Our Project Managers personally know and meet with all the trades’ people who will be working in your home. He or she manages and constantly inspects all work done by our trades’ people during construction. The Project Manager is either present everyday for part of the day while the project is ongoing or is in contact with the trades’ people everyday to insure the project is running smoothly. The Project Manager is available to you by phone and email at all times.

Maybe. It depends upon what your budget is. During your Free Design Consultation the Remodeling Consultant should be able to tell you if we can work within your budget, and whether your budgetary expectations are reasonable or not. Once we set your budget and prepare a labor proposal, we keep to the price we quote you. And, because our team is knowledgeable about the products you need, we’ll be able to show you materials that should keep you within your budget

As a simple rule of thumb, if you are removing or adding any walls inside or outside of the structure, you will need an architect to prepare drawings. We can provide all the design services you need in-house, but if and when a licensed architect needs to sign off, we will use one of the architects in our network. This will depend on whether you need a permit from your local building department, or if you live in an apartment building – whether the building management requires that the plans be prepared by a licensed architect.

We will assist you in the process. It is ultimately your responsibility to pay for the permits and all related fees, but we can help by preparing the paperwork required on our end and guide you through the rest. Building permits require an architect’s drawings, various plans, and other documentation. All of these items must be submitted by an expediter. We can hire these professionals on your behalf and oversee the process, or you may do it on your own if you prefer.

Yes, but we recommend that you remove everything possible – especially your most important possessions. Although we take extreme precautions to protect your belongings, dust flies everywhere during construction. And, much of it is microscopic so no matter what we (or you) do to protect them, your belongings will get dust particles on and in them.

We cover floors with either rosin paper or Masonite, depending on the circumstances and we block off the areas surrounding the construction area with heavy gauge plastic sheets. We also cover furniture in the surrounding area to protect it as much as possible.ae.

At the risk of sounding elusive, we really must say that “it depends.” The scope of the kitchen remodeling dictates how long the project will take. For example, if you are removing a wall or two to open up the kitchen, which is a very common trend now, the actual construction will obviously take a little bit longer. But, it is important to remember that removing or adding walls will generally require building department permits, which will also add to the project time. Here’s a sample timeline, for illustration purposes only, of a kitchen remodeling project that does not include removing or adding walls: Meet with a remodeling consultant for a Free Design Consultation and get proposal – 1 week. Meet at our showroom, finalize the scope of the project and the terms of a Remodeling Agreement – 2 to 3 weeks. Select all the materials for the project – 1 to 4 weeks. Materials are ordered and delivered – 4 to 8 weeks. Demolition and removal of old materials and appliances – 1 week. Installation of new materials and appliances, flooring, plumbing and electrical work, painting – 3 to 4 weeks. Finishing touches and clean up – 1 to 2 weeks.

You can start by getting a good idea for the type of look and style you want. If you don’t know yet, look at some magazines, websites, or watch some home remodeling shows to get some design ideas. Then, contact us for a Free Design Consultation with a Remodeling Consultant. You will be instructed by your Remodeling Consultant as to what exact steps you need to take. But, generally speaking, before construction begins, you’ll want to clear out the area being worked on of all your personal belongings that can be removed. Although, we cover the areas surrounding our work area, you’ll want to protect your furniture from dust with plastic and/or sheet

Wired security cameras are well suited for new construction projects. Loud power tools and opening walls during installation can disrupt an already-occupied area. For an existing space, it’s best to work with an experienced installer who can implement a drilling and fishing method. This involves running cables and wires through walls and ceilings without disturbing the current structure. For leased spaces, it's best to check with the building management prior to indoor or outdoor installation, as some may not permit tenants to alter an existing structure. A wireless connection's absence of cords and cables make installation easy for any DIYer—with 24/7 video analytics, reporting and monitoring available via any smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Visual search matching and minimal false alerts are two additional pluses. Hard-wired cameras have an established track record when it comes to development and best practices. Wireless holds its own, but there are still existing security measures that must be taken into consideration.

By adding a security system with access control entry or keycard systems, intercom/entrance systems, and security cameras with video surveillance, you can fully customize who has access to certain areas, while also keeping a watchful eye on things at any time.
