A Ronevexa job runs on five fixed stages, and none of them get skipped to save a week.

Walk-through, written scope, materials ordered, work, sign-off. That order doesn't change for a rushed homeowner or a slow one, whether it's a kitchen remodel, a small addition or a flooring job — the sequence is what keeps a renovation crew in Austin from guessing its way through your house.

Why the order matters more than the schedule

A homeowner calling a renovation crew usually wants a date. We give dates, but we give them after the scope is written, not before — a date set on a phone call before anyone has measured the room is a guess dressed up as a promise. The five stages below are what actually happens between your first call and the day we shake hands and call it done.

Walk-through

Someone from the crew comes to the house, not a salesperson working a script. We measure the room, ask what's actually bothering you about it, and look for the things a phone call can't surface — a soft spot in a subfloor, water staining under a sink, a wall that might be load-bearing. This visit usually runs thirty to sixty minutes depending on the job.

We also ask what you're not willing to compromise on and what you'd trade off if the budget got tight. That answer shapes the scope more than any material catalogue does.

What you getMeasurements on paper and a plain-language read on anything that might complicate the job, before we've priced a thing.

Written scope

We measure twice, cut once, and write it down before anyone touches drywall. The scope lists the rooms, the materials, what's included, what isn't, and which parts of the job — if any — go to a licensed electrician or plumber instead of us. It's a document you keep, not a verbal promise you have to remember correctly three weeks later.

This is also where the price basis from the relevant trade page turns into an actual number for your job — square footage, linear footage or task count times the tier you picked, confirmed against what we measured on the walk-through.

What you getA written scope and materials list, with named exclusions where a different trade is required, before any deposit changes hands.

Materials ordered

Cabinets, tile, decking, flooring — whatever the job calls for gets ordered against the signed scope, not before. This is the stage most homeowners underestimate for time. A kitchen tear-out runs twelve to eighteen working days once cabinets are on order, not sooner, no matter what the showroom promises on the sales floor. Custom cabinet runs and specialty tile can push lead time further, and we tell you that number as soon as we know it, not the week it was supposed to arrive.

We don't tear out a working kitchen or bathroom and then wait on a truck. Demo starts once material is confirmed on site or has a firm delivery date we trust.

What you getA confirmed material order and a lead-time number specific to what you picked, not a generic estimate.

Work

This is the stage that actually looks like construction — framing, tile, trim, paint, whatever the scope calls for, done in the sequence a trade actually requires rather than whatever order looks fastest on paper. If a wall comes down and it turns out to be load-bearing, work stops until there's an engineered plan, not a guess. That's a real pause, sometimes a few days, and it protects the house more than it costs you in schedule.

You'll see dust, hear saws, and find offcuts in a pile by the door most days. We keep a job site reasonably contained but we don't pretend a working renovation is quiet or clean while it's happening.

What you getDaily progress you can see, and a heads-up the same day if something in the walls changes the plan.

Sign-off

We walk the finished room with you against the original written scope, item by item. Anything that doesn't match gets fixed before we call the job closed, not after. This is also when the workmanship guarantee window starts and when we point out anything you should know about upkeep — a composite deck that needs nothing, a stained pine one that will in a couple of years.

Sign-off isn't a formality we rush through to get to the next job. It's the point where the scope document from stage two either matches what's in front of you or it doesn't, and we'd rather find that out with you standing there than in a phone call a month later.

What you getA room checked against its own scope, and the start date of the workmanship guarantee in writing.

Where a job hands off to someone else

We don't touch gas lines or main electrical panels. We bring in the trade licensed for it and put their name on the estimate — you're not signing a contract with a subcontractor you've never met and no way to reach. Structural work past a wall demo also stops for a stamped engineered plan rather than a field guess, and permits get pulled where the job requires one, as part of the scope, not an afterthought discovered mid-build.
