Our Services
Commonly Asked Q&A's
At the project’s commencement, we guarantee the delivery of all “rough-in” materials (mortar, 2x4s, plumbing, electrical, caulk, etc.) to the site. We only request that customer-selected materials (tile, bathtub/shower pan, faucets, vanity, etc.) be on-site upon our arrival to ensure efficient project completion. We provide square footage and quantities for each item, and if anything is overlooked, we’ll promptly make up for it.
We are entirely upfront – offering quotes, not estimates, unlike others. The initial price only changes if the customer alters the project scope or material selection. We guarantee your satisfaction with both our prices and home renovations!
We go to great lengths to contain contaminants at our work site, including using drop cloths from the workspace to the exit, implementing a magnetic entry dust barrier at the workspace door, conducting heavy fabrication outdoors, placing a fan in the window, and ensuring dustless tile cutting with cleanup at the end of each day.
Remodeling a kitchen can often add value to a home. Upgraded kitchens are frequently attractive to potential buyers and can contribute to an increased overall property value. However, the extent of the value added depends on factors such as current market trends and the preferences of potential buyers in your area.
Remodeling your bathroom before selling can be a strategic decision. A well-done bathroom renovation can enhance your home’s appeal, potentially attracting more buyers and increasing its market value. However, the decision depends on factors like your budget, the current condition of the bathroom, and the local real estate market. Consider minor updates that offer a fresh look and address any noticeable issues. Before deciding, research the preferences of potential buyers in your area.
In certain cases, home remodeling expenses may be tax-deductible, but it depends on the nature of the renovation and your specific circumstances. Generally, routine maintenance or improvements that enhance the value of your home are not deductible. However, if the remodeling is related to medical necessity (e.g., making the home more accessible for a disabled person) or home office use, you may be eligible for certain tax benefits. It’s advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific rules and deductions that apply to your situation and location.
There are various ways to finance a home remodeling project:
1. Savings: If possible, use your savings to fund the project. This avoids interest payments and debt.
2. Home Equity Loan or HELOC: Borrow against the equity in your home. A home equity loan provides a lump sum, while a home equity line of credit (HELOC) allows you to borrow as needed.
3. Personal Loan: Unsecured personal loans can be used for home improvement projects. Interest rates may be higher compared to secured loans.
4. Credit Cards: For smaller projects, using a credit card with a low-interest rate or a promotional 0% APR period might be an option.
5. Government Loans: Explore government-backed loans like FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae HomeStyle if your project meets their criteria.
Several companies offer personal loans for home remodeling. Some companies you may consider include:
– SoFi
– LightStream
– Avant
– LendingClub
– Upgrade
– Prosper
– Discover
– Rocket Loans
Before deciding, carefully evaluate interest rates, terms, and your ability to repay. It’s wise to consult with financial advisors or lenders to find the best financing option for your specific situation.
