Question 3

Do you offer free consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer free consultations for projects that are within our service area and align with our typical project scope and budget ranges. Once we understand a little more about your goals, timeline, and budget, we'd be happy to come out, take a look, and help you determine the best next step.

Question 4

How far in advance should I reach out before I want construction to begin?

Accepted Answer

We recommend reaching out 2-4 months prior to your desired start date to account for design time and permitting.

Question 5

Can you help me understand what's possible before I commit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We'll help you explore your options, understand what makes sense for your home, and provide clarity before you commit to a full project. Our team can talk through your goals, budget, and layout ideas.

We require a small engagement fee (1% to 5% of your total project cost) to begin the design process. Full commitment (20% deposit) happens once your design is complete.

Does Redwood use subcontractors?

We have a team of vetted subcontractors that are deeply integrated with our field team. They know our expectations, and have proven standards that meet ours. We require all subcontractors to abide by job site rules, provide insurance certificates, meet licensing requirements, and meet benchmark tolerances for quality and craftsmanship.
