Renovation Rep

Service

Owner's representative

On commercial projects, no serious owner builds without an owner's representative — someone whose only job is protecting the owner's interests. Homeowners deserve the same. Your contractor works for the project; I work for you.

What's included

01

Independent advice

I don't build, sell materials, or take referral fees from contractors. My only client is you.

02

Contractor vetting

License, insurance, references, and past work verified before anyone bids on your home.

03

Bid & contract protection

Apples-to-apples bid comparison and contract terms that protect you — payment schedule, allowances, change orders, lien releases.

04

Your voice on site

I attend the meetings, ask the hard questions, and translate construction-speak into decisions you can make confidently.

05

Problem resolution

When something goes wrong — and on real projects something always does — I handle it before it becomes a dispute.

06

Full documentation

Every approval, change, and payment logged, so you're protected if it ever matters.

Who this is for

  • Homeowners who've been burned before — or heard the stories
  • Older homeowners and families managing a renovation for a parent
  • Anyone facing a project with real money and multiple trades at stake

What it costs

A flat fee agreed up front, scoped to the size and length of your project. Think of it the way the industry does: insurance for your renovation, typically a fraction of what one bad contractor decision costs.

+What's the difference between you and a general contractor?

The GC owns the build and profits from the project — every change order is revenue for them. An owner's rep is independent oversight on your side of the table, answering only to you.

+Is this only for big projects?

No — but it pays for itself fastest when multiple trades and real money are involved: kitchens, baths, ADUs, additions. In the free consult I'll tell you honestly whether your project needs it.

+Can you help if my project is already in trouble?

Yes. Stalled schedules, surprise invoices, work you're not sure about — I step in, document where things stand, and get it back on track or safely wound down.

Get someone in your corner.

Before you sign a contract — or if the project you're in has gone sideways — talk to me. The consultation is free.
