Building your home · Part 5 of 7
Interiors
The finishes you live with every day: walls and ceilings, trim and doors, floors, tile, and the kitchen. Some are choices of look, some are allowances you shop within, and all of them go over a house built tight underneath.
Decisions in this section
What you’ll decide
Each card is its own page, in the order we usually decide them. Pick finishes early: some have long lead times, and some change what we build before the drywall goes up.
Three kinds of decisions
Inside the house, nothing is Good, Better, Best. Each page tells you up front which kind of choice it is.
FAQ
Common questions
What is an allowance?
A budget set aside in your estimate for things you pick yourself, like tile, cabinets, countertops, and appliances. Choose something that costs less and the difference is credited back; choose more and it's added by change order.
Which interior work does Bedrock do itself?
Our crew does the finish carpentry, wood ceilings and paneling, stairs, tile, cabinet installation, and engineered wood floors. Drywall, paint, other flooring, and countertops go to local specialists we schedule and oversee.
When do I need to pick my finishes?
Early. Tile, cabinets, and countertops have lead times, and some choices change what we build before drywall, like blocking for cabinets or a curbless shower. Your schedule lists a date for each selection.
Not sure where to start?
We'll walk through every finish with you during pre-construction, using your plans, budget, and the way you live.
