The Steward Projects
Bigger jobs.
Same standard.
From a quoted handyman job to a full renovation. We assess and handle to completion.
What It Is
Some jobs just need a proper quote.
The bathroom caulking that needs redoing properly. The deck that needs a coat before summer. A fresh coat of paint in the living room; new color, new feeling. A bathroom that has not been touched since 1998. A house that needs to be ready before the truck arrives.
Not urgent enough to lose sleep over. Too big to squeeze into a Steward Maintenance visit.
We assess it, quote it, and handle it. You do not need to take time off work. We open the door. We are there when you cannot be.
Every job quoted on its own terms. No fixed menus. No surprises.
How It Works
Three steps. No surprises.
01
Assess
We come and look properly. No work.
No charge for Steward subscribers.
Non-subscribers pay $250, credited toward your job.
02
Quote
Written quote within 48 hours.
Scope, timeline, cost, and which of the two arrangements applies.
Nothing hidden.
03
Approve
You say yes.
We start.
Scope changes mean a new quote first.
Always.
Two ways a Project runs
It depends on one thing:
Who chooses the trades?
01
General Contracting
We choose the trades. You get one price.
We contract them ourselves. They invoice us. You receive a single quoted figure, fixed on approval, and our margin sits inside it.
We are responsible for finishing the job and for the workmanship of everyone we bring. Right for work we scope ourselves; an interior repaint, a deck, a bathroom remodel, a house before you move in.
02
Project Management
You choose the trades. You see every price.
Your trades contract with you and invoice you directly, at their own rates. Every quotation reaches you exactly as they wrote it.
We charge a separate fee for managing the job, agreed in writing before anything starts.
Each trade is responsible for their own work. We are responsible for running it properly. Right when a designer or architect has already chosen the team, or when you have people you trust.
Which one applies is written on the front of your quotation. You will never have to ask.
Use Cases
Moving to Summit?
Still in the city while your new home needs attention. Locks, paint, fixtures, maybe a bathroom. Could be two days. Could be a month. You do not know yet, and that is fine.
We assess it properly, quote it honestly, and handle it. We open the door in the morning. You get a photo report at the end of each day. You do not need to be there once.
Most new Summit homeowners become Steward Subscribers. By the time the job is done, we know their home completely.
Working with a designer or architect?
The design is settled. The trades are chosen. What is missing is someone at the house every day.
Your contractors invoice you directly at their own rates, and every quotation reaches you exactly as it was written. We hold the schedule, meet each trade at the door, review the work, and send you a report each week.
Your designer designs. We make sure the days run.
Getting ready to sell?
Outlets updated. Locks replaced. Smoke alarms current. Touch-up paint. The door that sticks. Thirty small things that matter to an inspector and to a buyer.
We assess the full scope, quote every item, and handle it.
If you have you been a Steward Subscriber for years, most of it is already done. And you have something better than a punch list. Every system serviced, every repair photographed, every install date recorded. A buyer's inspector has very little left to find.
The range is wide. The process is always the same.
Almost any renovation can run either way; as General Contracting, where we choose the trades and you get one price, or as Project Management, where you already have people and we run the job. Which one suits is part of the conversation, not something you have to decide before you call.

-
No. Steward Projects is open to any Summit homeowner. Contact us through the website, describe the job, and we will arrange an assessment. If you are already a subscriber, the conversation usually starts during a regular visit — we notice it, document it, and bring it to you when the time is right.
-
On General Contracting, one quoted figure, fixed on approval. Our margin sits inside it, and the quotation says so.
On Project Management, your trades invoice you directly at their own rates and we charge a separate fee for running the job — a fixed sum agreed in writing before anything starts, never a percentage. Reduced for Steward Estate subscribers.
Materials at cost plus 15%, itemised. No referral fees, in either direction.
-
No. We open up in the morning, oversee everything throughout the day, and send you a photo report before the day is out. If you already have trades of your own, that is a Project Management job — we receive them, oversee the work, and handle everything else on your list at the same time.
-
Yes. Approve the quote before you leave and we manage it while you are gone — you come home to a finished job.
If we find something while you are away, we tell you, quote it, and you decide from wherever you are. You get a full report before you return either way.
-
A new written quote comes first. Always. Work does not continue beyond the approved scope until you have signed off on the change. No exceptions.
-
Usually 30 to 60 minutes depending on scope. We photograph everything, and if a trade needs to see it before we can price it properly, we bring them. Nothing to decide on the day.
-
Nothing if you are a Steward subscriber. We are already in your home — assessing what needs attention is part of what we do.
Not a subscriber? The assessment is $250 — credited in full toward any approved job over $2,000, and waived entirely if you start a subscription within 30 days.
Either way, no work starts and nothing is charged beyond the assessment until you have approved a written quote.
