Can you come give me a bid?

Yes and no. Our industry is vague about what a “bid”, “quote” or “estimate” are. We offer a free consultation, after which we will give you a price “estimate” or range, making some assumptions about conditions and selections. If you like working with us and the budget sounds reasonable, we will build a fixed cost contract together, making the appropriate selections and getting fixed price quotes from our suppliers.


What is my project going to cost?

What a question! Either on the phone, or after our initial site consultation, we will be able to give you a ballpark estimate, or range of costs, for your project. This is based on similar recent projects and makes some assumptions about site conditions and specifications.


When will I have a final project cost?

We will advise you of a range of costs early in the process, since we don’t like surprises and assume you don’t either! Including the budget in the conversation early and often ensures we are working toward a feasible dream. After selections are made and designs are completed, we will assemble the fixed price contract, which includes the final cost.


How long does planning take?

A smaller project like a master bathroom remodel can take as little as a month to plan and permit, and a kitchen generally doesn’t take much longer. A whole-house remodel can take anywhere from 2-6 months to plan and permit, and a new custom home can take even longer. In our experience, the time spent properly planning and budgeting a project pays dividends when it comes time to build.


How long does Construction take?

Most bathroom and kitchen remodels take 4-6 weeks, if major layout changes are not happening. A whole house remodel can be from 3-5 months or more, depending on scope. A new custom home generally takes 12-18 months to complete.


What homework should I do before hiring a builder or remodeler?

Check off the easy things first! Check to see if potential contractors are properly licensed, bonded, and insured for the work they are doing. Check to see if they have reviews, and if they have completed the type of project you are looking to build. Lastly, but not least important, evaluate whether it is an individual and company that you trust and want to work with.
