A clear, four-phase process built to take the chaos out of a high-stakes renovation
Most renovation horror stories trace back to the same root cause: a process that was loose, undocumented, or invented as the project went along. Desert Luxe runs every project — whether it is a single bathroom or a full home — through the same four phases. The steps do not change. Only the scope does.
PLAN
Before anything gets built, everything gets decided
Most cost overruns and timeline blowups happen because decisions get made mid-construction. Our planning phase exists to make as many of those decisions as possible before a single tool comes out.
What happens
Initial consultation (in-home or virtual)
Site assessment and feasibility review
Design direction conversations and inspiration boards
Scope of work documented in writing
Material and finish selections
Detailed estimate with line-item pricing
Typical Duration
2 to 4 weeks for kitchens and baths. 4 to 8 weeks for full home remodels.
Build
Where good planning becomes a finished home.
Construction is the part most clients dread. Our job is to make it the calmest part of your year. You will get weekly written updates, real-time access to your project file, and a single point of contact for everything that comes up.
What Happens
Pre-construction site walk and protection setup
Permits pulled and inspections scheduled
Subcontractor scheduling and on-site coordination
Weekly written client updates with photos
Real-time budget tracking and selection management
On-site quality checks at every phase transition
Typical Duration
8 to 16 weeks for kitchens and baths. 4 to 9 months for full home remodels.
Refine
The difference between done and right.
Most contractors call a project finished when the major work is done. We do not. The last two weeks of a project are reserved for the detail work that separates a renovation from a real home — the punch list, the touch-ups, the last small adjustments that the client will see every day for years.
What happens
Full punch list walk with detailed notes
Scope and feasibility review
All trades return for touch-ups and adjustments
Final cleaning by professional crew
Photography (optional, included on featured projects
Sign-off and final payment
Typical Duration
1 to 2 weeks.
Hand Off
The relationship does not end at the final walk.
Once the project is complete, you get a full handoff package — everything you need to live in and care for your new space. We also stay available for the inevitable small follow-ups and the much-less-inevitable major ones.
What happens
Complete project documentation handed to client
Material and finish care guide
Warranty information for all installed products and trades
Vendor and brand contact list for future needs
90-day check-in
One-year follow-up walkthrough
Typical duration
Ongoing. We are here when you need us.
