What to Expect When You Work With Awl Carpentry
The Awl Carpentry Process
Any contractor can claim to work with a streamlined process to simplify the customer experience. But only Awl Carpentry lives that message every day. As one of the South Shore’s most trusted, experienced home remodelers, we bring our dedication to quality and commitment to honest communication to every site, delivering a renovation experience and proven process that is second to none.
Same-Day Out Reach
We’ll be in touch fast, usually the same day, to introduce ourselves, get your project underway, and give you a clear picture of what Awl Carpentry can do. During our initial conversation, we’ll ask about your plans, where you are in the renovation process, design ideas, and financing options. This process helps us tailor the experience to your requirements.
On-Site Walkthrough
When you’re ready, we conduct a full walkthrough of your proposed space. We answer questions, check utilities and measurements, make inquiries, and offer helpful suggestions to avoid unforeseen costs or construction delays. This helps us determine precisely how you want to live in your new space and tailor our work to that need.
Budget Breakdown
Once you’re happy with our remodeling proposal, we will break down your unique budget, item by item, and explain all costs to your satisfaction. We then help you with all materials, scheduling, and ordering appointments to relieve stress and take everything one step at a time so you avoid decision fatigue.
Friday Follow-Up
When all materials are on-site, we take control of the project, and remodeling can begin. At the end of the week, we communicate with you during our exclusive “Friday Follow–Up,” providing status updates using sophisticated 3D modeling software, upcoming project stages and design work, as well as clearly defined payment, and invoice schedules in the spirit of full transparency and continuous communication.
