  • What are allowances and how do they impact the total price of my renovation project?

    An allowance is a predetermined amount included in the contract to cover the cost of specific items that aren't detailed or agreed upon at the time of signing the contract. These items can include hardwood flooring, LVT (luxury vinyl tile), tiles, cabinets, cabinet hardware, countertops, doors, door hardware, interior trim, backsplash, appliances, bath accessories, and more. When calculating the cost, profit and overhead are not applied to these allowance costs. However, if additional labor is required to install the selected items, labor charges will be applied accordingly. A kitchen remodel can become a costly endeavor when you'd don't set an allowance and pay for anything and everything that will change a space. Contact our team to learn more or to request a consultation and receive the most accurate price quote for the work needed in your home.

  • What can affect the total price of my home remodel or renovation?

    The total price of your renovation project can be affected by the final selection made within the allowance framework. If your final selection exceeds the allowance amount, the overall cost will increase. Conversely, if the final selection falls under the allowance amount, the total price will decrease.

  • Do we have to move out during the renovation?

    For bathroom renovations, it's ideal to have another functional bathroom available. In case that's not possible, we offer a solution. Each evening, we can connect the toilet, allowing you to use it. However, please note that access to the shower or vanity sink will be restricted during the renovation process.


    If you're considering kitchen renovations, you won't have access to the kitchen area until the project is complete. We recommend setting up a temporary mini refrigerator and microwave in another part of your home. Dishwashing can be done in the bathroom.


    When it comes to home additions, we advise temporarily moving out of your home for the duration of the project. The process of adding an addition may expose your roof or side of the home, and certain activities like flooring and painting require a dust-free environment. Additionally, there are situations where safety equipment needs to be used, and there may be periods without gas, electricity, and/or water. Our team will work diligently to minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth renovation experience.
