    Answer: Building codes are established by cities, towns and states. They vary considerably. A building permit generally is required whenever structural work to the home, garage or other main buildings is involved. We will comply with your local requirements.

  13. What is the difference between a professional remodeler and a builder who does remodeling?

    Answer: According to NARI (The National Association Of The Remodeling Industry), there are stark differences. Builders start from the ground up, with a start-to-finish plan, and they are used to working with the radio on and leaving a trail of debris. But in a remodeling situation, you sometimes don’t know what the underlying structure holds until you break through the walls. Builders are not going to be aware of structural peculiarities. They may have to change plans. Or the client may change plans as the work progresses. Maybe only cabinets facings instead of all new cabinets. Builders are not used to communicating on such a detailed level with the client. Nor are they accustomed to the delicacy of making alterations within an inhabited structure. Furthermore, a builder is a structural thinker. A remodeler is a designer, who incorporates aesthestics into the design concept. Not only will your home become more functional, but it will be beautiful. Then there is cost: How does a builder know what to charge for doing only a portion of a home? A remodeler is used to estimating small jobs. The job will be priced on target. And the time estimate will be much more accurate as well.

  14. What questions should I ask a remodeler?

    Answer: According to NARI, time and money are the main concerns fo a client. In the Time category, things to inquire about include how long the job will take, when is the starting date and estimated end date, when will the contractors be at your door every day, when will they leave every night, are they going to work every day, can a job be promised to be finished before a special event. Money concerns may include the total cost, any hidden fees for permits and transportation costs, how much per square foot. Just as importantly, you want to know who is going to be in your home. NARI recommends asking how long the remodeler has been in business, if they are licensed, insured and bonded, will there be a job supervisor and will that person be onsite, do they subcontract any of the work out to another company, how many of the employees are certified, and if they are members of any trade associations (because these associations regulate their members). Also, ask for a list of client references, builder referrals and suppliers. Finally, trust your instincts. A good remodeler will be honest, upright and forthright in his efforts to provide answers to all your questions.
