A renovation
nobody has
to finish
after us
We run every project like a diary: a photo and three sentences every evening — what got done, what happens tomorrow, where the risk is. Below is the diary of one two-bedroom in Little Havana, all 78 days of it.
- 212projects handed over since 2016
- 18projects on site right now
- 78days — the average full gut
The foreman texts daily.
The estimate doesn’t drift.
Keys on the day we named.
“The foreman texted every evening. In 78 days I never once showed up on site uninvited.”

Diary of one project
Two-bedroom, 620 sq ft, Little Havana. 78 days. This is exactly what lands in your chat every evening — with photos, not “all good, still working”. The stage-by-stage shots live in the project chat — here you see these rooms as handed over.
- Day 01
Demolition
Stripped back to the slab, hauled out six dumpsters. Found aluminum wiring from 1978 — told the owner the same day, and it was already in the estimate.
- Day 12
Rough-in
New electrical on 32 points, manifold water distribution. Every run photographed before drywall — so a year from now you know where not to drill.
- Day 34
Wet work
Two inches of self-leveling over an isolation strip, plaster to screed lines. Then twelve days of drying, no heaters, just open windows. Rush it and the tile cracks.
- Day 61
Finishes
Tile, two coats of paint, luxury vinyl plank over an eighth-inch underlay. Baseboards went in after the built-ins, so there are no gaps.
- Day 78
Handover
Cleaning, every outlet tested, the sign-off signed. Handed over the folder: wiring diagrams, material warranties, spare tile in case of a chip.
Who will be in your apartment
One person is assigned to your project, demolition to sign-off. Every question about schedule or money goes to him, and his number stays the same all 78 days.
- Foreman One per project
On site every day: signs off on the crews’ work, keeps the schedule, and writes your evening report himself.
- Rough-in crew 3–4 people
Demolition, leveling, plaster, electrical, plumbing. First in, done before the finishers arrive.
- Finish crew 2–3 people
Tile, paint, flooring, doors. They walk into finished rough-in and never wait on someone “wrapping up”.
- Materials runner Our own driver
Delivers to the schedule. Which is why the crew never loses a day waiting on thinset.
What the 78 days are made of
The real schedule of the Little Havana two-bedroom. Drying gets its own line because money can’t speed it up.
- Demolition 5–9 days
Tear-out, hauling, protecting the entry and elevator
- Rough-in 18–26 days
Electrical, water, drainage, leveling, plaster
- Drying 10–14 days
The screed cures. Rush it and it cracks
- Finishes 20–30 days
Tile, paint, flooring, doors, baseboards
- Handover 2–3 days
Cleaning, testing every point, the document folder
What the labor costs
- Cosmetic
- $35 per sq ft
- Walls, ceilings, floors. We don’t touch the systems.
- Full gut
- $95 per sq ft
- Stripped to the slab, new electrical and plumbing, turnkey bathroom.
- To a design
- $160 per sq ft
- Niches, cove lighting, built-in furniture, designer supervision.
Materials are billed separately against receipts — we make nothing on them. On a 620 sq ft full gut the labor works out to roughly $59,000; the foreman gives you the exact figure after the site visit, and it does not move once it’s signed.
You buy the materials
We make nothing on them and take no percentage. You get a list with quantities and links and pay the supplier directly — or hand us a card and we bring back the receipts.
That comes out 12–18% cheaper than “materials through the builder”, and every receipt is in your hands. Leftover tile and paint stay in the apartment.

Book a foreman

Got it. The foreman will call you back within an hour.
