At Barter Home Projects, we specialize in the crucial step between a great idea and a finished space. Whether you need formal set of drawings for permitting, clever storage solutions, or a professional sounding board before you start a renovation, we offer a practical, craftsman-led approach.

1. Conceptual Design & Addition Layouts

Best for: Homeowners planning an addition, porch, detached garage, or large remodeling project.

• What you get: A comprehensive initial site consultation, detailed spatial planning, and a set of clean, conceptual design layouts or permit-ready drawings.

• The Timeline: Typically, 2 to 3 weeks from our initial consultation to delivery of the final sketches and layouts.

• Rate: Flat project-based fee (provided after initial site visit).

2. Custom Storage & Built-In Planning

Best for: Maximizing tricky or underutilized spaces, mudrooms, workshops, pantry storage, and specialized built-in shelving.

• What you get: A hands-on measurement session, 2D layout options tailored specifically to your storage needs, and a practical guide on materials and structural execution.

• The Timeline: Typically, 1 week. Map the space, design the layout, and hand off the execution plan to you or your carpenter.

• Rate: Hourly or fixed-rate package depending on the room size.

3. Professional Consultations & "Second Opinions"

Best for: Homeowners who want to renovate but don't know where to start, or those who want an expert to review contractor quotes and structural layouts.

• What you get: A 2-hour on-site visit where we walk through your space, brainstorm architectural possibilities, address structural questions, and sketch out rough ideas on the spot.

• The Timeline: Immediate. You get professional clarity, creative problem-solving, and actionable advice by the end of our meeting.

• Rate: $75 to $100 per hour (2-hour minimum).
