You love your home—but maybe it feels a little dated, or you're simply ready for a fresh, modern look. You don’t want to go through the stress and cost of a full renovation, but you're considering smaller aesthetic upgrades like new flooring to transform your space.

At Progetto Management, we understand that even "small" projects like floor replacements can quickly become complex if not managed properly. That’s where we come in.

We are professional project managers who work with homeowners to ensure every detail of the project is handled efficiently and with minimal stress. We’re not contractors or designers. We are the people who keep your project running smoothly from start to finish.


We Are On Site Every Step of the Way

One of the biggest advantages of working with Progetto Management is that we’re physically present on-site throughout the entire project. From demolition of the existing floors to the final walkthrough, we’re there daily—supervising the work, coordinating installers, managing timelines, and solving problems as they arise.

Our presence ensures the job is done correctly, stays on schedule, and causes the least disruption possible. We act as your eyes and ears, making sure every detail is accounted for and every step is executed with care.


Detailed Scope Review and Contingency Planning

Before the project begins, we sit down with you to review your full scope of work. This includes not just the flooring installation, but all supporting tasks that are often overlooked, such as:

  • Who will provide bins or containers for demolition debris?

  • Who will handle the disposal and removal of materials?

  • Is dust containment properly planned?

  • How will furniture and existing finishes be protected?

We identify these potential gaps early and build contingencies into your plan and budget. This proactive approach prevents surprises, manages expectations, and helps keep your project on track and on budget.


Demolition Requires Careful Handling

Floor demolition can be dusty and disruptive if not carefully managed. Our team supervises the removal process to protect walls, doors, furniture, and finishes from damage.

We coordinate the installation of dust control barriers to contain debris and prevent dust from spreading throughout your home. We also ensure debris is removed promptly and safely so your space remains clean and organized.


Expect the Unexpected

Once the old floor is removed, it’s common to discover hidden issues such as:

  • Damaged subfloors

  • Uneven surfaces

  • Water damage

We’re prepared for these situations. If problems are uncovered, we assess the issue, consult specialists if needed, and communicate with you before approving additional work or changes to the plan. This helps avoid delays and unexpected costs.


Managing the Work Without Disrupting Your Life

Floor replacement projects often require:

  • Moving or protecting furniture

  • Controlling dust and debris

  • Keeping your home livable during work

We’re on-site during installation days to make sure these tasks are managed properly. We verify that installers follow best practices and that the work area is cleaned up at the end of each day. Being present means we can respond to issues immediately and keep your project moving smoothly.


Clear, Consistent Communication

We serve as your single point of contact throughout the entire project. You’ll receive regular updates on:

  • Project progress

  • Scheduling and next steps

  • Any unexpected developments or changes

This clear communication reduces stress and keeps you informed at every stage.


Final Walkthrough and Quality Control

After installation is complete, we conduct a detailed walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. We check:

  • Floor alignment

  • Transitions and finishes

  • Quality of workmanship

  • Cleanliness and final presentation

We also review care and maintenance tips so you can protect your investment and keep your new floors looking beautiful for years to come.


Why Hire a Project Manager for a “Small” Update?

Many homeowners assume project management is only needed for large-scale renovations. In reality, even a flooring replacement involves:

  • Multiple trades and timelines

  • Resident coordination

  • Demolition and cleanup

  • Material handling

  • Potential unforeseen issues

With Progetto Management, you get hands-on supervision, detailed planning, and peace of mind. We reduce stress, prevent delays, and ensure you get the result you’re dreaming of—without the hassle.
