Home remodels

Planning a remodel? Start with the scope.

Kitchens, baths and additions are where budgets tend to drift. We help you get clear on what you want before design starts, and flag the upgrades that are much easier while the walls are open.

Get this part right

Most remodel stress comes from decisions made too late.

What isn't working now

Not enough counter space, a bathroom everyone fights over, a dark hallway. Start with the problem, then the finishes.

While the walls are open

Wiring, insulation and plumbing are cheapest to update mid-remodel. Later, it means opening walls again.

Where the money goes

Decide what you won't compromise on and where you're flexible. It makes every later choice easier.

How it works with Sanctuary

Three steps, at your pace. You can stop at any point.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your home

    Send us a few details about the house and what's bugging you. Photos help. Nothing gets shared without your OK.

  2. 02

    Talk through your options

    We go over your options with you, including what each one costs you in time and hassle, and whether it makes sense to wait.

  3. 03

    Meet one vetted partner

    When you're ready, and with your permission, we introduce one licensed partner we've checked carefully. They quote, contract and do the work with you directly, and we're still here if questions come up.

Fewer surprises

What usually throws remodels off

None of these are rare. Planning for them is what helps.

Changes mid-project

Every change order costs money and time. A clear plan up front cuts them down.

Permits and plans

Bigger remodels need drawings and city approval. Your contractor or designer handles that, and we'll explain where things stand.

Things behind the walls

Old wiring, plumbing or rot can show up once demolition starts. A good contractor tells you how they'll handle that before they start.

Scope, cost and schedule depend on the house and the project.

Common questions

Where do I even start?

With a list of what's not working and what you want instead. We'll help you turn that into something a contractor can quote.

Can I add energy upgrades to my remodel?

Often, yes. A remodel is a good time for insulation, better windows or electrical updates.

Who does the remodel?

A licensed general contractor from our vetted partners. We introduce one, and only if you ask.

Does it cost anything to talk it through?

No. You're under no obligation.
