Our Process: What to Expect When You Work With Get It Rite Construction

Hiring a contractor shouldn’t feel like a leap of faith. At Get It Rite Construction LLC, we’ve refined a step-by-step process that keeps you informed, in control, and confident from your first phone call to the final walkthrough. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, a bathroom renovation, a basement finishing project, or any of our other remodeling and construction services, the process below is how we work on every project, for every homeowner in Zimmerman, Elk River, Anoka, and the surrounding Minnesota communities.

What Happens After You Request a Free Estimate

Wondering what happens once you fill out our contact form or give us a call? Here’s exactly how the process works, so there are no surprises:

We review your request and reach out. After you submit the form on our Contact page, Jerry or a member of our team contacts you, typically within one business day, to talk through your project goals, budget, and timing.
We schedule a free in-home consultation. We visit your home to take measurements, assess the space, and discuss layout options, materials, and any structural, plumbing, or electrical considerations.
You receive a detailed written estimate. We put together a clear, itemized quote covering labor, materials, and timeline. No vague ballpark numbers, and no obligation to move forward.
We plan your project together. Once you approve the estimate, we finalize designs and material selections, handle any required building permits with your city, and lock in your start date.
We build, and keep you informed. Throughout construction, we maintain open communication on progress and material deliveries, and we finish with a final walkthrough to make sure every detail is done right.

Your Free In-Home Consultation

The consultation is where your project starts taking shape. We walk the space with you, take accurate measurements, and look at the things photos can’t show such as the condition of what’s behind the walls, moisture concerns in bathrooms and basements, and how plumbing, electrical, and structural elements affect what’s possible. Just as importantly, we listen to how you use the space today, what frustrates you about it, and what you want it to become. There’s no charge and no sales pressure. The goal is simply to understand your project well enough to price it accurately.

Your Detailed Written Estimate

Within a few days of your consultation, you’ll receive an itemized written quote, not a single vague number. It breaks down labor, materials, and a realistic timeline so you can see exactly where every dollar goes, compare options with confidence, and make an informed decision. You’re free to take your time, ask questions, or get other bids. The estimate is free and carries no obligation.

Planning, Permits, and Scheduling

Once you approve your estimate, we move into planning. We finalize the design details and material selections together, ordering materials early enough that lead times don’t delay your start date. If your project requires permits such as for structural changes, plumbing, electrical, or egress windows, we prepare the documentation, submit the applications to your city’s building department, and schedule every required inspection. As a licensed Minnesota residential building contractor (License #BC638794), permitting is part of how we work, not an extra burden on you.

Construction: Clean, Communicative, and On Schedule

During the build, we treat your home with the same care we’d give our own. We protect surrounding areas with dust barriers, keep the worksite orderly, and clean up at the end of each day. You’ll always know what’s happening next: Jerry keeps you updated on progress, material deliveries, and inspection dates, so there are no surprises mid-project. Our clients consistently mention our communication in their reviews. It’s a point of pride, and it’s why so many of our projects come from repeat customers and referrals.

The Final Walkthrough

We don’t consider a project finished when the last tool is packed up. We consider it finished when you say it is. Together we walk the completed space, inspect every detail, and address anything that isn’t exactly right before we call it done. It’s the last step in making sure your project lives up to our name.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Process

How soon can my project start after I approve the estimate?

It depends on the season and our current schedule. Popular seasons book up in advance, so earlier conversations mean more flexibility. Once you approve your estimate, we lock in a start date during the planning phase and order materials early so lead times don’t cause delays. Contact us early, even if your project is months away.

Do I need plans or designs before contacting you?

No. Many homeowners come to us with nothing more than an idea and a few inspiration photos. During your consultation we help you develop the layout, select materials, and turn that idea into a concrete plan. Design guidance is part of our process, not something you need to bring.

Who will be my point of contact during the project?

Jerry, our owner, stays personally involved in every project and is your main point of contact from the first call through the final walkthrough. You won’t be handed off between departments. You’ll always know exactly who to reach, and you’ll get straight answers.

What if I want to make changes mid-project?

It happens, and we plan for it. If you’d like to change materials or scope once work is underway, we’ll discuss the options with you, put the cost and schedule impact in writing, and get your approval before proceeding so your budget never changes without your say-so.

Will my home be protected during construction?

Yes. We isolate the work area with dust barriers, protect floors and pathways, and clean up at the end of each workday. Most of our clients live at home comfortably throughout their remodel. We sequence the work to keep disruption to a minimum.
