Frequently Asked Questions
Taking on a renovation or home addition is a significant project, and it’s normal to have questions before getting started. Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from homeowners.
How do I begin a renovation project with your team?
Getting started is simple. Reach out to us through our website or by phone, and we’ll schedule an initial consultation. From there, we’ll discuss your goals, budget, and vision to determine the best next steps for your project.
What happens during the first consultation?
During the consultation, we take the time to understand your space, your needs, and what you’re hoping to achieve. We’ll walk you through our process, answer your questions, and explain how we approach design, budgeting, and construction.
What details should I prepare before reaching out?
It helps to have a general idea of your goals, inspiration, timeline, and budget range. Don’t worry if everything isn’t finalized — we’re here to guide you through the details.
Do you offer in-home consultations?
Yes. In many cases, we’ll visit your home to better understand the space and identify any opportunities or challenges early on.
How do I know if my project is a good fit?
We specialize in full-service renovations where thoughtful planning, design, and execution are key. If you’re looking for a structured, guided process with a focus on quality and transparency, we’re likely a great fit.
What types of projects do you take on?
We handle a wide range of residential renovations, including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, full-home remodels, and multi-generational living spaces.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve homeowners within our local region of Cornwall and SD&G, Ontario. Contact us to confirm if your project location falls within our service area.
How far in advance should I start planning?
We recommend reaching out several months in advance. Proper planning ensures a smoother design process and allows us to schedule your project efficiently.
What does the design phase include?
Our design phase covers everything from layout planning and drawings to material selection and budgeting. We work closely with you to refine your vision and ensure every detail is considered before construction begins.
How long does the design process take?
Most design phases take between 1 to 3 months, depending on the complexity of the project and how quickly decisions are finalized.
Will I receive drawings and renderings?
Yes. We provide detailed drawings and, when applicable, visual renderings so you can clearly understand the final outcome before construction starts.
Can I make changes during the design stage?
Absolutely. The design phase is the best time to explore options and make adjustments. We encourage collaboration to ensure the final plan reflects your goals.
How involved will I be in selecting materials and finishes?
You’ll be involved as much as you’d like. We guide you through selections and provide recommendations to make the process easier and more efficient.
What is a design contract?
A design contract formalizes the planning phase of your project. It ensures we dedicate the time and resources needed to develop a detailed, accurate plan before construction begins.
When will I receive the final project cost?
You’ll receive a detailed, fixed-price quote once the design phase is complete. This allows us to provide accurate pricing with minimal surprises.
When does construction begin after approval?
Once the design is finalized and the agreement is signed, we schedule your project and begin preparation for construction.
How long will my renovation take?
Timelines vary depending on the scope of work, but we provide a clear schedule before construction begins and keep you updated throughout the project.
Will I receive a project schedule?
Yes. We provide a structured timeline so you know what to expect at each stage of the renovation.
Who will oversee my renovation on-site?
Your project will be managed by an experienced team member who ensures everything runs smoothly and according to plan.
How will we stay in communication throughout the project?
We maintain regular communication through scheduled updates, walkthroughs, and direct contact with your project manager.
Can changes be made once construction has started?
Changes are possible, but they may impact the timeline and cost. It is best to decide on as many of the details as possible during the design phase so as to avoid changes during constrction, which can be costly. We’ll always communicate any implications clearly before proceeding.
How do you handle unexpected issues?
Renovations can sometimes uncover unforeseen conditions. When that happens, we address them promptly and discuss solutions with you before moving forward.
Will there be progress walkthroughs?
Yes. We schedule walkthroughs at key stages to keep you informed and ensure everything meets your expectations.
What happens during the final walkthrough?
At the end of your project, we walk through the space with you to review all work and ensure everything meets our standards — and yours.
What if something needs adjustment after completion?
If anything requires attention, we’ll address it promptly. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we stand behind our work.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes. We offer warranty coverage on our work, giving you peace of mind after your renovation is complete.
Will I receive care or maintenance guidance?
Absolutely. We provide guidance on how to care for your new space so it stays in great condition for years to come.
Who do I contact after the project is finished?
You can always reach out to our team with any questions or concerns after completion — we’re here to help.
Do you offer ongoing home care or maintenance services?
We can provide recommendations or discuss ongoing support depending on your need.
How much does a renovation typically cost?
This is difficult to provide a range as it varies greatly anywhere from $10,000 to $1,000,000.
Do you offer fixed-price quotes?
Yes. Once the design is complete, we provide a fixed-price quote to minimize surprises during construction.
Do you handle permits and approvals?
