The Whole-Home Renovation Process

1. Initial site walk and feasibility assessment: Steven personally walks the existing residence to evaluate structural, mechanical, and scope-of-work factors before any drawings or estimates are produced.

2. Architectural development: Collaboration with established Palm Beach County residential architects to produce renovation drawings that balance preservation with modernization.

3. Permitting and pre-construction: Full handling of municipal review, HOA approval, wind-load engineering, and Palm Beach County permit issuance — typically 8–16 weeks depending on municipality and renovation scope.

4. Selective demolition phase: Controlled removal of finishes, fixtures, and structural elements identified for replacement, with full protection of preserved architectural features and finishes.

5. Structural and systems phase: Foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work executed to current Florida Building Code with all required Palm Beach County inspections.

6. Finish phase: Cabinetry, trim, flooring, tile, stone, lighting, and paint executed to luxury custom-home standards under Steven's direct supervision.

7. Final inspections and certificate of occupancy: Coordination with Palm Beach County inspectors through municipal sign-off.

8. Final walkthrough and warranty: Steven personally walks the completed renovation with the homeowner, resolves any punch list items, and establishes the post-completion warranty relationship.
