Yes, we begin with a complimentary phone project meeting to discuss your timeline, project scope, and budget range. This initial consultation helps us understand your vision and determine if we're the right fit for your needs. Following this conversation, we schedule a detailed on-site project meeting where we take measurements, collect pictures, and answer your questions in person. This on site meeting requires a $200 investment that can be credited towards your project.

We then invest about two weeks to prepare a comprehensive work order agreement that breaks down all materials and labor costs with our fixed pricing guarantee. This structured approach establishes the transparency and trust that are cornerstones of our business.

Our fixed price guarantee ensures you'll never encounter surprise costs or hidden fees during your project. We follow standard residential pricing by R.S. Means/Remodel Max, providing a detailed work order agreement that comprehensively breaks down all materials and labor costs upfront.

A typical kitchen remodel with Pure Love Carpentry takes approximately 4-6 weeks from demolition to completion, depending on the scope and complexity of your project. Factors that influence the timeline include the size of your kitchen, extent of layout changes, and whether you're selecting custom cabinetry or countertops that may have longer lead times.

Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life while never compromising on quality. Bathroom remodels generally require 2-4 weeks to complete, with smaller powder room updates finishing on the shorter end of that spectrum and master bathroom transformations taking longer.

Throughout either type of project, we provide clear timelines during our initial planning phases and keep you updated on progress with regular communication. Our methodical approach and proper planning help us avoid delays, ensuring your Cañon City, Florence, or Penrose home renovation stays on schedule while maintaining our high standards of craftsmanship.

In addition to our lifetime workmanship warranty, all materials and products we install carry their respective manufacturers' warranties, which we provide to you in full documentation at project completion. Should any warranty issues arise, we make the process simple—just contact us, and we'll promptly address the situation, working directly with manufacturers when necessary.
