Build
Ready, set, go!
Once a Construction Agreement is in place, we'll begin to assemble all of the materials and fixtures that we'll need to bring your new space to life.
Special order materials may take several weeks to reach us. We'll ask you for a deposit to cover the costs of these special order items, but that will be the only time we ask you to pay up front. Later invoices will reflect work that has been already completed.
Let's bring your
dream space to life.
Construction that minimizes the mess
We're not going to show up with a sledgehammer, knock down walls, and then disappear for weeks at a time. Demolition won't begin until almost everything is in hand. We aim to complete the project quickly and with as little disruption to your life as possible.
Keeping kids safe, pets happy and the project on schedule
We'll kick off the project with a Pre-Construction Meeting. Together with your designer and project manager, you'll meet the lead carpenter who'll be working on your project daily. Alpha's lead carpenters are master woodworkers, expert problem-solvers, and probably moonlight as rocket scientists. We do know that they turn design magic into real rooms. During this meeting, we'll review the specifics of the project, and discuss property protection, your schedule, your pets, your alarm system—everything we need to know to make the Build process as painless as possible for you.
Regular and responsive communication
During construction, our clients have access to a designer and a project manager as well as the lead carpenter in charge of the project. We know that communication is absolutely key to our clients weathering the disruption of remodeling. We’ll do all we can to keep your project moving and reduce that disruption—and that starts with being available when you call.
Over the course of the project, your project manager will:
- Keep a job schedule posted on-site
- Meet with you weekly (at least) to answer questions and prepare you for the next week's developments
- Schedule tradesmen such as the plumber and electrician so that work runs smoothly and continuously
- Be available to you for questions and concerns
Your lead carpenter will:
- Do much of the construction and installation work
- Supervise tradesmen as necessary
- Answer your day-to-day questions
Every last detail is completed with care
When your project is finished, we know you’ll be pleased you chose Alpha. Our goal is to hear from you the next time you’re ready to remodel or build. We want you to tell all of your friends and family about the good experience you had with us. That’s how we’ve built our 30+ years of success.
Our warranty guarantees our work for a year. Please ask any of our clients about our responsiveness when questions or issues arise—far beyond that one year. Once you’ve worked with us, you’re part of a family.
Soliciting and listening to your feedback
For us, a job is only complete when we see our clients smiling. When we’re done building, we walk through a thorough punch list and our clients complete a satisfaction survey which we read — carefully.
At the end of every job, we ask our clients to rate us 1-10* — not just on the quality of the end result but on everything we’ve done from day one. If we garner less than a nine, on any step, we consider it a failure, and we make it right. (Truth is, we’re not that happy with nines.) Your home remodel isn’t just about smiling when a project is done. It’s about smiling every day we’re in your home and every day thereafter.
*97% of our clients rate us 9-10 in every category.
