How We Work
What to Expect When You Hire Us
From the first call to the final walkthrough, here is how a project with Hanson Design and Build runs, and what you can count on along the way.
The Process
Seven Steps, No Surprises
01
Reach Out
Call, text or send the estimate form. A quick description and a few photos help me come prepared. I personally return calls and messages.
02
Free Walkthrough
We meet at your home, look at the space, measure, and talk through what you want, how you use the room and what budget feels right.
03
Written Estimate
You get a written estimate that spells out the scope of work, what is included, what is not, and the payment schedule.
04
Selections & Allowances
Finish items like tile, fixtures and lighting are listed as allowances. Choose something under the allowance and you pay less; go over and you pay only the difference.
05
Permits & Scheduling
When a job needs permits, we pull them and schedule the inspections. You get a start date and a realistic timeline before work begins.
06
Building It
You will have my cell number the whole time. Work areas are protected, dust is controlled, and the site is kept picked up as we go.
07
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished job together, make a punch list of anything that needs attention, and take care of it.
Good to Know
Straight Answers
- Changes during the job are in writing. If you want to add or change something, you get the price before we do the work.
- Hidden problems get flagged right away. If we open a wall and find water damage or bad wiring, I show you, explain the options and price it before moving on.
- Payments follow the work. The schedule is written into your estimate before anything starts, so you always know what is due and when.
- You deal with the owner. No sales team or hand-offs. The person who gives you the estimate is the person running your job.

In Our Clients’ Words
They made the whole process so much easier than I expected! The team was great to work with, super communicative, and the attention to detail really shows in the finished product. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a builder you can actually trust!
Kyle did an excellent job on my project!! He was professional, thorough, and paid attention to details that other contractors completely overlooked. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely wants things done right. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
I highly recommend this company. They built a retaining wall, planted bushes and buried downspouts. Kyle was dependable and very professional. He did a fantastic job.

Most remodeling stress comes from not knowing what happens next. My job is to make sure you always know what we are doing this week, what it costs and what decisions are coming up.

FAQ
Common Questions
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. The walkthrough and written estimate are free, with no obligation.
What is an allowance?
An allowance is a set budget for an item you pick out yourself, like tile or a vanity. It lets us price the job before every selection is made. If your choice costs less, the price goes down; if it costs more, you pay the difference.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. Many clients work during the day. We agree on access, working hours and how to reach each other before we start.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. When a project requires permits, we pull them and schedule the inspections.
Can I see what a project like mine costs first?
Yes. Our cost guides show typical local price ranges for kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
