We finalize your remodel plans BEFORE you call your first contractor.
73% of all remodeling projects go over budget because contractors exploit homeowners through vague specs, hidden allowances, lowball bids, unfavorable contract terms, and bait and-switch tactics.
The average cost overrun in the US is a whopping $15,000!

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR REMODEL BEFORE YOU CALL A CONTRACTOR
You don’t need to know construction—you just need a Trusted Remodel Advisor. Our Remodel Ready Specification Package arms you with a professionally built plan that tells every contractor: you’re not the average homeowner.
No vague bids. No shady upsells. No costly “surprises.”
Before you ever pick up the phone, we help you define exactly what you want, how it should be built, what materials to use, and when it needs to be done. You walk into contractor conversations already prepared, protected, and in charge.
It’s your power move. Your custom Remodel Spec sets the ground rules, clearly outlines your expectations, and demonstrates that you demand accountability. Every contractor must bid on the same clear scope—your vision, your quality standards, your timeline.
Because when you show up like a pro, contractors play by your rules.
Did You Know?
73% of home remodels across the country go over budget, with the average 30% cost overrun costing the homeowners an un-budgeted $15,000 on their remodel. That’s something that NO contractor will share with you. And your neighbors will be too embarrassed to tell you they fell into the trap and overpaid on their remodel.
And the #1 reason is because the homeowners never had a tight remodeling specification that would control their budget, quality, or contractors.
With our Remodel Ready Specification Service – a pioneering approach to home remodeling – you stop that insanity in its tracks.
One 100% Personalized Remodel Ready Specification Package includes:
A structured, laser-focused worksheet that walks you through clarifying your remodel priorities, budget triggers, must-haves, and deal-breakers—so you show up to our consultation meeting informed, organized, and ready to command
A 60-minute deep-dive video or phone consultation with one of our Trusted Remodel Advisors, all experts in defining the full scope of your project, outlining material standards, flagging budget risks, and identifying hidden traps before any contractor can derail your plans.
We translate your goals into a contractor-facing working document that locks in the scope of work, required materials, quality expectations, and deliverable timeline. No guesswork. No gray areas. Every contractor must now bid on exactly the same terms and conditions of your project. This document becomes your control mechanism.
Your specification includes clear, enforceable standards for finish quality, fixtures, and materials—blocking cheap swap outs and downgraded substitutions contractors love to sneak in “for budget reasons.”
We define realistic project durations and milestones to help you hold your contractor accountable—not just at the end, but at every phase of the project.
An exclusive guide that shows you how to project confidence, competence, and control when requesting bids or negotiating contracts. Learn what to say, what to ask, and how to prevent contractor manipulation before it starts.
Cut through the noise. Learn to spot inflated allowances, vague exclusions, deceptive wording, and scope gaps in contractor bids—before they become your financial nightmare.
Our stamp of approval on your spec signals to contractors that you’re not an easy mark—you’re informed, professionally supported, and prepared. It sets the tone from the start and elevates how they approach your project.
Learn the moves contractors hope you never figure out—from anchoring bids to underbidding change orders. Know what to watch for, when to push back, and how to stay in control no matter who you hire.
This is not just a remodeling project specification—it’s your remodel command center from your first bid to completed build.
Without a solid pre-bid spec, you’re at the mercy of contractor pricing games and surprise upcharges, to contractor proposal omissions or unnecessary additions that can substantialy impact your family’s safety and finances.. Our expert-led process puts you in control of your remodel – not the contractor.
