Our Proven Process

We believe great results start with a clear, collaborative process. Here is exactly what to expect when you work with American Remodeling and Construction.

Clarity at Every Step

One of the most common complaints homeowners have about contractors is being kept in the dark. Unexpected costs, unclear timelines, and poor communication make what should be an exciting project feel stressful. We built our process specifically to eliminate those problems.

Every project follows the same five steps. You know what's happening, when it's happening, and what it costs before we ever pick up a tool.

1

Free Consultation

Every project starts with a free, no-obligation consultation at your home. We come to you, walk through the space, and take the time to really listen to what you want. No sales pressure, no rush. Just an honest conversation about your vision and what it would take to make it happen.

By the end of the consultation, you'll have a clear sense of the scope, a rough idea of the budget range, and a feel for whether we're the right fit for your project.

  • On-site visit at your home
  • No obligation, no pressure
  • Honest budget guidance
  • All questions answered

Design & Proposal

After the consultation, we develop a detailed design plan and a fully itemized proposal. For larger projects, we use a cost-plus contract model -- you see every direct cost broken down by phase: labor, materials, subcontractors, and superintendent hours. Nothing is buried in a lump sum.

Our proposals include a 15% overhead recovery (covering logistics, fuel, tool wear, and job site management) and a 12% profit retainage that is held separately and only released at project completion. That means we don't earn our profit until the job is finished to your satisfaction.

  • Phase-by-phase cost breakdown
  • Transparent overhead and profit structure
  • Clear project timeline with phase dates
  • Profit retainage held until you are satisfied

Transparent Pricing

We believe you should know exactly what you're paying for. Our proposals are detailed, clear, and honest.

The Cost-Plus Model: Nothing Hidden

On larger projects, we use an industry-standard cost-plus pricing structure. Here is exactly how it works:

Direct Costs

Labor, Materials & Subs

Every line item is listed: labor hours and rates, material quantities and prices, and subcontractor costs by trade. You see exactly what you are paying for.

+15%

Overhead Recovery

Covers delivery logistics, fuel, tool wear, superintendent time, and job site management. These are real costs of running a professional operation. Overhead recovery is not profit.

+12%

Profit Retainage

Held separately and not released until the project reaches substantial completion and the punch list is closed. We do not earn our profit until the job is finished to your satisfaction.

3

Material Selection

Once the proposal is approved, we guide you through selecting the specific materials and finishes for your project. We have established relationships with quality suppliers and can help you find options that match your style and fit your budget.

We don't rush this step. The materials you choose will be in your home for years, and we want you to feel confident and excited about every selection.

  • Guided material selection
  • Trusted supplier relationships
  • Budget-conscious options
  • No pressure decisions

Final Walkthrough

When construction is complete, we do a thorough final walkthrough with you. We go through every detail of the finished project together, and we don't consider the job done until you are completely satisfied.

If there's anything that needs to be adjusted or touched up, we take care of it. Your satisfaction is not just a talking point for us. It's the standard we hold ourselves to on every single project.

  • Thorough detail inspection
  • Any punch-list items resolved
  • Final clean-up and debris removal
  • 100% satisfaction guarantee

You'll Love the Result

We're not done until you're completely satisfied. That's not a slogan. It's our standard.
