The Rekindle Process

 

We’ll review your list of priorities, goals and dreams for your home. We will also perform research on your existing home and required building and zoning codes.

We’ll choose your fixtures and materials and develop interior renderings that show the finished vision coming to life. The result of this step is a clear vision of your project, with a simple scope of work and budget.

As construction on your home begins, we’ll work efficiently, meeting with you on a regular basis and completing your project on-time and on-budget to give you peace of mind.

 
 

Your Project is a Match for Rekindle if:

  • You want a completely new look for your kitchen, bathroom, interior space or first floor.

  • Your functional layout does not need to change. No major plumbing or electrical locations need to be moved.

  • There are no structural changes.

  • You want a full service experience from design to construction - You don't want to do any of the work.

If what you envision for your home does involve more complex solutions or layout changes, our Reimagine Remodeling process would be a better fit.

Kitchens

Our Rekindle approach will keep your kitchen layout and focus on updating the cabinetry, appliances, flooring, countertops, tile, lighting, and fixtures. 

Bathrooms

From your primary bathroom to your guest bathroom, we’ll breathe new life into your space.

Plumbing, electrical and vanity placement will stay the same, while we completely update the look and feel.

Interiors

For your living room, mudroom, basement, entry, laundry and more. Updating the spaces you use everyday can make all the difference.

 

  • Our design build process provides a one-stop solution for homeowners looking to remodel, build additions, or construct a new home from the ground up. We manage your entire project from start to finish. Design build offers many advantages including:

    Improved cost control - Our designers and construction teams work as one unit avoiding unnecessary and costly mistakes that are all too common in a traditional remodeling project.

    Less waiting - By managing both design and construction, we create a faster and seamless transition from the design phase of your project to construction.

    Smoother communication - When designers and builders work together, the results are amazing. Problems are anticipated and quickly solved. We’ll update you on our progress and answer your questions.

    More accountability - No finger pointing or questions about who did what. We stand behind our work and are proud of the results.

  • If you live in a great neighborhood, have made memories and a life in your home, or are worried about selling in a tough real estate market, remodeling just makes sense. Why sell your home when you can transform it into your dream home?

  • Rekindle is a service that is specifically catered to spaces where the functional layout is staying the same. Our Reimagine service offers solutions for complex remodels where the layout of your home is being changed.

  • Our designers are passionate about design and about helping bring our clients’ visions to life. At Forward we don’t specialize in one particular style, we’re comfortable working on any type of home. Our designers take pride in staying up to date on the latest trends as well as studying the principles of good design for circulation, natural light and hierarchy of windows and views. It’s this one-of-a-kind approach that allows our team to create and execute amazing home remodels!

  • Yes we do. Your Project Designer will show you 3D renderings and actually do a virtual fly-through of the space so that you can envision what it will be like living in your kitchen.

  • Yes, we always pull permits and that is another advantage of working with a team that handles every aspect of the remodel, so that you don’t have to worry about it.

  • Yes, we do. We present a full scope of work with numbers at the bottom. We offer transparent budget reviews to help work through value engineering options.

  • Yes! Many of the homes we remodel are older homes in some of Ann Arbor’s most historic neighborhoods. It takes precise planning and expertise to meet Historic District Commission approval. We’ll work with your space, updating the layout to take advantage of the natural light, open up the floor plan, and give you the space you need to truly enjoy your home!

  • We believe in the power of being prepared. During the design phase of your remodeling project, we’ll work closely with you to understand your budget and the scope of your project. We offer a fixed-price contract so that you know what you’ll be spending before heading into the build phase. We have processes in place to minimize the unforeseen surprises that typically get found hiding in walls, floors and the ground. We’ll budget a contingency if we suspect these issues could arise in your home.

  • All of our remodeling projects come guaranteed with an industry leading 3 year warranty.
