Project Timeline & Process
How long will my project take?
Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. Kitchen remodels typically take 4-8 weeks, bathroom remodels 2-4 weeks, and home additions 3-6 months. We provide detailed timelines during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the project.

Will I need to move out during construction?
Most clients stay in their homes during construction. We work to minimize disruption, maintain clean work areas, and can often isolate construction zones. For major renovations, we'll discuss the best approach for your situation.
How do you handle unexpected issues?
If we discover unforeseen conditions (like hidden water damage or structural issues), we'll document them, explain the situation, and provide options with pricing before proceeding. We believe in transparent communication throughout the project.
Pricing & Payment

We accept checks, bank transfers, and major credit cards. Payment schedules are outlined in the project contract, typically including a deposit, progress payments, and final payment upon completion.
Do you offer financing options?
We can provide information about financing options and work with several lending partners. Contact us to discuss financing solutions that fit your budget.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. We provide transparent, detailed estimates that include all labor, materials, permits, and cleanup. Any changes to the scope of work are documented and approved before proceeding.
What if I need to make changes during the project?
We understand that changes happen. Any modifications to the original plan will be documented with a change order that outlines the scope, cost, and timeline impact. We'll review and get your approval before proceeding.
Materials & Quality
What quality of materials do you use?
We use high-quality materials from reputable manufacturers. We can work within various budgets and will present options at different price points, always recommending the best value for your investment.
Can I supply my own materials?
