Process
A project is a system. Ours has a name.
The Gulf & Key Method is how we keep a remodel from becoming a sequence of reactions. It is not a slogan. It is the order of operations.
The Gulf & Key Method
We sell the confidence of getting there.
01
Discover
We walk the property, hear what you actually want, and name the constraints — HOA, flood, occupancy, opening date — before anyone talks about tile.
02
Define
A written scope. What is in, what is out, what cannot be known until walls open. This is the document we will argue with later, not a memory of a meeting.
03
Design
Layout, millwork, finishes, and lighting as one language. Roxana directs interiors and materials so the rooms belong to the house, not to a showroom.
04
Price
Numbers attached to the scope, with allowances you can read. Changes described, priced, and approved in writing before the work moves.
05
Build
A protected jobsite, sequenced trades, and a named person running the day. You get a weekly written update covering progress, decisions, and budget movement.
06
Steward
Closeout, walkthrough, documentation. If the house needs a keeper after we leave, Gulf & Key Estate Management is the sister company built for that.
What you can hold us to
- A written scope before construction.
- An allowance schedule you can read.
- Changes described, priced, and approved in writing before the work moves.
- A weekly written update: progress, upcoming decisions, budget movement, items needing you.
- A named person running the job, and notice if that person changes.
- A closeout that includes walkthrough and documentation — and, if useful, a handoff to Estate Management.
Next step
Start with a Project Review, not a dumpster.
Tell us about the property and the work. We will tell you whether we are the right contractor — and what the first honest next step is.
