Yes, we will set a date and time with you to come inspect the area where your project will occur. It's important to inspect and take good measurements so we can research the materials needed to offer you an estimate that is as accurate as possible.

Permit requirements vary by location and are governed by national, state, county, and city standards. Depending on your project, a permit may be necessary. As a licensed contractor we are required to coordinate with your local permit office after our inspection and before commencing any work. Permits can be obtained by the contractor or requested by the homeowner. Please note, additional fees for permits and periodic inspections by local authorities should be considered when estimating the total project cost. 

Sometimes the larger projects can be complex and do require good communication between the homeowner and the contractor. We want this process to flow as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We will always work closely with you every step of the way to make sure you are informed on what we are doing, what you can expect and when. We will be in constant contact with you to listen to any input, suggestions or changes you may have along the way. After all, happy customers are our goal. All you need to do to start the process is contact us using our form available on this site or simply give us a call. Once we hear from you, we will contact you to set up a date and time for a walk-through in order to gather the information we need to provide you with your estimate. We can then email you the estimate once it's complete. Each estimate will include lined items that spell out exactly what we will be doing over the course of the project (usually in chronological order) so that you know what to expect and when.

To achieve the desired end result, effective communication with your licensed contractor is crucial as each project is unique. While contractors can't decide on aesthetics or material costs for the customer, investing time upfront to choose the materials and preferred styles one prefers can streamline the process. Depending on your preferences, it's important to remember that special fittings or space alterations may be necessary, which can impact the project timeline and costs. Clear communication ensures that the contractor understands your vision, minimizing errors and ensuring your overall satisfaction. Good planning and communication are key to successful outcomes and customer satisfaction.

Investing in renovations and upgrades for your home is an investment in its value (please see our section on how to add value to your home below). Strategic investments can maximize your return when it is time to sell. Among the most universally recommended interior improvements are kitchens and bathroom renovations, followed by creating open floor plans and more modern updates. Prospective buyers are particularly attracted to homes with well-appointed bathrooms and functional kitchens, as these areas signify decreased move-in expenditures for the buyers. It is important to ensure that you are using a licensed contractor that is also insured, as there are many expensive errors that can be made in these areas.

Lots of people don't even consider renovating because they assume it will be too expensive for them. However, complete remodels aren't always necessary and larger renovations can sometimes be completed one step at a time. Budget-friendly upgrades can still have a significant impact. Removing popcorn ceilings and applying a fresh coat of paint can greatly enhance your home's appearance. Upgrading lighting fixtures to modern flush mount LEDs can instantly modernize rooms. For a more substantial transformation, consider replacing outdated flooring with durable, water-resistant vinyl planking.

Opening up interior spaces for a brighter, more spacious feel is also highly desirable. Removing walls to create larger entertainment areas or expanding master suites and bathrooms can add considerable value to your home.

On the outside of your home, addressing water damage and siding issues should be prioritized to protect the integrity of your home. Sealing potential entry points for water intrusion, insects and other critters is crucial to prevent damage to interior structures. Other worthwhile upgrades include new windows, landscaping improvements, gutter replacement, and deck repairs. Additionally, a fresh coat of exterior paint can also enhance curb appeal.
