Our Design-Build Process

1 | Plan Every Detail Up Front
We begin with an in-depth consultation to learn about your vision, needs, and investment range. Then, we collaborate on design ideas, layouts, and selections. Before construction begins, you’ll receive a detailed proposal that includes everything—right down to the cabinet knobs, so you know exactly what to expect.
2 | Build with Care and Precision
Once the design and scope are finalized, we transition to construction. Our team follows a well-documented process and schedule, maintaining open communication and a clean jobsite throughout. You’ll always know who’s on site, what’s happening, and when.
3 | Deliver a Space You’ll Love
We conduct a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our high standards, and yours. After your project is complete, we provide warranty coverage to give you peace of mind. We want you to feel confident not just in your new space, but in the team that built it.

We are very pleased with the result and the pictures speak for themselves. We highly recommend this talented team to do your next home project!

What Our Clients Think

"We met with a lot of contractors when we decided to do a home renovation. Our friends recommended Ridgewood Construction and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. They were not only professional, but respectful of our time and space. Every member of the team that we met with, paid close attention to detail and answered every question we had. If there was an issue, they made sure it was fixed. I don’t write google reviews, but I was so impressed I felt that this was very necessary. I am happy to say that when we need a project done in the future, this will be the only team that we use."
