Questions
Before you begin
Detailed answers are here when you need them. Open a question to learn more.
What is included in this service?
Work can include Selective Demolition, Interior Demolition, Kitchen Demolition, Bathroom Demolition, Floor Removal, and Ceiling Removal. The final proposal confirms the selected services, quantities, site conditions, and any exclusions for your property.
How long does the work usually take?
A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 8–14 weeks. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, weather, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.
Can we remain in the home during construction?
That depends on safe access, working bathrooms and kitchens, utility shutdowns, dust control, and the number of rooms affected. Major whole-home work often requires temporary relocation during the most disruptive stages.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is built from the selected services using hourly, project-based, per-square-foot, and per-room rates, as applicable to the measured scope. Design-dependent or concealed work may require a custom quotation. The final proposal confirms quantities and approved choices.
Can a whole-home renovation be completed in phases?
Yes. Phasing can reduce the amount of the home affected at one time, but it may extend the overall schedule and create repeat mobilization. We compare phasing with a continuous project before the scope is finalized.
How are finish selections kept consistent throughout the home?
Key flooring, paint, trim, cabinetry, hardware, and fixture decisions are organized before their installation dates. Transitions between retained and renovated areas are reviewed as part of the design and scope.
