Questions homeowners ask before they sign

What does the estimate include?

A walkthrough of the house, then a written scope with a fixed price for the work described, line by line. Permit fees and allowances sit on their own lines so you can see what the city charges and what is still to be chosen. Nothing is priced from a photo.

How firm is the price?

The number on the estimate is the number on the contract. It moves only when the scope moves, and the scope moves only on a written change order you sign before the extra work starts.

Who pulls the permits?

We do, in our name, and we meet the inspector. The schedule you get has the inspection days on it, because a missed inspection is the most common reason a job slips a week.

How do you protect the rest of the house?

Zipper walls and plastic at the work zone, floor protection on the path in, a filter on the return air while we are cutting, and a sweep at the end of every day. The rooms we are not touching stay the way you left them.

When do I pay?

A deposit to hold the start date and order long lead materials, progress payments tied to milestones named in the contract, and the final payment after the walkthrough, once every item on the punch list is closed. Never the full amount up front.

One crew, one job at a time.

Ray Kessler

A schedule you can plan around is worth more than the lowest number on the estimate.

I ran crews for eleven years before I put my own name on a truck. We take one job at a time, we start when we say we will, and the same person who priced your work is the one you call when you have a question about it.
