Do you work with architects?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with architects and are happy to work from a complete set of architectural plans. If needed, we can also recommend architects and provide estimates based on your drawings.
How long does a typical project take?
Project timelines vary based on size and complexity.
- Kitchen remodels typically take around 2 months
- Full second-story additions often take 6–8 months
- Whole-home renovations generally take 7–9 months
These are estimates, and exact timelines are determined during project planning.

Do you use environmentally friendly building materials?
Whenever possible, yes. Many modern building materials are environmentally friendly by default, and we are happy to discuss green or sustainable options if that is a priority for your project.
What do you charge per square foot?
For Remodeling:
Remodeling costs vary depending on scope, materials, and structural requirements.
- Kitchen remodels often range from $150–$300 per square foot, though high-end kitchens can exceed this depending on cabinetry, appliances, and finishes.
- Some designers recommend budgeting $400 per square foot for full kitchen remodels.
We provide detailed estimates after reviewing plans and discussing your goals.
For Additions:
First-floor or second-story additions typically start around $320–$360 per square foot, with final pricing depending on engineering needs and finish selections.
What is your payment policy?
We require a small down payment to cover permitting and initial materials. For example, on a $200,000 project, the down payment is typically around $6,000. Payment schedules are clearly outlined in each contract.
Do you accept credit cards?
No. We accept personal checks and bank-issued checks for construction loans.
How difficult is it to get on your schedule?
Scheduling depends on project size and current workload. Smaller projects can often begin soon after contracts are finalized and permits are secured. Larger projects and additions may require additional permitting time, typically 6–8 weeks.
