Cost Management & Process

Q14: How can I set a realistic budget for my home remodel?

A14: We will help you!  We will provide you with a detailed budget line by line, reflecting both labor and materials (even materials that you purchase yourself such as appliances), so that you can remove any section or line item to reduce your budget and understand the trade-offs you will be making so that we can “stick the landing”.  Start by assessing your needs vs. wants. Research material costs, obtain multiple detailed quotes from reputable contractors, and consider allocating about 15% of your home's current value to the project. Most importantly, always include a 10-20% contingency fund for unforeseen expenses.

Q15: What is a contingency fund, and why is it important?

A15: A contingency fund is an additional 10-20% of your total project budget set aside for unexpected costs. This is crucial because hidden issues (like mold, outdated wiring, or subfloor damage) can be uncovered during demolition, and material prices can fluctuate. It prevents delays and financial strain.

Q16: How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel take?

A16: The timeline varies significantly with the scope. A minor cosmetic update might take a few weeks, while a major remodel involving structural changes, custom elements, and utility rerouting can take several months. We provide a detailed project timeline with your estimate.

Q17: Do I need a designer for my remodel?

A17: Although we work with many third party designers, we also have our own design capabilities and can provide advice on materials selections, layouts, and renderings and ensure a project plan that will ensure a high-quality, aesthetically pleasing outcome.
