Project Design & Build Steward

From first estimate to final handoff. Budget, track, and steward the whole build in one place.

Quick Estimators

Remodel cost calculators for early planning

Use quick, planning-level calculations before a project gets too far down the road. Enter a few property details to understand the likely range, test a deal, or price a roof and flooring scope.

Quick Range

Preliminary ballpark planning based on total square footage, bedrooms, and baths. The planning model starts at $65–$145 per square foot and adds an $8,000–$18,000 allowance for each bath.

Deal Viability

Compare purchase price and after-repair value (ARV) to the remodel range and desired profit margin. See the spread, maximum remodel budget, and a suggested maximum offer before committing.

Roofing and Flooring

Estimate material scopes with waste factors, roof pitch, and selected finishes. Roofing ranges from asphalt and architectural shingles to metal and slate; flooring options include hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet, and engineered wood.

Build a detailed room-by-room estimate with materials, labor, permits, and regional costs.

Property + renovation services

Property Search, Renovation Planning & Estimating

See what a house could become, what it will take to get there, and whether the numbers make sense before you commit.

A house does not have to be finished to be the right house. I help clients look beyond paint, flooring, dated kitchens, and bad renovations to understand a property’s potential.

This work is intended for planning and preliminary budgeting. Final construction pricing remains subject to contractor bids, field conditions, engineering requirements, permits, and final material selections.

For relocating buyers

Relocation & Property Search

We start with how you want to live: your style, priorities, budget, tolerance for construction, and the things you will not compromise on. From available properties, I narrow the field to up to three homes worth serious consideration.

Each finalist can receive an on-site remodeler’s assessment covering:

  • Existing layout and renovation opportunities
  • Major cosmetic and functional changes
  • Materials and finish direction
  • Obvious renovation concerns and preliminary scope
  • Estimated renovation budget and fit for your priorities

A different set of eyes: I work alongside your Realtor and home inspector, looking specifically at the house through the eyes of a remodeler and design steward—not as a licensed inspection or real-estate representation.

For homeowners, buyers, Realtors & contractors

Independent Renovation Estimating

You do not always need a full design engagement to know what a project should cost. The goal is straightforward: establish a realistic working number before a project gets too far down the road.

Home buyers

Preliminary rehabilitation estimate based on the property’s condition, required work, and expected finish level.

Realtors

Renovation potential and a realistic preliminary budget for improvements a buyer or seller is considering.

Contractors

Independent measuring, pricing, and preliminary scope assembly so the contractor can stay focused on the work.

Estimates can be organized by demolition, framing and lumber, insulation, drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, cabinetry, countertops, flooring and tile, lighting and fixtures, labor, and contingency.
