You know your home isn’t quite working for you anymore. Maybe the kitchen feels cramped. The layout doesn’t flow. Or the finishes are looking tired.
Or maybe your fridge broke—but replacing it means modifying cabinets, which turns into a domino effect of decisions. So instead, you’ve been limping along with small repairs, knowing a full remodel is inevitable… just not sure when or how to start.
You’re not alone. One of the most common things we hear from homeowners is:
“I don’t even know where to start.”
At Oak + Arrow, we guide you through the process—from the very beginning—so you’re never left trying to figure it out alone. We start by understanding your why.
What’s Your Biggest Why?
When we begin working with you, one of the first questions we’ll ask is:
“Why are we doing this remodel?”
This is a foundational part of our process. We ask it in our very first questionnaire and continue to revisit it throughout your project. Your why becomes our North Star, shaping every decision we make together.
Maybe your family is growing and your home needs to grow with you.
Maybe you dream of a space made for entertaining—or aging in place with comfort.
Maybe you’re just ready for a fresh start.
Whatever your reason, we’ll uncover it together. And we’ll keep it at the center of everything we do.
We Define Priorities Together
As part of our Meet + Measure process, we walk through your space with you—virtually and in-person—and talk about what’s working, what’s not, and where you’d love to go. You don’t need a fully formed plan. We’ll bring the questions, creativity, and clarity to help you define what matters most.
We’ll explore:
- What day-to-day challenges your home is creating
- What spaces hold the most opportunity for transformation
- Whether it makes sense to rework the layout, go up a level, or expand out
We call this phase the WISHLIST + WALK—because we’re dreaming big while staying grounded in your reality.
At our Meet + Measure, we’ll gather everything that’s on your mind and shape it into something tangible.
Your Concept Plan: The Heart of Our Process
With the insights from our walkthrough and conversations, we’ll pull your priorities, pain points, and ideas together into a custom Concept Plan.
This includes:
- A detailed 3D floor plan so you can envision how everything will come together
- Multiple layout options, including one based on your ideas and one that brings a new, creative perspective
- Realistic pricing guidance to help you align your dreams with your investment
- Inspiration boards to visualize materials, finishes, and the feel of your future home
We offer this service for a reasonable flat fee, giving you space to explore your options without committing to a full design-build project just yet. It’s the clarity you need to decide what direction is best—before making a big financial commitment.
Often, we land somewhere between your original ideas and a fresh approach you hadn’t imagined. That sweet spot is where vision and function come together.
