Frequently asked questions

1Why is there such a wide range in renovation prices?
Every home and business is different. A small paint-and-flooring refresh costs far less than a full gut job with layout changes, custom finishes, or structural work. We provide flexible options based on your budget and goals.
2Can I get a ballpark estimate over the phone or by email?
We can definitely give you a rough idea based on similar projects, but for an accurate quote, we usually need a quick walkthrough or video call to understand your space and needs.
3Do you charge for estimates or consultations?
Nope! We offer free consultations and no-obligation estimates. It’s part of how we build trust and help you make informed decisions.
4What’s the biggest factor that drives up renovation costs?
Layout changes that involve plumbing, electrical, or structural work tend to be the most expensive. Custom features and high-end materials can also push the price up—but they’re worth it if you’re looking for long-term value.
5Can I renovate one room at a time?
Absolutely. Many clients start with one space (like a bathroom or kitchen), then move on to the next when they’re ready. We’re happy to help you phase your renovation to fit your timeline and budget.
6How long does a typical renovation take?
It varies by project. A small room refresh might take a week, while a full home renovation could take several months. Once we’ve scoped your project, we’ll give you a clear timeline.
7Is it worth renovating before selling my home?
In many cases, yes! Kitchens, bathrooms, and finished basements often increase resale value. Even a few smart updates can make your home much more attractive to buyers.
