Why a Paid Consultation Saves Money
Most costly home decisions are not made because someone chose the wrong contractor. They are made because a homeowner did not have enough context to ask the right question. A bid gets approved because it looks thorough. A repair gets deferred because nobody explained what happens if it waits. A remodel scope grows because the sequence was wrong from the start. Forty-five minutes with someone who builds for a living, before any money moves, routinely changes the shape of a project by thousands of dollars.
The $49 fee exists to keep the conversation honest and unhurried. We are not selling you into work during it, and if you do book services with Viada afterward, the fee is applied to that work, so the guidance effectively costs nothing.
What We Cover in 45 Minutes
Bring whatever you have. Common sessions include reading through an inspection report line by line and separating true defects from boilerplate, comparing two contractor estimates that are $12,000 apart to understand what is actually different, scoping a kitchen or bathroom remodel and what it realistically costs in the Seattle market, deciding whether a roof, furnace, or sewer line is a this-year or a five-year problem, and building a maintenance calendar and reserve budget for a house you just bought.
We can also talk through permitting and when it is required, how to sequence work so trades do not undo each other, what to expect from a remodel timeline, and how to prepare a home before it goes on the market. If your question is outside our lane, we will say so and point you to the right specialist rather than guess.
How to Prepare and What Happens Next
Upload inspection reports, contractor quotes, and photos with your intake form. Photos of the actual condition, the panel, the crawl space, or the area in question make the session far more productive than a description alone. Write down your top three questions in priority order so we work through what matters most first.
Consultations run by video call, phone, or in person in the greater Seattle area. Full payment confirms the appointment; you then choose an available time from the scheduling calendar and receive a confirmation with a calendar invitation. Afterward you will know what is urgent, what is seasonal, what is optional, and roughly what each item costs. If you want Viada to carry out any of the work, we can move straight into a scoped quote and your consultation fee is credited toward it.
