Adding a fully customized door to your home makes it a more personalized space. You can make your house more modern since secret door ideas are growing more popular each year. Check out how the Creative Home Engineering team makes hidden passageways possible so you can visualize every step of your upcoming renovation adventure.
Personalizing the inside of your home is a common experience — nearly 70% of U.S. homeowners renovated some interior part of their houses in 2022. A hidden door could be the next project that makes your home feel complete, especially when you work with the experienced Creative Home Engineering team.
When you contact our experts, they’ll schedule a call to discuss your project in detail. They work with clients who know exactly what they want and individuals with only general doorway ideas. You can start the phone call with these details already prepared:
Part of the collaborative experience depends on what you have on standby to help the team visualize your project. Bring helpful tools like:
These details help your engineers know what you want and what you have to work with, like an existing build structure that supports specific door types. They’ll form a design plan before walking you through the exact materials your door will need and how your selections will impact the project’s final price tag.
Clients don’t have to commit to any project before getting their quotes. After the Creative Home Engineering team knows what secret door ideas appeal to you, they’ll break your project into details like:
After reviewing your options and prices, you’ll decide what’s best for your budget. The design team will revise the proposal and send an updated version multiple times if necessary. When you feel confident about the project and its price, you’ll pay a deposit equal to 25% of your proposal.
Your modern home upgrade will be ready to schedule once you secure the project with your deposit. Whether you want a secret security door that protects your belongings with ballistic-resistant steel or a fun doorway for your child’s playroom, the Creative Home Engineering design experts will send a computer-aided design (CAD) model that includes the following features:
Even if your door is larger than the average 32-36 inches wide, your contractor can easily install it with the extra details provided in your drawing package.
Call the Creative Home Engineering team if you have any questions about your project’s details. They aim to answer anything you might wonder about before any work begins. It’s also a usual part of the process, as 80% of clients request revisions after paying their deposit. The updates don’t add extra charges unless you opt for more costly features.
When you feel confident about your drawing package, contact a local contractor about your vault door or hidden passageway project. They’ll install the door according to the design resources.
The initial 25% deposit clients make in step two is only the first part of a typical payment plan. The rest of the financial arrangement steps work as follows:
Once you make this second payment, you can’t make further changes without increasing your project’s overall cost. The Creative Home Engineering team uses your payments to start this process:
Creating hidden rooms takes time for each client. The unique design for each order means the fabrication and testing timeline may not be the same for everyone. However, continual updates ensure you’ll always know what’s happening with your future door.
After you receive your photos from the Creative Home Engineering experts, you’ll get your final balance invoice. These are the last steps you’ll take with our team before your door arrives at your home:
Less than five percent of Creative Home Engineering orders require a team member to fly out for in-person installation. If your project requires it, an additional travel fee will become part of your pricing package.
Don’t worry about not having a team member on-site when your secret passageway project begins. Every client gets free unlimited phone and video call support before, during and after installation. A standard two-year warranty also covers any door-related concerns related to its manufacturing.
