Clarity from Start to Finish

At Encompass Contracting, we believe a well-defined process is the foundation of a successful remodel. From your first call to the final walk-through, our team guides you with transparency, professionalism, and clear communication. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel in Athens, a bathroom upgrade in Watkinsville, or a basement finish in Bishop, our process ensures there are no surprises—just great results built with care and craftsmanship.

THE ENCOMPASS DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS

01

Initial Consultation

It all begins with a conversation. We’ll meet with you at your home to discuss your goals, take measurements, and learn about your vision. This is your chance to ask questions, explore possibilities, and get expert insight into what the project will involve. Our goal is to build trust and set a clear foundation for the work ahead.
02

Detailed Estimate

After reviewing your project needs, we provide a clear estimate that outlines the investment required. We don’t just hand you numbers—we explain the why behind our recommendations so you understand the value of the materials and methods we use. This step ensures you have the information you need to make confident decisions.
03

Agreement & Deposit

Once the estimate feels right, you’ll sign off and provide a deposit to reserve your place on our schedule. This commitment allows us to begin securing your project timeline and preparing for design and selections. You’ll know exactly what’s included so there are no surprises later.
04

Design & Selections

If your remodel requires design, we’ll connect you with trusted designers or cabinet specialists to develop detailed renderings and layouts. From cabinetry and countertops to fixtures and finishes, we’ll guide you through the selections process step by step. Every choice is made with your lifestyle, budget, and long-term satisfaction in mind.
05

Scheduling & Pre-Construction

With selections finalized and materials ordered, we’ll coordinate lead times and establish your project start date. Using BuilderTrend, our project management software, you’ll have access to a client portal where you can track progress, review updates, and communicate with us easily.
06

Construction

Our team gets to work bringing your vision to life. From demolition to the final touches, we manage every detail to ensure quality craftsmanship and efficient progress. You'll have access to BuilderTrend, our project management software, to track progress and communicate easily. You’ll always know what’s happening on your project, and we’ll address questions promptly so you feel informed and confident throughout.
 

What is BuilderTrend? 

BuilderTrend is a project management platform that keeps all your schedules, selections, documents, and communications in one place so you can track your remodel in real time and feel confident every step of the way.

07

Project Completion

At the end of construction, we’ll walk through the finished space with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. Our goal is not just a completed remodel, but a home improvement you’ll love for years to come. We finish every project the same way we started—face to face, with honesty, accountability, and a handshake.

Kitchen Remodel

Bathroom remodel with double sink vanity and marble countertop by Encompass Contracting in Athens, GA

What Our Clients Think

"We are so pleased with our new master bathroom!! Jamie was such an easy person to work with. His attention to detail and desire for everything to be “right” and to our satisfaction gave us a great sense of confidence that we would be pleased in the end. His reasonable bid for the job in the beginning is what led us to give him the job, but the end result is what ultimately sold us! If you’re in the market for any type of remo for your home, you need look no further. This is your company and your contractor!"

Home Remodel

Full exterior home remodel with new siding and roof by Encompass Contracting in Athens, GA

What Our Clients Think

"Encompass Contracting was recommended to us by a repeat customer. We were looking for someone to replace siding/rotting frames, paint our house and also put up gutters. Jamie and his crew were professional and courteous. Angel has attention to detail and clearly takes pride in his work. We are so pleased with how our house turned out; I’m over here wondering why we didn’t call sooner! We will definitely recommend Encompass Contracting to anyone looking for work to be completed at their home!"
