Demo review
A whole-house remodel was the scariest thing we'd ever signed up for. Having one project lead who answered every question made it feel manageable. They kept every bit of the old trim they promised to keep.
Questions
Common questions
Will we need to move out?
For most whole-home projects, yes, for part of the build. We tell you at the design stage exactly which weeks the house won't be livable, so you can plan.
Can we do the work in phases?
Yes. We can design the whole house at once and build it in phases, so every phase fits the final plan and nothing gets torn out twice.
Who handles the structural engineer and permits?
We do. Our engineer joins the design stage, and we submit, track and stand at every inspection.
