Our Home Renovation Services- Part II

The easiest way to set ourselves up for success as a company and a partner in your home renovation process, is to elevate you as a major stakeholder in every decision that we make. While we certainly consider ourselves experts in our skill-set, that doesn’t mean that we’re not open to conversations and questions about our ideas for your homes and businesses. That is how great collaborations are fostered, and we are all about great collaborations.

1So let’s talk through the remainder of the process, the services that you can expect (both tangible and not so) through the duration of your renovation.

So far we’ve walked through the pre-process, which is where most of the creative conversations will take place. After all, we won’t feel comfortable having you sign on the dotted line for our services with any project, if we can’t promise you alignment with the vision that has been in your head for so long.

But if we’re on the same page, then it’s time to get the home renovation party started. You now have in-hand contract with duration and costs. If we see these numbers changing once the work has begun (whether it will take longer or cost a different amount), then we will communicate that to you immediately. You won’t be put in positions to sign away your life based off of our updates, we’ll always give you options. For example, if it’s going to take two weeks longer to give you one product, but we can give you a secondary product in one week– it’s up to you which you prefer. We will give you our opinions– sure– but you make the final decisions.

Our work should take up to ten days, dependent on customizations, size of the land and specific challenges. For 80% of instances you shouldn’t even have to leave your house. There’s a good chance, if we’re only working on the foundation of the home, that you won’t know that we’re there. During this time we will give you updates as frequently as you’d like. If you don’t want any updates, then we’ll be quiet as mice, unless we need cost/time/material approvals. If you want daily updates on exactly what is going on, then that is exactly what you will get. You will have one Team Lead from Restumping Melbourne, one consistent face to see each day and to ensure you that everything is always under control.

And when the work is done? Well then it’s time for an in-person walkthrough. We should have answers to any questions that you may come up with. We can explain the materials that we’ve used. We can explain exactly how long your restumped foundation will last and best practices to make sure that this duration is as long as it can be.

Only once we receive a seal of approval and firmly shake hands, will we settle all accounts. But the relationship doesn’t stop there. Our work with foundations traverses into a host of knowledge about the durability of walls, floors and homes in general. Feel free to reach out with questions at any time. Our friendship and commitment to you, is lifelong.

Our Home Renovation Services- Part I

We’ve been Melbourne’s number one option for re-stumping and underpinning for many years. We’ve gained our reputation and the trust of Melbourne’s community through our tireless efforts to elevate our offering of services to the next level. This may have started with underpinning and re-stumping but we quickly realized an opportunity to expand into general home renovations. After all, when you’re looking at the myriad of property styles, sizes and types that we are, you begin to see a lot of consistencies… Or sometimes, inconsistencies. When we’re leveling the foundation of your home, it gives us an up-close-and-personal view of what may have been wrong with the foundation to begin with. This quickly leads us to nit pick every other thing potentially improvable about your property.

1We’re sorry, but this perfectionism is something that we’ll never apologize for. Although we sort of just did, but it will never happen again. And why would you want it to? You’re getting multiple services for the price of one when we survey your property because it opens the door to transparent and creative conversation about perfecting your dream property. You may have had your heart set on a certain style of verandah or deck. We’ll be able to tell you exactly how feasible this vision is, and what it will take to make it a reality. Conversely, sometimes we’ll need to be the bad guys to help you adjust your vision a little bit, so that it’s safe and comfortable for everyone who gets to experience it. 

So let’s talk through the process. It’s pretty similar to when you reach out to us with your underpinning and re-stumping needs. You know the different media you can reach out to us through– email, phone, in-person– all are options, and all make us very happy. We are so honored to chat with you about your needs, and outline how we can help.

We’ll start with a basic introductory conversation outlining who we are and what we do. We’ll get to know each other so that the working relationship becomes so comfortable that all stress outlining your project magically disappears. You can share sample pictures of what you’re looking for, and we’ll show sample pictures of our work. Again, with our storied history in Melbourne, there’s a pretty good shot that we’ve already worked on a project pretty similar to what you’re looking for. There should be so many questions during this process. Bring it! We’re looking forward to serving you with the perfect answer for every question that you have. In fact, we’ll be worried if you don’t ask us enough questions…

If you feel like we’re aligned– personally and professionally, then we’ll begin to put together a plan for you. The plan will be visual, it will be extensive, and it will always include a timeline and an estimate. We won’t cause you to incur any costs until you sign on the dotted line.

And then, the fun begins… Stay tuned for Part II of everything Re-Stumping Melbourne has to offer when it comes to your home
