Although we work with professionals that we could recommend, you are in charge of hiring all the trades people involved, making sure they have proper insurance and documentation as we are not general contractors. We will act as your advisor and help you to prepare for any meetings with trades people, whether that's sitting in on the hiring process or reviewing their work. We collaborate with your chosen professional on design selections, but are not responsible for any agreement you enter with them or their work. Trades people are a diverse group that includes general contractors, architects, builders, remodelers, electricians, plumbers, and others. If you're looking for a home builder, you can start your search with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) www.nahb.org or vet a remodeling contractor at the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) www.nari.org Then come back to us as we'll be happy to work with your chosen professional to create a wholistic design totally representative of your needs.
