Can I live in my home during the remodel?

Yes, in most cases. We plan our work to minimize disruption and keep your space as safe and clean as possible. For larger projects, we’ll let you know if temporary relocation is recommended.

Do you pull the permits, or do I have to?

We handle all necessary permits and code requirements for your project. As a licensed Michigan contractor, we ensure all work is done to meet or exceed local building codes.

How do I get started?

It’s simple — just request a free estimate through our website or give us a call. We’ll schedule a time to visit your home, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed quote.

Do you offer design help or layout suggestions?

Absolutely. We help you plan and visualize your project — from space-saving layouts to material selections. We can also refer you to trusted designers if you need full design services.

What happens if something unexpected comes up during the job?

We’ll communicate with you immediately if we find hidden damage or issues behind walls, under floors, etc. We’ll explain the problem, recommend a solution, and only proceed with your approval.

How is payment handled?

We typically require a deposit to begin work, with progress payments made at key project milestones. The final balance is due upon completion and your full satisfaction.

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Yes. We stand by our craftsmanship and offer a workmanship warranty on all remodeling services. Product warranties vary by manufacturer and will be provided during the material selection phase.

Do I need to be home during the estimate or the work?

For the initial estimate, we recommend that the homeowner is present to discuss project details. During the work, it’s not required that you’re home all the time — as long as we have access, we’ll keep you updated daily.

How far in advance should I book a remodel?

We recommend reaching out at least 4–6 weeks before your ideal start date. Larger projects or peak seasons may require more lead time. The sooner you book, the better we can plan and lock in materials.

Can I supply my own materials?

Yes, you’re welcome to provide your own materials (like fixtures or tile), but we do recommend letting us source key items to ensure quality, fit, and warranty coverage.

What if I want to make changes during the project?

We understand ideas evolve. Any changes will be documented through a change order, and we’ll explain how they affect cost or timeline before proceeding — no surprises.

Do you work with homeowners, property investors, or landlords?

Yes, we work with all types of clients — from homeowners and landlords to real estate investors and property managers. We can tailor our services to fit rental properties or resale goals.

What kind of flooring do you recommend for bathrooms or basements?

We typically recommend water-resistant options like ceramic tile, vinyl plank (LVP), or porcelain tile for bathrooms and basements. We’ll guide you based on style, durability, and your budget.

Do you handle plumbing and electrical work too?

Yes — we coordinate all necessary trades including licensed plumbers and electricians. You don’t need to hire multiple contractors; we manage the entire process for you.

How do you protect my home during the remodel?

We take pride in keeping your home safe and clean. We use floor coverings, plastic barriers, and dust control methods to protect surrounding areas — and we always clean up at the end of each day.
