Question 1

How does a fixed-price proposal work if you don't know what's behind the walls yet?

Accepted Answer

We do a thorough on-site assessment and write the proposal against a detailed allowance sheet, so the price is locked before demo day. If we open a wall and find a genuine surprise - old knob-and-tube wiring, hidden water damage, balloon framing - we stop, show you the photo and your options, and you decide before we touch it. There are no quiet change orders, and you always know exactly where the budget stands.

Question 2

How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel actually take?

Accepted Answer

Most full bathroom renovations run about three to five weeks once we're on site, and a gutted kitchen typically runs six to ten weeks depending on cabinetry and stone lead times. Whole-home renovations and additions are longer and we schedule them in sequenced phases. We give you a real calendar at the proposal stage and send dated progress photos after every build day so the timeline never goes dark on you.

Question 3

Do you pull the permits and handle inspections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We pull every required Metro or county permit and schedule the inspections as part of your project - it's never something you have to chase. In historic-overlay neighborhoods like East Nashville or older parts of Franklin, we prepare the review-board submittals too, because we already know what those boards require before we quote your job.

Question 4

What's covered by your 10-year workmanship warranty?

Accepted Answer

Every renovation we build carries a written 10-year workmanship warranty covering the labor and craftsmanship of what we installed. If something fails because of how we built it, our own carpenters come back and make it right - no finger-pointing at a sub. The warranty also transfers to the next owner if you sell, which is a real selling point at closing. Manufacturer warranties on appliances and fixtures run separately and we register those for you.

Question 5

Can I stay in my home while you renovate?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes - and most of our clients do. We build temporary dust walls to seal off the work zone, cover floors and pathways, run negative-air containment where it's needed, and sweep the site clean before the crew leaves each evening. For a single-room remodel that's very manageable. For a whole-home gut we'll talk honestly about whether staying put makes sense for your family.

Question 6

Why does it matter that you have your own carpenters instead of subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

Because the finish work is what you see and touch every day. The same in-house crew runs your job from framing through trim, so the joinery, the cabinetry, and the built-ins are held to one standard instead of whoever bid lowest that week. Our cabinets and built-ins come out of our own millwork shop with face-frame joinery, soft-close hardware, and a hand-applied finish - built to the inch for your space.

Question 7

Do you provide 3D renderings before the work starts?

Accepted Answer

Yes - it's a core part of how we work. Before we order a single thing, your designer renders the new space in 3D so you can see the layout, the cabinetry, the tile, and the lighting as a finished room. You approve the look and the fixed price together, which is exactly why our clients tell us the finished space matched what they were shown.

Question 8

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

We do. Qualified homeowners can spread a kitchen, bath, or whole-home renovation across low monthly payments on approved credit, so a dated space doesn't have to wait for the perfect cash moment. Your designer will walk through the current rates and terms at your consultation, right alongside your fixed-price proposal and allowance sheet.
