General Construction Questions

What is a design + build company, and why does it matter?

A design + build company integrates design, planning, and construction into one unified process. This approach improves communication, aligns budgets with design decisions early, and reduces the risk of disconnects between architects, designers, and builders. For homeowners, it means a more efficient, cohesive, and predictable remodeling experience.

How much do estimates cost?

Do I need a permit for my project to take place?

Most remodeling projects require permits, especially when structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work is involved. Our team handles the permitting process and works with local building departments to ensure your project meets all applicable codes.

Do you provide a service warranty?

Yes, we have a 5 year service warranty. This covers our craftsmanship on your project. If at any time during the next 5 years something does not hold up to normal use and conditions, we’ll come fix it. Of course, all manufacturer’s warranties stand for their respective products (e.g. appliances, flooring, decking, etc.). We also check in twice during the first year after project completion, at 3 months and again at 11 months.

Can I live in my home during construction?

In many cases, yes. Whether it's practical depends on the size and scope of the remodel. We'll discuss your options during planning and work to minimize disruptions whenever possible.

What happens if something unexpected is discovered during the project?

During any remodel, unexpected conditions can arise, such as hidden plumbing or structural issues, outdated electrical wiring, or mold. If we discover anything unforeseen, we will contact you promptly to explain the situation, discuss the findings, and review the available options.

If additional work is required, we will provide an updated estimate outlining any associated costs before moving forward. Our priority is to keep you informed every step of the way so you can make confident, informed decisions. We are committed to working with you to find the best solution while keeping your project on schedule and aligned with your goals and budget.

How long does a typical project take?

Timelines vary depending on the scope, complexity, and permitting requirements. A well-planned project may take longer upfront—but often results in a smoother and more efficient construction phase with fewer delays.

How do I avoid unexpected costs during my project?

Unexpected costs are most often the result of incomplete planning. Our detailed design and planning phase helps identify potential issues early, align expectations, and reduce the likelihood of surprises during construction.
