Will I receive a written estimate or proposal?
[Editable policy: Describe how project details, inclusions, exclusions, and pricing are documented during the proposal phase.]
Can you work within a specific budget?
Discussing the budget early helps determine realistic priorities, materials, and project scope.
What can cause the final cost to change?
Customer-requested changes, hidden conditions, structural issues, material upgrades, code requirements, and additions to the original scope can affect final pricing.
Are materials included in the estimate?
This depends on the project and proposal. The written proposal will clearly identify included labor, materials, allowances, and any customer-supplied items.
Do you offer financing?

Can several rooms be remodeled at the same time?
