Our Award-Winning Process
Why a Contractor's Remodeling Process Matters
A homeowner's remodeling experience—positive or negative—can almost always be traced back to the process used to plan and execute their remodel.
If you value a low-stress remodeling experience, start by choosing a contractor whose process maximizes up-front planning and minimizes unpleasant surprises.
McLennan's process is based on the Design-Build method of project delivery, which is proven to provide the smoothest, most efficient and rewarding experience for client and contractor alike.
Below is a walk-through of our award-winning remodeling process.

Step 1
Discovery
Then we'll get together for an in-home consultation to talk through your project's scope, budget, and timeline.
This gives us all a chance to connect and dig into the driving needs behind your project. We'll also evaluate your existing space and gather the information needed to provide a proposal and action plan for moving forward.
- Free consultation with an experienced home remodeling Project Consultant
- Free Discovery Estimate to give you an initial idea of the financial commitment required for your project
- Basic evaluation of your existing space in the context of your prospective remodel
- Customized action plan to help you take the next right step for your remodeling journey
Step 2
Project Development
Your designated Project Developer will systematically walk you through the details of your remodel, from layout to paint color, always keeping in mind your target budget, timeline, and end goals for the space.
This is an engaging, interactive process that ensures your expectations are heard, understood, and translated into accurate, complete construction documents.
When all the project details are defined, your Project Developer will walk you through the finalized renderings, scope of work and specifications, and total investment to make sure you're ready to sign your Build Approval.
- A designated Project Developer to help identify your key objectives and guide you through design options customized to your vision and investment goals
- Diverse meeting and appointment formats to accommodate your schedule and preference (in-home, office/showroom visits, phone calls, virtual meetings)
- As-built drawings and digital mapping of your existing space*
- Design concepts and 3D renderings created by an industry-certified designer*
- Project investment tracking during the design process to help you make educated financial decisions related to project priorities
- Access to a team of industry-leading professionals who specialize in developing and delivering solutions that enrich the lives of our clients

We care deeply about ensuring that you feel confident about your remodeling journey. To demonstrate our commitment to your satisfaction, we offer a hassle-free Money-Back Guarantee during Project Development.
Step 3
Production
Pre-Production
During Pre-Production we’ll obtain permits, order materials, and build a detailed schedule for our crew, trade partners—most importantly—for you. We'll also provide a payment schedule for your review and approval.
Internally, your Project Developer and the Lead Carpenter assigned to your project will meet to review your scope of work in detail. They'll also conduct an on-site walk-through of your project to ensure the information handoff is complete.
Production
As your project moves into active production, your Lead Carpenter will manage the process of bringing your remodeling vision to life! Our Production team will keep you informed about progress and schedule details, so you always know what to expect.
Throughout Production, our cloud-based project management software will allow you to communicate directly with our entire team, and view details about your project’s schedule.
- A designated Lead Carpenter to manage your project and keep you informed throughout construction
- Pre-production planning that ensures your vision and needs are clearly understood by everyone working on your project
- Project schedule with anticipated completion dates based on milestones
- Clean House Protection to safeguard your home during construction
- Relationships with top-tier vendors and trade partners built from years of trust and partnership
- Warm, friendly, prompt correspondence throughout the Production process
Step 4
Satisfaction
To make sure you're ready for move-in, we'll provide professional cleaning services that leave your space fresh and ready to enjoy. We'll also schedule your 6-month and 12-month Quality of Craftmanship warranty visits, to give you peace of mind that your project was built to last.
And as a McLennan client, you'll now have priority status for any additional projects, maintenance work, or handyman services you might need down the road.
