We Make Remodeling Your Home Simple

Consultation: We Start With Your Vision
The first step in any remodeling or renovation project is to gain an understanding of your vision and goals for your home. During our initial consultation phase, we sit down with you to discuss your ideas, preferences, and needs. This is a crucial step where we get to know you and your lifestyle, which helps us tailor our services to your specific requirements. We'll talk about things like your budget, timeline, and any specific requests you have for your renovation or build.

Design + Planning: Your Vision Becomes a Blueprint
With a clear understanding of your vision, our team moves to the design and planning phase. Our team works closely with you to create detailed plans, 3D renderings, and material selections. We'll guide you through every choice, ensuring the design aligns with your aesthetic and functional needs. This phase is collaborative and iterative - we welcome your feedback and make adjustments to ensure the final plan is exactly what you're looking for.

Construction: We Bring Your Vision to Life
Once the design is finalized, our contractors take over, giving life to the plan. Throughout the construction phase, we ensure open communication, keeping you informed and involved. Our team works diligently to minimize disruption to your daily life and strives to complete your project on time and within budget. We handle all aspects of the build or remodel, from foundational work to the final finishes, ensuring every detail is executed flawlessly.
Understanding the Project Timeline
One of the most important questions you may ask us is: How long will this take? Our answer:
It just depends.
We know you hate to hear it, but without knowing the full scope of your project and all the details, we don't give exact timeframes before your initial consultation. However, we can give you some idea of average timelines based on the types of projects we work on and the things we’ve done in the past.
Construction Phase Timelines
Morrissey Design + Build works with a small team of preferred vendors on every job. This allows us to keep timelines as short as possible as your project gets our full attention. Still, we try to set the expectation that your project could take longer depending on design, weather factors, and material delays.
These timelines are rough estimates of how quickly a project can take when you choose Morrissey Design + Build.
Kitchen: 5-8 Weeks
Bathroom: 4-6 Weeks
Basement: 5-8 Weeks
Room Addition: 6-12 Months
Whole House Projects: 12-18 Months
What’s My Role as a Client?
As your interior design and construction team, we want to ensure that we understand what you’re looking for or need in a new space. Whether we’re remodeling the entire kitchen, reconfiguring the first floor, or updating a half bath, we want to know exactly what inspires you and what your style is.
Don’t Be Surprised By…
-
We do our best to contain it, but you may see some dust throughout your house.
-
It’s just the nature of the beast. Demo and construction are usually noisy, so be prepared to work away from home or in another part of the house.
-
We do all that we can to foresee potential problems, but there is always a chance something will pop up. Because of this, we always factor in a buffer amount to allow for unforeseen issues in each client's budget.
-
Snow falls, people get sick, cars break down, and sometimes items break in shipping. While we pride ourselves on how quickly we complete our projects, being aware that delays can happen allows us all to be resilient when we need to shift a schedule.
-
Where should that outlet be? How high do you want the showerhead? Where do you want the cabinet hardware mounted? Oil-rubbed bronze or chrome? Or brushed nickel or satin nickel? Count on answering plenty of questions in a timely manner to keep your project on schedule.
-
At the end of your project, expect one or two punch list items to take longer to resolve than anything else. It may be a light fixture that arrives broken or the very last two pieces of tile. Getting the final details right is important, even if they take a little longer.
-
For example, we cannot order your countertops until the cabinets they sit on are fully installed. We cannot measure or order your shower glass until all of the tile is installed. We can’t install your appliances too soon, or they might get damaged.
