Frequently Asked Questions

What types of projects do we take on?

We specialize in high quality residential remodeling throughout Northern Virginia.
Our work includes kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole home renovations, additions and bump outs, outdoor living spaces, and custom cabinetry or built ins. For a full overview, visit our Remodeling page. If you have a project in mind that is not listed, Get in Touch and we are happy to discuss it.

When should I reach out to begin my project?

As early as possible, even if your project is still an idea. Early conversations help define goals, answer questions, establish a realistic timeline, and plan ahead for scheduling. Get in Touch to start the conversation.

Is there a minimum project size?

Our typical minimum project size starts around $25,000. Every project is different, and depending on our availability we may be able to accommodate smaller scopes or refer you to a trusted partner. Get in Touch and tell us about your project so we can explore the best option.

Do you provide line-item estimates?

We provide clear, comprehensive proposals that outline the full project investment. Optional upgrades are identified, but we do not break every component into individual line items. This approach allows us to accurately reflect scope, coordination, and quality standards.

How do allowances work?

Allowances are placeholder amounts included for selections finalized later, such as fixtures, tile, or cabinetry. If your final selection costs less than the allowance, the total contract amount is reduced. If it costs more, the difference is added. For example, if an allowance is $1,000 and you select a $700 item, the total decreases by $300.

How accurate are the estimates?

Estimates are built using detailed site assessments and years of experience. Accuracy depends on the clarity of project details, transparency around budget expectations, and any unforeseen conditions uncovered during construction. For a more tailored discussion, Get in Touch and speak directly with our team.

Should I move out during my renovation?

This depends on the scope of your project. Smaller, contained renovations like a single bathroom often allow you to remain in the home. Larger remodels, additions, or major kitchen projects may make temporary relocation more comfortable due to noise, dust, and limited access. We will help you evaluate this during planning.

How long does a renovation take?

Timelines vary by scope. Smaller projects may take a few weeks, while larger remodels or whole home renovations may take several months. For a project specific timeline, Get in Touch and we can review your details.

How soon can we get started?

Every project moves through pre construction planning and construction scheduling. Planning includes design, selections, permitting, and material ordering, which can take one to twelve months depending on scope. Construction start dates depend on our current schedule once planning is complete. Get in Touch early to check availability.
