Open Concept Home Renovation: A Seamless Experience with Sosna Testimonial Video

we had been thinking about removing a wall and doing a little bit of renovation and I talked to a friend at Basketball I play with and uh he had just finished a renovation and it had finished early and that sort of was surprising because most people we’ve talked to have had trouble and so um he recommended uh Sosna [Music] and he had used them twice and he was very happy with them both times we talked to neighbors that have had renovations and asked for recommendations and um none of them would give us the contractor they said they would not recommend them after having used them so um really Sosna
was the one we went with we checked the reviews on Houzz and talked to my friend and we decided to go with them we thought that the ads on the internet we’re very convincing because it was about how the budget was going to stay on budget how it was going to be done on before the schedule and how they cleaned up every day I mean who wouldn’t love that I would say that Sosna exceeded our expectations um the design process was was actually quite fun and we learned a lot and but the guidance the designer gave us was uh very helpful and liked how the
products were presented to us within our budget so that we didn’t have to worry about whether we were going to go over budget or not and also the suggestions we started out wanting to eliminate one wall and we ended up eliminating three walls and it looks like a feels like a totally different house when you walk in the door [Music]

A Trusted Recommendation Leads to Sosna Inc.

When our clients began considering a renovation to remove a wall in their home, they turned to friends and neighbors for advice. One friend, who had recently completed a renovation ahead of schedule, highly recommended Sosna, and after hearing positive reviews and conducting their own research, the clients decided to move forward with us. The assurance that Sosna would deliver the project on time, within budget, and with a clean worksite every day was a significant factor in their decision.

An Enjoyable Design Process

What began as a plan to remove just one wall quickly evolved into a more extensive renovation. The clients found the design process both fun and educational. The designer’s ability to present options within their budget and provide insightful suggestions led to the decision to eliminate three walls, resulting in a dramatic change to the home’s layout. The clients appreciated the personalized attention and the thoughtful recommendations that allowed them to envision and achieve their ideal open-concept space.

A Stunning Open Concept Home

The completed renovation exceeded the clients’ expectations, transforming their home into a spacious, open-concept living area that feels entirely different from when they started. The new design not only met their practical needs but also brought a fresh, modern feel to the space. The clients were delighted with the results and the seamless process that Sosna provided, making the renovation experience a positive one from start to finish.

We want you to feel that same joy and pride in your home now and for years to come.

Quote

Estimating renovation projects inherently involves some guesswork, but we take steps to minimize it as much as possible. Here’s how:

Crystal-clear Design Drawings: Our meticulous drawings go beyond basic sketches and floor plans. They include precise measurements, elevations, sections, and details with specifications for materials and finishes and clear layouts for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. This level of detail allows us to calculate material quantities and labor hours more accurately.

Upfront Material & Fixture Selection: We work with you to select all materials and fixtures – tiles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, accessories down to the door knobs on your cabinetry – before finalizing the quote. This eliminates the need to estimate costs based on allowances, reducing the potential for surprises later.

Thorough Inspections: Before finalizing the quote, we thoroughly inspect your home’s structure, plumbing and HVAC systems, and electrical wiring. This uncovers potential unseen issues that could impact the project scope, cost, and design. By identifying these issues upfront, we can factor them into the quote, avoiding unexpected cost overruns during construction.

Only after we complete all the above-mentioned steps do we provide a fixed-price quote that we guarantee will not change during construction.

Design

It all starts with a simple, no-pressure conversation – a phone call or Zoom chat. We believe in finding the right fit for both of us. Not every project or homeowner is the right fit for every contractor, and not every house is feasible to renovate. We want to quickly understand your vision, budget, and priorities, and see if we can add value to your project. If not, we’ll happily refer you to a company that might be a better match. If it seems like a good fit, we’ll schedule a free in-home consultation to discuss your project in more detail. This is our opportunity to exchange ideas, share our expertise, and offer honest advice on how best to bring your vision to life.

Consult

As the saying goes, “An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.”  We take this philosophy to heart at Sosna. Our designers and construction experts collaborate and work closely with you to create highly detailed plans and renderings, leaving no detail to chance.  We meticulously consider every element of your project, from layout and materials to lighting and fixtures. 

Our designers educate you on the pros and cons of every element or fixture, helping you make the right decisions.

This upfront investment in planning ensures a smooth and seamless renovation experience, free of surprises and last-minute changes.
