How do I plan a remodel?
It's very important to be organized and begin this process by writing down your ideas.
Talk to family and friends about what you're thinking of doing. Getting multiple opinions from people you trust will aid in developing your plan.
Also, make sure to visit your local library and/or bookstores to see current trends in design.
Once you get a plan and idea of what you want, call us and we'll visit.
Our experience in this process will often uncover many ideas and avenues that you did not think about.

How do I pay for a remodel?
There are many options to pay for your remodel.
The easiest and most convenient is to pay cash, but there are home improvement loans, home equity line of credit, second mortgages, and a cash-out refinance of your current mortgage.
Please speak to your licensed and qualified mortgage banker or broker for more details.
If you need assistance with finding someone in this industry we can help connect you with a qualified contact.

What should I expect during our remodel?
This is an exciting time, but there are many things to consider during this process, besides construction dust and a disturbed daily routine.
Lead, asbestos, etc. are serious concerns and create challenges for both us and the homeowner.
We're qualified to handle all these issues, or create safe methods of mitigating these situations.
We offer a detailed plan regarding when we'll start the work, different milestones of the construction process,
and have techniques that we'll employ to minimize dust and the inconvenience of the remodel.
