiors, we pour our hearts into every project. Many of our past clients have become lifelong friends because we approach every renovation with the same dedication and care as if it were our own home. To back this commitment, we offer:

  • A Three-Year Warranty

    • Covering anything not already protected by manufacturer or dealer warranties.

    • A guarantee that lasts three times longer than the industry standard.

We stand behind our craftsmanship and are committed to ensuring that your space remains beautiful and functional for years to come.
