Turn ideas into a better starting point.
Maybe your bathroom no longer works for your routine. Maybe the kitchen needs a refresh but you’re unsure where to start. Talk through what you want to change, your priorities, your existing space and the information contractors will need to discuss the project.
Know what to ask before hiring.
Russell can help you prepare practical questions about scope, allowances, materials, communication, payment milestones and how changes are approved. The goal is to make your conversations with contractors clearer, without choosing or committing to a contractor for you.
Start with a Homeowner Remodel Review.
Reviews start at $150. Tell Russell what you’re planning and what you’re deciding. He’ll confirm what to send, review your photos, plans or quote, and follow up with feedback and next steps.
Support when the next decision comes.
Remodel Guidance can include scheduled check-ins, document reviews and help at agreed milestones. Calls, communication between meetings and the duration of support are set out in a custom proposal. You can ask about ongoing support directly.
Remote advice, local perspective.
Remote reviews are available across the United States. Russell is based near San Marcos, Texas, and brings more than 25 years of hands-on remodeling experience. Site visits in Central Texas can be discussed separately. Structural, code, design and legal questions may require the appropriate local professional.
A few more details.
Can you help before I have contractor bids?+
Yes. Bring your goals, photos, priorities and questions. We can discuss the information you need to organize before approaching contractors.
Do you provide construction drawings?+
This service is homeowner advice and project guidance. Licensed design, engineering, permit drawings and other professional deliverables are outside the scope of the review.
