Most Remodeling Experiences Are Broken

The design team and the build crew never talk to each other. You end up stuck in the middle. Case fixes that permanently.

The Industry Standard

  • Design happens in one office, construction in another
  • Budgets balloon 30-50% with "unforeseen" change orders
  • Project timelines slip by months — sometimes a full year
  • You become the project manager of your own renovation
  • When something breaks six months later, good luck reaching anyone

The Case Standard

  • Designers and builders work as one integrated team
  • Every detail refined and approved before construction begins
  • Dedicated project manager on your job — one point of contact
  • 60+ years of on-time, on-budget project delivery
  • 5-year warranty on every project — because they stand behind their work

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before your first conversation with Case

Project costs vary depending on scope, materials, and complexity. Kitchen remodels in the DC metro area typically range from $80,000 to $200,000+. Bathroom projects start around $40,000. Whole-house renovations can exceed $300,000. During your free consultation, Case provides a transparent budget range based on your specific goals — no hidden costs or surprise change orders.

Timelines depend on project scope. A bathroom remodel may take 6-10 weeks. A full kitchen renovation typically runs 12-16 weeks. Whole-house projects can be 6-12 months. The CaseStudy process refines every detail before construction begins, which is why Case consistently delivers on time — confirmed by clients like Franco R., who said they "stayed on schedule and within the agreed budget."

For most projects, no. Case's dedicated project managers carefully plan construction phases to minimize disruption to your daily life. For whole-house renovations, temporary relocation may be recommended for certain phases. Your project manager will discuss this during the planning stage so you can prepare well in advance.

That is exactly why the CaseStudy process includes the Refine phase. Before any construction begins, you see and approve every detail — layout, materials, finishes, hardware. Adjustments happen on paper, not on your walls. This collaborative approach means the final design reflects your taste and lifestyle, not a designer's assumptions.

A general contractor builds what someone else designed. The designer and builder rarely communicate, which creates misalignment, change orders, and delays. Case is a design/build firm — the designers and builders are on the same team, in the same company. They collaborate from day one. Add in 60+ years of experience, 52+ team members, a 5-year warranty, and Washington Post Top Workplace recognition, and the difference becomes clear.
