A home consultation with The Home Chaperone is like having a trusted partner to guide you in turning your dream home into a reality. We'll carefully assess your house plans and provide expert suggestions to enhance your project, ultimately saving you both time and money. Imagine it as the moment the confetti cannon goes off and your Pinterest boards come to life!

Scheduling a consultation is a breeze! Just pick the house size that suits you and use our user-friendly online calendar to select a date and time that works best for your schedule.

We get it; life can be hectic. If you can't find a slot that fits your schedule, no worries! Simply book for the week you prefer, and let us know you'd like to adjust the time. We're a small business, and we're here to accommodate your needs.

During your consultation, Jess will meticulously review your house plans, engage in a discussion about your goals, and address any concerns you might have. We're all about providing tailored insights and recommendations for your specific project.

Our consultations are conducted online via Zoom, allowing us to share screens and even record the session if you wish.

Consultations generally last around 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of your project and the depth of discussion required. We recommend having a satisfying meal before the session and, if possible, arranging for childcare so you can make the most of our time together.

Absolutely! Following the consultation, we'll provide you with a comprehensive summary of our recommendations and suggestions. It will be a single, easy-to-understand document that you can pass on to your builder, ensuring clear communication.

No need to lose sleep over it! If anything keeps you up at night within 7 days after the consultation, reach out to us. We're here to provide the peace of mind you deserve. Plus, we'll provide marked-up plans and even allow you to record the session for reference.

Certainly! We can discuss a wide range of topics, including:

• Insider insights your builder might not reveal (not knowing could cost you thousands!)
• Maximizing value from your builder
• What you should know before signing up, including safeguards against budget overruns
• Stress reduction without breaking the bank
• What to expect at each stage of the process
• Recommended changes, tips, and tricks to elevate your design and prep for prestart
• Commonly overlooked details and mistakes that could save or cost you thousands (they're more common than you'd think!).

Timing is everything! To make the most of your consultation, we recommend booking at one of two key stages:

• Before committing to a builder: This allows us to address structural changes that can become costly if left unattended. Even a window's size or placement can lead to additional expenses if not addressed early.
• Before your prestart meeting: This is the perfect time to discuss aesthetic changes and functional design elements. Proper preparation can turn your prestart meeting into an enjoyable, stress-free experience.

Absolutely! We're so confident that we can save you thousands that we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with your consultation. Your peace of mind is our priority, and we stand by our expertise.
