Construction & Remodeling Services

Q: How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Q: Do you help with design or do I need to hire someone separately?

Q: Can I live in my home while work is being done?

A: In most cases, yes. We work clean and respectful. If a project requires extended water/electrical shutdowns, we’ll tell you up front.

Q: What types of additions do you build?

A: Everything from room and second-story additions to sunrooms, in-law suites, and full interior renovations. We make sure the new space flows naturally with your existing home.

Materials, Customization, and Pricing

Q: Do you use subcontractors or is your team in-house?

A: We have a core crew of veterans and trusted tradespeople we’ve worked with for years. All work is managed by us directly—we never just “hand off the job.”

Q: Can I choose my own materials or finishes?

A: Yes. We’ll give you options based on durability and performance, but the final call is always yours.

Q: What does a typical project cost?

A: Pricing varies depending on scope, materials, and location. Once we understand your needs, we’ll provide a fair, detailed quote—no inflated numbers or guesswork.

Scheduling & Process

Q: How far out are you booking projects?

A: It depends on the season and the size of the job. Smaller projects can often be started within a few weeks. For new builds or large additions, we’ll discuss timelines during your consultation.

Q: How do I get started?

A: Easy. Just fill out our contact form and tell us what you’re looking to do. We’ll reach out to schedule a call or on-site consultation.

Q: What can I expect after I contact you?
