How Block Renovation Works

Plan, hire, and manage your project with confidence
1
Start visualizing your space in minutes
Use Renovation Studio, Block’s free renovation planner, to explore design options and get accurate cost estimates, all personalized to your room’s layout, style, and material preferences.

2
Connect to thoroughly vetted local contractors
Share a few details about your plans and we’ll connect you with curated contractors, each handpicked to match your project’s scope and style.
Block’s network of contractors undergoes rigorous vetting through a multi-step process including background checks, insurance verification, and homeowner references.

3
Get expert guidance from a dedicated Project Planner
Every Block homeowner is paired with a personal renovations expert who advises you through navigating proposals, timelines, and contractor selection.
Your Project Planner will guide you through every step of your renovation: reviewing and comparing bids, flagging potential issues, coordinating site visits, and answering questions along the way. They can also support proposal negotiations and provide recommendations for designers or architects as needed.
Whether you want hands-on support or a second opinion, your Project Planner is here to help—at no cost and with no commitment required.

4
Compare clear, personalized quotes from matched contractors
Receive competitive bids from three contractors who personalized their proposals for your project. Block makes these quotes easy to compare and provides full transparency into each contractor’s reviews, past work, and costs.
Block can also arrange reference checks and in-person site visits. And if you’d like to meet different contractors after receiving three quotes, Block’s project advisors will search for more options to find you the best fit.

5
Hire your contractor with confidence
Our remodel planners guide you through the process, answer questions, explain proposal differences, and conduct in-depth scope reviews. We ensure that proposals reflect accurate price estimates upfront to prevent surprises and minimize change orders.

6
Enjoy built-in project and payment protections
Block manages payments through a secure, progress-based system that ensures contractors only get paid as work gets done. You’ll have full visibility of the timeline through Block’s dashboard, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Every contractor in the Block network also provides a workmanship warranty, giving you added confidence in the quality of your home remodel.
