Starting on a home renovation can be exciting, but understanding the process from start to finish is essential to ensure a smooth experience. At Red Mug Construction, we believe that an informed homeowner is a confident homeowner. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect throughout the home renovation timeline.


1. Initial Consultation & Planning (2-4 Weeks)


The journey begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your goals, budget, and design preferences. Our team will visit your home to assess the space, take measurements, and understand your vision. Following this, we’ll create a detailed project proposal outlining the scope of work, estimated timeline, and costs.


What to Expect:


• Idea-sharing and brainstorming

• Preliminary project estimate

• Design concept development (if applicable)


2. Design & Permitting (4-8 Weeks)


Once the proposal is approved, the design phase begins. This includes creating detailed architectural plans, 3D renderings, and selecting materials and finishes. We’ll also handle permits and inspections required by local building authorities.


What to Expect:


• Collaborative design reviews

• Material selection process

• Permit submissions and approval timeline


3. Pre-Construction Preparation (1-2 Weeks)


Before construction starts, we finalize the schedule, secure materials, and set up the project site. Homeowners should prepare by clearing personal items from renovation areas and making necessary living arrangements if major work is being done.


What to Expect:


• Detailed project timeline

• Construction start date confirmation

• Temporary living adjustments (if needed)


4. Construction Phase (Varies by Project Scope)


This is when the transformation begins. Depending on your project, construction could last anywhere from a few weeks for smaller updates to several months for full-home remodels. We manage every aspect, from demolition to finishing touches, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship every step of the way.


What to Expect:


• Regular updates and progress reports

• On-site project management

• Adjustments to the timeline due to unforeseen conditions (weather, supply chain issues, etc.)


5. Final Walkthrough & Completion (1-2 Weeks)


Once construction is complete, we’ll conduct a detailed walkthrough with you to inspect every aspect of the project. Any final touch-ups or adjustments will be addressed before we hand over the keys to your beautifully remodeled home.


What to Expect:


• Comprehensive project review

• Final punch list completion

• Celebration of your new space!
