Frequently Asked Questions

General Renovation Questions

Q: Do I need a permit for my renovation project?

A: Yes, most projects—such as additions, basements, egress windows, and open-concept conversions—require permits and inspections. We handle the permitting process and coordinate with city inspectors so your project is code-compliant.

A: Timelines depend on the scope. A bathroom remodel may take 2–4 weeks, while a dormer or addition could take several months. We provide clear schedules upfront and update you at each milestone.

A: In many cases, yes. For larger projects (like open-concept conversions or full remodels), you may need to adjust your daily routine. We keep work areas clean, set up dust barriers, and plan phases to minimize disruption.

A: We provide line-item estimates with defined allowances. Pricing depends on labor, materials, permits, and scope. Change orders are documented and approved before any extra work begins.

Service-Specific Questions

Q: What’s the benefit of a dormer or room addition?

A: Dormers and room additions add usable space, improve natural light, and boost resale value. They’re a practical solution for families who need more room but don’t want to move.

A: Egress windows are required by code for any bedroom in a basement. They provide a safe exit in emergencies and bring in natural light, making the space more livable

A: We remove interior walls (load-bearing or non-load-bearing) to create open layouts. If structural walls are involved, we install LVL beams or other supports to meet code requirements.
A: Yes. We construct both attached and detached garages from the foundation up, including framing, roofing, siding, and doors.
A: Yes. We specialize in custom built-ins such as under-stair benches, cubbies, and entertainment walls. These maximize space and give your home a personalized finish.

Kitchens, Bathrooms & Finishes

Q: Do you handle full kitchen and bath remodels?
A: Yes. We manage everything from demolition to cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing, and electrical. We also coordinate inspections and ensure code compliance.
A: We install hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, and carpet. We’ll recommend the best option for durability, design, and budget.

Outdoor Living

Q: What types of decks do you build?
A: We build both wood and composite decks, depending on your preference and budget. Composite decking requires less maintenance and lasts longer, while wood offers a classic look.

A: Yes. We design and construct pergolas, patios, and outdoor seating areas to extend your living space outdoors.
