Our Process

We start every remodel project by listening to you. Based on your input we'll provide a Preliminary Estimate followed by a Letter of Intent when you're ready to move forward. When you're happy with the details we'll create a Final Estimate for your review and when your absolutely satisfied we'll sign the contract and schedule a launch date.

When your project launches we'll  have the required permits in order, our tradespeople scheduled and the materials lined up. During the building process we'll meet regularly to maintain good communication, we'll have on-site walk throughs to discuss the details and we'll keep a folder system to manage and save reference documents and photos.

 At Metabult we're proud to stand behind our work and we're happy to provide a one year warranty for your remodel or new construction project. Metabuilt is licensed, insured and bonded as are all of our tradespeople. It's our goal from start to finish for all our clients to be absolutely satisfied with the work and service we provide. 

Skills matters. Solid carpentry skills are critical to successful, efficient, well valued remodel projects. More importantly, skilled craftsman make for satisfied clients.
