What we do
Design, permits, construction and finish carpentry are all in house, so one company answers for the whole job.







Why Ashgrove
They are written into the contract, not only onto this page.
The people who design your project are the people who build it. There is no handoff between an architect and a contractor, and nobody else to point at.
You get the full price and a line by line scope before any work begins. It changes only if you change the plan.
One named person runs your job, is at your house every working day, and answers your messages the same day.
We come back at eleven months for a full walk through, and for five years we fix anything we built that fails.

They gave us one price in March and that was the price in August. The only change was the one we asked for.

Thank you, Maya. Enjoy the kitchen, and we will see you at the eleven month walk through.
Luis was at our house every morning by 7:30 and sent a photo update every afternoon. We never had to chase anyone.

We lived in the back half of the house for five months. They sealed it off, kept it clean and finished two days early.

Elena, living through a whole home remodel is hard, and you made it easy for the crew. Thank you.
When they opened the wall they found old wiring nobody expected. They showed us photos the same day, explained the options and the cost, and let us decide.

Where we work
Most of our work is inside the city. We also build in the towns around it, out to about 25 miles.
Questions
Short answers. If yours is not here, call or write and you will have a reply the same business day.
Most of our kitchens cost between $75,000 and $165,000. Keeping the layout sits at the low end. Moving walls or plumbing, custom cabinets and stone slabs move it up. The budget builder on this page gives you a range for your own kitchen in about a minute.
Design and pricing take 4 to 8 weeks. Building takes 6 to 18 weeks on site: about 6 to 8 weeks for a kitchen that keeps its layout, longer when walls move or the whole house is involved. You get the calendar before we start.
Usually yes, for a kitchen or a bath. We seal off the work area, set up a temporary kitchen and clean up every day. For a whole home taken back to the frame, plan to move out while we build.
Yes. We draw the plans, file for the permits with the city and meet the inspectors. The cost of permits is part of your fixed price.
One project lead runs your job and is on site every working day. The carpenters are our own employees. Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades we have worked with for years.
We stop, photograph it and show you the same day, with the options and the cost of each. In houses built before 1970 we put an allowance for this in the price up front. If we do not need it, you do not pay it.
