Remodeling Doesn't Have to Be Stressful—Here's How We Make It Easy

You've made the decision to remodel—great! But now you're wondering…

"What's next?"

At RGV Contracting, we believe remodeling should be exciting, not stressful. Whether you're planning a kitchen upgrade, bathroom renovation, or basement transformation, knowing what to expect every step of the way makes your experience smooth and enjoyable.

Here's a straightforward breakdown of our remodeling process—from first consultation to final walk-through.


📝 Step 1: The Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation. What are your goals, must-haves, and budget?

We'll walk through your space, discuss your vision, and suggest ideas that align with your style and needs.

Deliverable: A clear understanding of scope, timeline, and next steps.


🎨 Step 2: Design & Material Selection

Once we define the project, we dive into design details. This phase includes:

  • Layout planning
  • Choosing materials (flooring, cabinets, tile, fixtures)
  • Budget alignment
  • Timeline refinement

RGV Tip: We'll help you balance style and function, ensuring your space looks amazing and works for your lifestyle.


📑 Step 3: Estimates & Contracts

Transparency is key. Before work begins, you'll receive a detailed estimate covering labor, materials, and timelines. Once you're comfortable, we'll finalize the contract and schedule your start date.

No hidden fees. No vague promises. Everything is clear upfront.


🛠️ Step 4: Permits & Prep Work

If your project requires permits, we handle the paperwork and coordinate with local inspectors to ensure everything's code-compliant.

At the same time, we'll help you:

  • Clear out work areas
  • Set up temporary spaces (for kitchen/bath projects)
  • Establish daily work schedules that minimize disruption

🔨 Step 5: Demolition & Construction Begins

This is when things get exciting! (And a little noisy.)

  • Demolition comes first—out with the old
  • Framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work follows
  • Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures go in next
  • We maintain a clean, organized job site and protect your home from dust and debris

RGV Promise: We'll keep you updated on progress, milestones, and any unexpected discoveries.


🧹 Step 6: Finishing Touches

Once the major work is complete, it's all about the details:

  • Painting
  • Backsplash and tilework
  • Lighting and hardware installation
  • Trim, molding, and final adjustments

This phase brings your vision to life—down to the last cabinet knob.


🔍 Step 7: Final Walk-Through & Handoff

Before we consider a job complete, we'll walk through the finished space with you. This is your chance to:

  • Review every detail
  • Ask questions
  • Make sure everything meets your expectations

Once you're 100% satisfied, we'll provide warranty information and care tips for your new space.
