Process rhythm

The project changes. The cadence stays the same.

Northern Limits keeps the path clear from first walkthrough through final cleanup: scope, materials, schedule, execution, and warranty handoff.

The 4 phases

From first walkthrough to final warranty handoff.

Every Northern Limits project runs through these four phases.

Phase 1

Quote conversation

What we look at, what you decide, what we recommend.

We walk through what is needed, what is in scope, and what we would do if it were our home.

  • 30-90 minute walkthrough
  • Plain-language explanation
  • Scope and material options
  • Written quote

Phase 2

Contract + planning

Scope confirmed in writing. Material selection. Schedule.

Once the project moves ahead, scope, materials, schedule, and payment milestones go in writing. Hidden conditions are discussed before added work.

  • Contract with scope
  • Material selections
  • Payment milestones
  • Start date

Phase 3

Project execution

Daily updates. On-site coordination. Cleanup at end of every day.

A Northern Limits lead is on-site for the work that decides whether the project holds up. Hidden conditions are discussed before added work.

  • Lead on-site
  • Daily updates
  • Daily cleanup
  • Hidden-condition discussion

Phase 4

Walkthrough + warranty

Final inspection together. Warranty handoff. Long-term availability.

We walk through together, fix needed adjustments, hand off warranties, and stay available after the project closes.

  • Final walkthrough
  • Punch-list closeout
  • Warranty handoff
  • Follow-up availability

Realistic timelines

How long Northern Limits projects actually take.

These are realistic ranges. Weather, hidden conditions, and material lead times can shift them.

Roofing replacement

1-3 days on-site

Most full roofs wrap in 2 days; steep or damaged decking takes longer.

Siding (full home)

1-2 weeks on-site

Depends on home size, material, trim, and bundled openings.

Deck build

1-2 weeks on-site

Footings, framing, decking, railing, and finish selections shape timing.

Window installation (full home)

2-5 days on-site

Count, complexity, and flashing detail shape timing.

Kitchen remodel

2-6 weeks

Scope drives the range. Specialty carpentry varies similarly.

What you prepare

The homeowner side.

  • Photos of the issue area (helps the quote conversation start with detail)
  • Material preferences if you have them (color, finish, brand)
  • Project timing constraints (events, seasons, scheduling)
  • Decisions about scope (single repair vs bundled exterior)

What we handle

Our side.

  • Material sourcing (we source through trusted local suppliers)
  • Permits when required (we handle pulling permits)
  • Sub-contractor coordination (when applicable; usually we're the full crew)
  • Code compliance + inspection coordination
