Commonly Asked Questions

Our team of experienced professionals can address almost anything that relates to your home. Our skills include drafting architectural blueprints, helping you to obtain permits, budgeting for large scale projects, aiding your finished construction with a touch of Interior Design, as well as taking control of the planning and scheduling aspects of your home renovation.

This is completely dependent on the type of project and project size. A sweeping, full-home renovation generally takes around 4-6 months. A renovation complete with an addition takes 5-7 months, and building a custom home takes just more than a year, beginning with a 1-2 month design process. Minor renovations obviously take less time. Bathrooms usually take 3-4 weeks, and full basements take 4-6 weeks. Depending on the scope of the project, the design and planning phase can take anywhere from 4 weeks to 8 months... Even if this is a time consuming step, it is absolutely worthwhile.

Planning is the most important factor in regards to a successful completion of the project. If the project begins on the right trajectory, less problems will occur while the construction or renovation is taking place. No matter what, stressful situations will arise in a project like this. With the right planning in place, this stress will be minimized. Once all of the commotion of construction has gotten underway, you will be glad that you started with a solid plan to create a less chaotic atmosphere.

We do use subcontractors, and we use the best of the best. We trust our subcontractors, but as the company that is in charge of the project’s development, our professional workers will be on site every single day. Our standards of quality are higher than our competitors, and we always use professional, licensed tradesmen for every stage of the project.

We are a fully insured company, which means that we carry over $2 million in liability coverage. This insurance declares that you, the client, will never be held liable for any harm or accident that occurs on our job site.

This means that we will handle the whole process, beginning with the design and continuing through the completion of your project. The advantage of choosing a Design/Build company, such as ourselves, is that it simplifies the process and keeps the operations and communication within one team instead of two, adding efficiency to all levels of your project.

This is dependent on multiple factors, since we are custom home builders. The design of your home, the finishes, and the specific structural elements all have an impact on the cost per square foot, but roughly $325 is a decent budget to consider.

That is not a possibility. We must do this, as we are considered to be the prime contractor by laws and regulations. This gives us the sole responsibility of these aspects of the job, and this is especially important in the case of exposure to hazardous situations and materials.

If you are looking to make major structural changes, such as additions or extensions of an electrical or plumbing variety, then you will likely need a permit. If your renovations are mostly decorative or aesthetic in natural, or internal functions such as a new heating system, you will not require a permit. If you have never gone through the process of obtaining a permit, you may find it to be a real headache due to its complexity. Luckily, we’re here to help. With the guidance of our experienced contractors, we guarantee that this part of the process will become less stressful and time consuming; in the short-term for the renovation, as well as in the long-term if you ever choose to sell your renovated home.
