Home remodeling can be performed year-round depending on the project. Renovation or remodeling of interior spaces can usually be completed any time of the year, though there are aspects of projects that can be weather dependent.

During your initial consultation, we can answer any questions you have about timelines of your project.

We take time with our clients during the design process to help understand costs associated with your project. We also do our best to identify any options you may choose in the future and include pricing for those options in our proposal.

Typically, when we sign a contract with our client, we hold true to the contracted price. We take the time to go over every detail of your project to ensure the cost is accurate.

If there are any additional work or changes made to the project by the homeowner, this could be an additional charge, but we will go over the new changes with you before any charges are incurred.
