Eight trades, each priced on its own basis, not a house rate.
A general handyman rate doesn't tell you anything about a kitchen tear-out or a footing pour. Every trade here carries its own price basis, its own typical lead time and its own list of what's included, because a home renovation crew that quotes everything the same way is guessing on at least one of them.
This page is the index. Each trade below links out to its own page with the full scope, the pricing tiers or per-unit basis, and what we won't do without a licensed trade named on the job.
How to read this page
Price basis first, lead time second.
Square footage, linear footage, per-room or per-bathroom tiers, flat call-out plus itemized tasks. Whichever basis a trade uses is set by what actually drives the cost on that kind of job, not by what's easiest to advertise.
Every figure below is a typical range built from jobs this crew has actually run. A range is not a quote. The Scope Builder turns your specific size and finish tier into an estimated band; a signed written scope turns that into the number the job runs on.

Lead times start once a scope is signed and any material is on order, not from the day you call. Additions run longest because a stamped engineered plan and permit review sit ahead of the first stud.
How the number gets set
Same three steps, whichever trade you pick.
Walk the job, measure it
Square footage, linear footage, room count or task count, whichever basis that trade actually uses. Guessing at a footprint is how estimates go sideways later.
Apply the trade's basis and your finish tier
Standard, upgraded or high-end changes the material and labor multiplier, not the basis itself. A composite deck and a pressure-treated deck are priced on the same per-square-foot basis with a different material line.
Write the scope, list what's excluded
Panel changes, gas lines and structural work without an engineered plan get named and routed to a licensed trade rather than folded into our number.
Run your own numbers before you call.
The Scope Builder applies these same price bases to your size and finish tier and hands back an estimated band, a lead-time range and a pre-filled inquiry.
