When you’re planning a home renovation, the team behind the project matters just as much as the design.
SemBro Design & Supply built its reputation in Cleveland as a top kitchen and bathroom remodeling specialist by doing things differently: using our own in-house renovation team for every project.
Instead of contractors who subcontract out different elements of your project, SemBro does everything in-house. This integrated method flips the renovation process upside down—from initial design concepts to the final walk-through. But what does that look like for your kitchen or bathroom renovation?
Let’s explore why it makes a difference and how it delivers a very distinct renovation experience.
Benefits of In-House Teams for Home Renovations
What makes an in-house renovation team superior to the traditional model of hiring various subcontractors? The advantages touch every aspect of your project:
Improved Quality Control
When every trade operates under one company banner, responsibility is elevated to an unprecedented level. The cabinetmaker can’t blame the plumber for the misalignments—we are all part of the same team. This promotes a culture of excellence being required at every stage.
Seamless Project Management
Your remodel follows a logical progression from one stage to another without the scheduling conflicts that beset most home remodeling projects. The crew coordinator is aware precisely when the demolition crew will be done and when the installation crew can start.
Consistent Communication
They answer questions promptly. The changes don’t get lost going from one company to the next. You have a single point of contact who is familiar with your project.
Faster Project Completion
Jobs also go more smoothly with crews that work together regularly. The electrical crew is familiar with how the cabinet crew works, removing the learning curve when subcontractors work together for the first time on your project.
Cost-Savings
While premium service can suggest premium prices, the efficiency of an in-house staff consistently generates cost savings. No markup is charged on subcontractor rates, and fewer mistakes mean fewer expensive fixes.
A kitchen remodel that would require 8-10 weeks with conventional contractors can generally be done in 6-7 weeks using SemBro’s coordinated system. Saved time translates to less impact on your lifestyle—a benefit difficult to put a price on but impossible to overlook.
The SemBro Advantage: In-House Expertise
SemBro’s quality commitment starts at the organizational level. With more than 50 in-house professionals, we have built a renovation powerhouse that provides quality results on hundreds of projects consistently.
Our track record speaks for itself: over 500 kitchens refurbished, each leveraging the collective experience of our team. This is not just about numbers—it is about quality and sophistication we undertake on a daily basis. SemBro has established a niche for itself in high-end and custom kitchen renovations, where accuracy and craftsmanship cannot be compromised.
Embedded within the heart of our design process are experienced interior designers with more than a decade of experience. Such experts are acquainted with aesthetic rules as well as operational efficiency. In designing your kitchen, we consider how you will move about the room, where you will need storage space, and how you can balance beauty and function.
The SemBro Process: From Design to Completion
SemBro’s streamlined process showcases the advantages of our in-house approach:
Initial Consultation and Design Phase
We start your process with an in-depth consultation during which designers hear your requirements, wants, and budget. With the help of professional design software, we make complete renderings which allow you to see your new space prior to investing in designs or materials.
Material Selection and Procurement
With direct access to quality materials and strong relationships with suppliers, SemBro assists you in choosing everything from cabinets to countertops. Our purchasing power frequently translates into reduced costs for quality materials.
Project Execution with In-House Team
When designs are finished, the same team that assisted in planning your project builds it. Demolition crews, plumbers, electricians, cabinetmakers, and finishers all work from the same comprehensive plans, with coordinated schedules to reduce downtime.
Quality Assurance and Final Walkthrough
Before a project is complete, SemBro holds rigorous quality inspections. The last walkthrough is no afterthought—a chance to guarantee that all of the details fulfill our high criteria and your requirements.
This streamlined process removes the typical remodeling headache of dealing with several different contractors with different schedules and different standards.
Customer Experience: What It Means for You
The real importance of our approach is what it means for your remodeling experience:
Personalized Attention
From start to finish, you work with professionals who understand your vision and have the skills to bring it to life. Your preferences aren’t lost in translation between different contractors.
You have professionals handling your project from beginning to end who get your vision and have the skills to make it happen. Your wishes don’t get lost in communication among contractors.
Less Stress
Home renovation is one of the most stressful experiences in life—but it doesn’t have to be. Having one company handle everything spares you the coordination headaches and finger-pointing that occur when things don’t go as planned.
Confidence in Workmanship
SemBro’s reputation is on the line with each project we submit. We believe in our work, as we’ll be held responsible for the outcome years after the project is completed.
Long-Term Support
With our extensive warranty, SemBro backs up what we do. When problems happen months or years down the line, you don’t need to hunt for a subcontractor who’s already moved on to the next thing. The Future of Home Renovations: In-House Teams Taking the Lead The residential renovation business is changing, and integrated service models are becoming more popular.
The National Association of Home Builders has researched that homeowners want to see renovation experiences with less points of contact become increasingly streamlined. SemBro remains at the forefront of this trend, continually investing in our people’s skills and expanding our capabilities. Our commitment to the in-house model is proof of a better understanding of what homeowners truly want: not just beautiful spaces but also stress-free experiences to achieve them.
