Our Process

We start by understanding what you hope to achieve. Blue Ribbon Homes listens—really listens—to what you want and need.

Identifying alternatives

There are multiple ways to approach a kitchen or bath remodel. We know that good planning makes all the difference in quality results. We’re happy to help you explore alternatives for meeting your goals. We’ve worked on hundreds of kitchens and baths and draw upon that experience to help you find the best options.

Defining the project

Once we’ve agreed upon the scope of the project, we’ll source the materials and prepare detailed specifications, a comprehensive project bid you can count on, and a realistic schedule.

Solving problems

Remodeling often means using space in new ways. Sometimes that requires superb problem-solving to get the desired results. We excel at finding alternatives when an innovative approach is needed.

Crafting quality results

Our specialty is creating fine, custom finishes—renovated spaces you’ll love. We are experts at scheduling each project element so that work progresses without delay. We stay in close communication with you, so you always know the status, and we oversee each part of the project to ensure that every detail meets our high standards.
