How We Work: The Tellico Woodworks Process

Every project begins with a conversation & the consultation is free!

You can reach out by phone or email to discuss your goals & assess the space to provide initial feedback & collect info to properly price your project:

We’ll ask a few questions to better understand your project:

• What are you hoping to build?
• Where will it be installed?
• What style or function are you looking for?
• Do you have measurements & photos of your space?
• Do you have inspiration photos?
  

If necessary, we’ll schedule a site visit to take detailed measurements and review the space firsthand if not able to do it over the phone.

This step helps us:

• Better Understand your layout and room flow
• Identify any obstacles
• Match existing finishes, colors, or materials

If you’re working with a builder, contractor, or designer, we can coordinate directly with them during this stage. Large projects like complete custom home interiors will take multiple design meetings or plans from your architect or designer to see what spaces are being built for Cabinetry & Finish Carpentry.

Once we’ve gathered details, we’ll sketch or render a custom design — tailored to your

exact specifications, so we can show you we understand what you want! Every Tellico

Woodworks project is built from scratch, so this is where your ideas truly begin to take

shape.

You’ll be able to review:

• Cabinet or millwork layout
• Material selections (wood types, interior & exterior)
• Finish options
• Functional elements (drawers, pull-outs, shelving, access)
• Decorative accents or trim profiles

We’ll revise the design as needed until it fits both your space and your vision.

After finalizing the design, we provide a clear quote and estimated timeline. Our proposals include:

• Clearly descriptive line items so you can see what is driving the cost for budget purposes.
• Separation of projects or rooms with subtotals.
• Payment section that will show you the cashflow we need through the duration of the project.
• What’s included and if it's not listed, it's not included.
• We can add and remove according to your budget.

We are transparent about costs, schedules, and expectations so there are no surprises later. We will estimate the approximate time we need to complete the project & let you know when we can start based on our current project schedule.

Once Proposal is approved; deposit collected to secure your start time we will move forward with final scaled drawings for your approval.

These scaled drawings will consist of everything to ensure you are getting what you wanted:

• 3D Proportionate views of what we propose to build for you Important measurements.
  
• Detailed notes showing Moulding profiles & cabinet door styles.
  

Once your pieces are complete, we schedule the delivery and installation. We work efficiently and carefully to minimize disruption in your home or business.



Installation includes:

• Professional fitting and adjustment
• Seamless integration with existing architecture
• Clean-up and walkthrough of completed work
• Final client sign-off

We treat your space with the same respect we give to our craft

After the installation, we’re still here if you have questions, need adjustments, or want to plan a future project. Most of our work comes through referrals — so we make sure you’re thrilled with the final result.



We take pride in building long-term relationships, not just woodwork.
