Do you offer free estimates?
Progressive Design Build is happy to provide a complimentary design consultation, the method of which will help us determine if we are a right fit for your project. In this appointment, we will discuss your preferences, the scope of your project, and what you want to achieve. We will also likely ask about the amount you would like to invest in your remodel. In this initial meeting, we will also help you with investment ranges to give you a general idea of costs.
If at this time you are interested in moving forward with a more in-depth, proactive assessment, you will sign a Discovery agreement, which comes with a small investment, ranging from $600 to $1,200 depending on the scope of work. Learn more. During this phase we are preparing on-site field research of existing conditions, “as-built” floor plan drawings, a “scope of work” document, rough conceptual drawings of the proposed spaces, and a Pre-Estimate of the project.

How long will my remodeling project take?
Project timeframes naturally vary depending on a project’s scope, location and the existing home’s condition.
As a design-build firm, we work with homeowners to make their material selections and finalize design details well before construction begins. Consequently, leading up to construction, you can expect the pace of work to be fairly consistent to this realistic version of our own planning calendar.
Once work has started, homeowner changes or unexpected issues can cause setbacks, but with our design-build team securing up to 98 percent of project details upfront and leaving plenty of time for questions and decision-making, project delays are less likely. Learn more about our three-phase design-build process.
Does Progessive Design Build belong to any professional organizations?
Yes, Progressive Design Build selects business partners and associations with the highest standards for excellence. We are proudly associated with SWFL Inc. Chamber of Commerce, My Florida, NARI, Remodeler’s Advantage, GuildQuality, and Dura Supreme Cabinetry. Learn more.
Can you provide a list of past clients I can talk to?
Yes, in addition to many client testimonials we would be happy to provide you with a list of references.
Do I need to move out of my home during the remodel?
