Planned Design First. Built With Precision.
We Design Your Project Before We Build It
Most remodeling projects run into problems because they start with a rough estimate instead of a real plan.
At GEM, we take a different approach.
Every project begins with a structured design and planning phase. This allows you to fully understand your project before construction ever starts.
What This Means for You
Before any work begins, we help you define:
- The layout that works best for your space
- The materials and finishes that fit your vision
- The full scope of work required
- A realistic investment range based on real decisions
When needed, we also provide 3D renderings and walkthroughs so you can visualize the space before committing to construction.
Why This Matters
Starting with design eliminates the common issues that come with traditional remodeling:
- No guessing on layout or materials
- No major changes mid-project
- Fewer delays and unexpected costs
- A smoother, more controlled build process
You are making informed decisions upfront instead of reacting during construction.
A More Professional Approach
We do not provide rough, free estimates based on limited information.
We build a clear plan first, then move into construction with confidence.
This is how we maintain a high level of quality, deliver consistent results, and stand behind our work.
Our Process
- Initial call to understand your project
- Budget alignment to ensure we are a good fit
- Design and planning phase
- Construction based on a fully developed plan
Start With a Plan
If you are serious about remodeling your home and want it done right the first time, the next step is to begin the design and planning process.
Investment Ranges
Bathroom Remodeling
Most bathroom projects start around $25,000 and can exceed $60,000+ depending on layout changes, tile work, and finish level.
Projects with custom showers, tile, and higher-end fixtures will fall toward the upper end of that range.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen projects typically range from $50,000 to $150,000+.
Final investment depends on cabinet quality, layout changes, appliances, and overall finish level.
Well-designed kitchens with custom elements and structural changes will be at the higher end.
Basement Finishing
Basement projects generally start around $40,000 and can exceed $100,000+ depending on size, layout, bathrooms, and additional living spaces.
Adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or full living areas increases overall investment.
In-Law Suites / Multi-Generational Spaces
In-law suites typically start around $75,000 and can exceed $200,000+ depending on scope.
Projects that include kitchens, bathrooms, separate entrances, and full living spaces require more detailed planning and investment.
Whole Home Remodeling
Whole home projects vary significantly but typically start around $150,000+ and increase based on size, structural changes, and finish level.
These projects require a full design and planning phase before construction.

These ranges are based on real projects and are meant to give you a realistic starting point before design and planning begins.
Final pricing is developed after layout, materials, and scope are fully defined.
