RESTORATION

Our Design & Build Process

1. Conversation & Fit

Every project begins with a conversation focused on your goals, priorities, timeline, and budget range. This step helps determine if we’re the right fit and ensures alignment before moving forward.

We explain the process, outline next steps, and set clear expectations from the start—so nothing feels uncertain.

2. On‑Site Walkthrough & Discovery

Meeting at your home allows our team to understand the space, evaluate existing conditions, and discuss possibilities in context. This walkthrough helps identify constraints, opportunities, and early considerations that may affect scope or cost.

The same team stays involved as the project progresses, ensuring continuity as ideas turn into plans.

3. Ballpark, Design & Detailed Estimate

With a clear understanding of the project, we provide a ballpark investment range and can make adjustments to scope, design, or selections in order to get the ballpark to match your desired investment amount.

As the project moves forward, you’ll work with our in‑house design team or trusted partner to refine layouts, selections, and details.

4. Proposal, Scheduling & Communication

Once scope, design, and pricing are aligned, we review the full project proposal together and prepare for construction. Clients have a single point of contact and access to a dedicated online portal where schedules, updates, selections, and approvals are organized in one place.

This keeps communication clear and allows you to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

5. Construction, Walkthrough & Support

During construction, our team remains focused on quality, cleanliness, and respect for your home. Once work is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough, address remaining details, and transition into the warranty phase.

Even after the project is finished, we remain available to answer questions and provide support—because our commitment doesn’t end at completion.

“Jay, Chris and the Semper Fi team have worked on our 100 year old house in Montreat for various projects over the past few years. They have always been very responsive to us, listening to our needs and concerns. Their work is outstanding. I credit Semper Fi for literally saving our wonderful house and giving us peace of mind. They are just good people and I give them my highest recommendation.”

"Jay, Chris and their team at Semper Fi did an extensive remodel/renovation for us prior to a move, while my wife and I were located 800 miles away from Black Mountain. Semper Fi was professional, helpful and flexible in accommodating our special situation and working in partnership with our design firm. "

"Semper Fi sets realistic time and cost expectations, they kept us informed every step of the way. They met every deadline and didn't increase the price because they did a great job of estimating upfront costs. I highly recommend! "

"Our designer suggested Semper Fi and we couldn't have been happier with the company! They brought a willingness to achieve OUR goals in the best possible way, to stay within our budget and to help us make materials choices that would suit our lifestyle. We not only wanted beauty, but functionality and both were achieved with skill and craftsmanship."

"We had an extensive remodeling project done by Semper Fi and it went extremely well; we are VERY pleased with the results. Chris and Jay and their whole team were great to work with, extremely pleasant, professional, and competent. We've had so many compliments on the house after the renovation. In fact, we have already contracted with Semper Fi to do some additional renovations. We highly recommend them!"
