What kind of projects do you advise on?

We advise on a wide range of residential modifications, including removing interior walls, building deck additions, reframing basements, window installations, and custom finish carpentry.

Do you do the physical work for me?

Our primary service is consulting and planning. We inspect, evaluate, and instruct you on how to do the job safely and accurately, saving you full contractor labor costs while ensuring quality.

Both! We offer on-site walk-throughs throughout the Kalispell and Flathead Valley area, as well as remote video reviews and blueprint markups for homeowners elsewhere.

How do I prepare for our first meeting?

Bring your sketches, photos of the current space, measurements, and any questions you have about materials or structural layout. We will review your goals and walk through each technical requirement.

How does pricing work?

We offer single-session consultations for quick evaluations as well as multi-phase packages that guide you through demolition, framing, and final inspection stages.

Do you help navigate local building permits?

Yes, we can advise you on common building code standards and outline the construction drawings and permit documentation you might need to submit to your local building department.
