How do you help your clients through a seamless home construction process ?
My 7 Simple Steps offers a seamless , stress-free experience for homeowners . It takes them from putting their dreams on paper to building their dream home to the final beautiful end result . I steward the project for the homeowner from conception to completion .
If someone is thinking about remodeling their home what is the first thing they should do to get started ?
The first thing a homeowner should do is their homework , which involves actually pulling pictures and creating a vision board . Thoughts become things and the easiest way to get started is putting ideas together through a series of photos and a checklist of what you want and don ’ t want .
What should a homeowner look for when selecting a team to work with on their home construction project ?
The two most important things when selecting your team are to make sure the people you are selecting are qualified to do what you are asking and you must actually like working with them . You will be working with this team for a year or more depending on the size of the project . It ’ s all about the team , the process , and the execution .
What are some of the things you like most about working on homes in Newport Beach ?
I love the location of the coastal homes and the variation of the styles from vintage cottages to ultra modern with lots of large windows and expansive views . When working on homes at the beach , it ’ s important to select materials like copper for gutters and trim that can withstand weather conditions and also enhance the beauty of the home . Building your dream home should be a wonderful experience and the end result should match your lifestyle and how you entertain .
