Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my remodel take?very project is unique, so timelines depend on the size of the project, material selections, and existing conditions in your home. We’ll share a realistic schedule upfront and keep you informed if anything changes along the way. Our focus is always on doing the work right—not rushing the process.
As a general guideline, smaller remodels typically take 3–4 months, whole-home remodels around 9 months, larger additions or second-story projects 10–12 months, and new home builds about one year.
How do I get started?Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll meet at your home for a no pressure in-home consultation to walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.
What makes you different?Because we’re a local design-build team, our designers and builders work together from day one. That collaboration leads to smarter planning, clearer communication, and fewer surprises along the way. We believe remodeling should feel personal—not overwhelming—so we focus on honest conversations, thoughtful design, and quality craftsmanship. You’ll always know what’s happening, what it costs, and why decisions matter. And if something unexpected comes up, we talk it through—plain and simple.
How do I know what my project will cost?We walk you through pricing early and transparently, outlining what’s included and where you have flexibility. Once construction begins, we keep communication open so there are no surprises—and we’ll always talk through options before any changes are made.
