Meet Your Renovation Manager

Hi, I'm Wayne Palmer.

I own a unit at Crescent Beach Club, and I renovated it myself first: the kitchen, the baths, the floors, the doors, and the paint.

Like many owners, I don't live here full time, so I know what it's like to look after a condo from a distance.

When you hire HomeAssure, you get me. I'm at your unit, working with the trades and your building. You won't be handed off to someone you've never met.

Why Condo Work Is Different

Many contractors avoid high-rise condos. We specialize in them.

In a condo, the building sets the rules. A good renovation depends on handling them well.

  • Association applications, deposits, and approvals
  • Elevator bookings and hallway protection
  • Building work hours and quiet times
  • Neighbors above, below, and beside you
  • The sound-rated flooring your building requires

We own a unit in one of these buildings. We plan for all of this from day one.

How We're Different

We work for you, not for the trades

Most contractors bundle everything into one price, with a markup you never see. With us, every dollar is visible.

Wayne

On site, start to finish

Scheduling, your building office, elevators, daily cleanup, quality checks, and regular photo updates.

How permits and insurance work

Licensed work is permitted and performed by licensed trades under their own licenses and insurance, which we check before anyone is hired. HomeAssure Services carries its own business insurance and provides a certificate of insurance to your association before work starts.

Built for Out-of-Town Families

Everyone stays in the loop

Many of our owners live up north for part of the year, or share a condo with family in other states.

  • Regular photo updates on what's done and what's next
  • Your family can be copied on every update
  • Copies of each trade invoice, checked before you pay
  • A real person to call, any time: Wayne

Unit 19B, Crescent Beach Club

Before taking on a single client, we renovated our own unit. It's where we tested local trades, worked out elevator and debris routines with building management, and proved the finish quality firsthand.

Common Questions

Questions owners ask us

We act as your independent owner's representative and project manager. Our own crew does the finish work: demolition, drywall, cabinets, doors, trim, and paint. Licensed work like electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, and tile is done by licensed trades. You hire them directly, and we manage them for you.
Licensed work is permitted and performed by the licensed trades under their own licenses and insurance. We check their licenses and insurance before anyone is hired. HomeAssure Services carries its own business insurance and provides a certificate of insurance to your association before work starts.
We charge a management fee based on the size and length of your project. It's written into a plain-English agreement before any work begins. We never take a cut from trades or suppliers, so our only interest is getting your job done right, on time, and on budget.
All the time. We prepare the association's renovation application, provide our certificate of insurance, book the elevator, protect the hallways, and follow the building's work hours and rules.
Yes. That's who we built this for. We're on site, we handle the building, we check every invoice, and we send regular photo updates. We're happy to include your family, too.
It depends on the size of the job. A full update of the kitchen, baths, floors, paint, and doors usually takes six to nine months from start to finish. That includes getting bids, building approval, and working within building hours. Smaller projects are much faster. You'll get a realistic timeline before you decide.
