Ability is a design-build-remodel firm. We’ll work with you from the moment you decide to take on a remodel all the way through the warranty period. Our team handles all the subcontracting and workflow to save you time, money, and stress.
Keeping Communication Simple
Having one point of contact is a huge advantage of hiring your design-build-remodeling team. When any questions arise during your project you will know exactly where to go for answers.
Ability uses an online communication tool called BuilderTrend. This client portal has everything you need regarding your project, budgets, selections, and timeline.
In addition to our software, we strive for personal connections with our clients and take pride in the relationships we build throughout the remodeling process. We know that having a team of builders in your home can be stressful, so we want to keep communication open to ease some of that stress. We’ll take every precaution to respect your space.

With the team at Ability, we take on full responsibility for your project, minding every small detail so you don’t have to. Using Ability’s award winning trade alliance, we are able to manage all subcontractors personally through your remodel. When a problem arises, you know to come straight to us and we will find the answers and handle the issue quickly and efficiently.

Our Design Build Process
Preparation
We order permits, gather materials, and organize any subcontractor that might be needed.
Pre-construction Meeting
You receive the project agenda, analyze the payment plan, meet the superintendent, and see how the project will unfold.
Demolition
We mask off the rest of your home to keep it clear of dust and damage. This is often the messiest and most dangerous part of the whole remodel, and we want to respect your home and everyone who lives in it.
Framing and Mechanical
We frame out any new walls, floors, and ceilings. We’ll also schedule the rough trades for anything that needs to be installed within the walls, such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. Ability will work with all of these sub-trades to make sure the overall scope of the project is maintained, and no compromises are made.
Drywall
It’s time for the new space to come together. This is another messy part of a remodel. We recommend having a cleaning crew on standby for when this phase is complete.
Finishes
This is the most fun and exciting part of the job! Ability will work on getting finishes installed, including cabinets, flooring, wall finishes, counter tops, plumbing, electrical fixtures, and paint. These are the details that make your home unique.
Walk-through
Towards the end of the project, we will perform a thorough walk-through to complete a pre-completion punch list. This will keep everyone on task and make sure things are going smoothly as we finish your project.
Enjoy Your Renovated Home!
Even though your remodel is complete, this is not the last you hear from Ability. Your project will now enter into the warranty period. For the next two years, Ability stays in touch with you making sure your remodeling project is still as awesome as when we left it.
