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.

Testimonials
“Maggie helped us fix nail pops in our wall. She provided easy to follow instructions and demonstrated what to do. She was encouraging and made a seemingly hard DIY task much easier & fun!
Thank you Maggie.”
“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! ”
“Maggie happily called me on the weekend to help trouble shoot the nailer gun I was borrowing. She ended up coming by next week to really show me how to do it, and we finished securing my trim together. She also help me determine some trim solutions in a really tight and tricky corner! I highly recommend their help. Especially when you don’t have the patience for YouTube videos”
