SHEET A-980 · ASKED ON EVERY JOB

STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

The questions every homeowner asks — answered the way we answer them on a site visit, with numbers where numbers exist.

01Do I need a permit for my remodel?

If walls, structure, plumbing, or electrical move — yes. We pull every permit ourselves, and the fee shows on your estimate as its own line, not a surprise.

02How accurate is the estimate, really?

Across all 214 delivered projects our final invoice has averaged within ±2.4% of the signed estimate. Both numbers are on every project file on this site — go check us.

03Can we live in the house during the work?

Usually, yes. We build dust walls, protect floors, keep one bathroom working at all times, and sequence loud work to school hours when there are kids in the house.

04What happens when you find something bad behind a wall?

It gets photographed, priced, and put in front of you the same week — as a signed change order, before the work happens. Never on the final invoice as a surprise.

05How do change orders work?

One page, one price, one signature — then it enters the schedule. Our average project carries fewer than two.

06How long until you can start?

A measured estimate takes four minutes online, a site visit happens inside a week, and most projects break ground six to ten weeks after drawings are signed.

07Are you licensed and insured?

CCB #214930 — licensed, bonded, and insured, and it is on the bottom of every page and every sheet we print. Ask any contractor for theirs before you talk numbers.

08Do you warranty the work?

Two years on workmanship, in writing, and we come back for the small stuff too — a door that seasons out of square in year one is our door.
