FAQ

Answering Your Remodeling Concerns in Trenton and the Downriver Area

Obviously, you can’t use your toilet if it’s been removed and is out in the yard. The same applies to your countertops. We’ll give you several days’ notice if either your bathroom or kitchen will be temporarily unavailable. This way, you’ll have plenty of time to make alternative arrangements.

While having more workers means more tasks can be done simultaneously, it isn’t always advised in a given workspace. No one wants to be working over each other after all! We make sure that we send a team that is balanced around the cost and timeline of a project.

Inspectors can have varied interpretations of codes that lead to work failing or passing, depending on the inspector. If our work fails for any reason, we’ll make the needed updates at no cost to you.

Most, if not all, cities have ordinances that prohibit leaving any materials on the sidewalk, boulevard, or curbside. Therefore, we have supplies unloaded on your driveway. If you prefer, items can be placed on your lawn upon request, although this may result in some lawn damage.
