Our Services

Project Consultations 

Let us help you create a plan! This includes step by step task and materials lists along with hands on instruction to get your projects completed.

Contractor Handoffs

We can assist with the design and create everything you need to hand off to a general contractor to make your dreams a reality.  

Right Tools for the Job

The right tools can make or break a project. We’ll show you which tools to use and how to use them. Don’t have the right tool? Use ours to finish out your project.

How It Works 

    • You submit the Project Interest form through the “Get Started” button — we review it, and schedule a call.

    • On the call, we clarify your project goals and job scope to allow us to create a rough quote along with the materials lists.

    • We send over the contract and any necessary waivers to get things moving.

    • On the scheduled start day, we walk you through the tools and tasks with a live demo and how-to session.

    • You get hands-on! Test everything we’ve gone over and begin your project with our guidance.

    • We’ll assign a bit of “homework” to keep things progressing.

    • We do a quick site check to confirm everything is on track.

    • Need more help? We’ll demo additional tools or tasks.
      (We’ll also flag any extra materials you might need.)

    • Extra Q&A or demo time is available — just ask!

    • Additional homework assignments, if needed. (Dependent on project type)

    • We revisit the site after each homework round to make sure the project is running smoothly.

    • Together, we review everything to make sure all tasks are completed.

    • Time to celebrate! You completed your project!

    • We’ll follow up with a quick call, a feedback survey, and a referral request.

BuildYourSelf made it so easy for me to bring my vision to life. Sarah is so knowledgeable and supportive. She made suggestions to make the project successful, while also being sensitive to my design preferences and style. Our space is finally starting to feel like “home” thanks to her help!
