Common questions

What homeowners ask before they sign

Real questions from real consultations. If yours isn’t here, ask it on the call.

How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom renovation take?
Kitchen builds average 8–10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Bathrooms run 4–6 weeks. Both numbers assume permits are pulled on schedule and we aren’t waiting on long-lead custom cabinetry. We publish your build calendar in JobTread before construction starts, so you always know what week you’re in.
Who handles permits and inspections?
We do. Every permit application, every inspector visit, every code conversation with the township. Our Michigan Residential Builder’s License is on file with each of the six counties we serve, and we know the building department staff in Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Plymouth, and the rest of our active markets.
Do we need to move out during construction?
Almost never for kitchens or bathrooms. We set up dust barriers, protect adjacent floors, and stage temporary kitchen access when needed. Whole-home renovations are the exception. We’ll tell you straight at the design phase whether your scope makes living in-home reasonable.
What happens if you find something unexpected behind the walls?
We carry a documented contingency in every proposal for hidden conditions. Knob-and-tube wiring, rotted subfloor, undersized return ducts, old galvanized plumbing. When something appears, you get photos, three options with priced fixes, and a recommendation within 24 hours. Work doesn’t restart until you sign off.
Do you offer financing?
We work with two preferred lenders for home equity lines and renovation-specific loans. The application is handled directly through them; we don’t take referral fees. Most six-figure projects close with a combination of cash, HELOC, or a 203K-style renovation product. Financing options walks through the details.
What’s your warranty?
Two years on craftsmanship, manufacturer warranties pass through to you on every product. We schedule a one-year warranty walkthrough at project handoff, so the appointment is on the calendar before we leave the site. Most issues get fixed in a single visit.
Are you licensed and insured in Michigan?
Michigan Residential Builder’s License #2102236887. General liability and worker’s comp on file with each county we operate in. Certificates available before contract signing. We’ve never had a claim filed against the company.

Design philosophy

A renovation should feel like the house was always meant to be this way.

Design before demolition

Most contractors treat design as a step they have to get through. We treat it as the work. Before a single wall comes down, you’ll see 3D renderings, signed-off material specs, and a fixed-scope build calendar. It’s the heart of our design-build process.

It costs more time upfront. It costs less in change orders, surprise budgets, and the regret of finishing a project and realizing the layout still doesn’t quite work.

Built for the long version of the story

Trends are easy. A space that still feels right in twelve years is harder. We pull from the era of the house, the bones of the neighborhood, and the way you actually live now to find the version that ages well.

That’s why we say no to certain finishes, even when clients ask for them. Honesty is part of the work.

“The kitchen that gets remodeled twice in twenty years is more expensive than the one designed correctly the first time. Our entire job is making sure you only do this once.”
