Before You Book Your Vacation

You can always vacation closer to home and our beautiful Central Coast just happens to be a vacation destination. If the need arises for you to make or view changes while you're away, there's always FaceTime and SKYPE too.
Before you book your vacation, your first step will be gathering your team of professionals. Depending on the scope of the remodel, kitchens and baths are the number one reason for a getaway, you'll want to choose from local, reputable and recommended contractors, designers and a project coordinator that will work happily together and give you a realistic schedule of events. Once this first step is complete and you've created your timeline, get ready to book your travels... notice, the operative phrase "get ready", and we're not quite ready yet!
