03
We schedule and manage it
One contract with Island Strong. We line up our crew and trade partners, book the permits and inspections the job needs, and keep you posted.
04
Final walkthrough
We walk the finished job with you and go through the deficiency list together before we call it done.
Step two, in detail
What goes in a Island Strong quote
A quote you can hold us to is a quote with the guesswork written down. Ours sets out:
- The scope, room by room or element by element.
- What is a fixed price and what is an allowance, with the allowance amount.
- What could change once walls, floors or roofing come off, and how that would be priced.
- Who does what: our crew, and which licensed trade partners.
- Which permits and inspections the job needs, and who pulls each one.
During the build
You talk to one person
Dezmond quotes the job and manages it. When a trade partner is on site, they are working for Island Strong, under our schedule and our standards.
- One contract with Island Strong, not one per trade.
- Changes are priced and agreed in writing before the work is done.
- Inspections are booked into the schedule so a trade is not waiting on one.
The kind of work
From first visit to walkthrough
Stock photos of the work we quote. Our own job photos replace them as projects finish.
Built for the coast
Built for the coast.
Coast weather finds every gap. Rain, wind-driven water, salt air and moss go to work on roofs, siding, decks and foundations, and a lot of houses here were built long before anyone talked about rainscreen walls.
So every job we quote starts with one question: where does the water go? Then we price the work to keep it out.
- Flashing and rainscreen details on siding, window and door work
- Perimeter drains and grading checked before a basement gets finished
- Deck framing protected, not just new boards on old joists
- Pre-1990 house: asbestos testing built into the schedule before demolition
