Renovation · Westchester & Fairfield County
Done in phases, not all at once.
You do not have to do everything now. Most of our clients don't.
How a phased project is kept honest.
The question we get more than any other is whether this has to happen all at once. It does not, and pretending otherwise is how people end up doing nothing at all.
The move is to plan the whole house and wire for the whole house while it is open, then finish rooms as budget and timing allow. Phase one might be the kitchen, the family room and the network. Phase two might be two years later, and it might be a different order than you expected once you have lived in the place.
What matters is that nothing has to be torn out to add the next piece. We document what was pulled, where it terminates and what it was intended for, so the next phase is additive, whether or not we are the ones doing it.
Something like this?
Every one of these started with a conversation about one room.
Tell us about yours. The calculator gives a planning range from what you are considering, before anyone visits.
Decisions
The three that shape a project like this.
Plan the whole house, build one part
The plan covers everything. The build covers what this year allows. Because the plan exists, phase three does not require undoing phase one.
Wire while anything is open
Any wall that comes down for another trade is an opportunity. Wire pulled during someone else's work is the cheapest wire anyone will ever pull.
A system that is usable at every stage
Each phase has to leave the house working, not half-working. Nobody should live with a control system that is waiting on next year's budget to make sense.
Start a project
Tell us about the space. We'll come out and give you a straightforward plan.
The consultation is complimentary and it starts with a walkthrough or a set of drawings. You will leave it knowing what is realistic in your house, what it costs, and what can wait until phase two.
