General Questions

While the answer is always, “That depends…” Most interior remodeling projects, including kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, take 8-12 weeks from the start of deconstruction to completion. Additions take longer, typically 12-16 weeks, depending on size and scope.

Asking about remodeling costs is like asking, “How much does a red car cost?” It depends on the size, features, and level of luxury you want. The same applies to remodeling. Costs vary based on the scope of work, materials, and design choices. Many kitchen remodels also include updates to adjacent areas, such as flooring, railings, powder rooms, or mudrooms.

Below are typical price ranges for our projects:

  • Kitchens: $65,000–$120,000
  • Hall bathrooms or powder rooms: $15,000–$30,000
  • Master bathrooms: $35,000–$50,000
  • Basement finishing: $60,000–$120,000

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is a fully synthetic flooring option designed to look like wood. It’s can be water-resistant or water proof, is low-maintenance, and budget-friendly, making it a great choice for families, pets, or moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or basements.

Engineered hardwood has a real wood veneer on top of a plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF) core. It offers the authentic look and feel of hardwood at a more affordable price than solid wood floors. It’s also more stable, meaning it’s less likely to warp or swell due to seasonal humidity changes. Some engineered floors can even be refinished depending on the veneer thickness.

Each option has its strengths. LVP is ideal for durability and ease of care, while engineered hardwood provides natural beauty with a touch of craftsmanship.

Quartz is an engineered product made from crushed quartz and resin. Since it’s manufactured, it has consistent colors and patterns. It is non-porous, making it stain-resistant and low-maintenance.
