Question 1

What is the process of starting a home renovation project?

Accepted Answer

First, our founder Quentin will briefly discuss your project with you over the phone or email to understand what you're looking to do and where you're at in your decision-making so we can help guide you to the right place to get started. This is also a great time to ask any questions you might have for us.

Next, Quentin visits your home to take a look at your project space, taking measurements and noting any potential advantages or complications in place. Based on this visit, we'll send you an itemized estimated project cost and timeline within three business days. Once you review and approve this estimate, we can schedule in the project start date.

Question 2

How much will a renovation project cost?

Accepted Answer

We work on a big range of project sizes. A small rot repair could be a few hundred dollars, a whole high-end living space conversion could be $250,000. Most of our single-room home renovation projects range from $18,000-70,000.

We strongly recommend you share your rough project budget range with us from the start. This helps us align on your cost expectations. We work on projects ranging from low-cost stock materials through to custom high-end finishes. While we encourage clients to choose quality materials that will last longer for your investment and we advise accordingly, we understand this isn't the price point for everyone. Therefore, letting us know your priority of cost vs. longevity from the start will help us best help you!

Question 3

What timing should I expect when taking on a home renovation project with you?

Accepted Answer

We're fortunate to be a tight-knit team in high demand, so we tend to schedule new projects somewhat far in advance. Usually, 2-3 months out, so if you're considering working with us, get in touch sooner rather than later!

Once a project is going, we generally take 2-3 weeks to complete it, with 2-3 team members on site for at least half of most of those days.

Question 4

What should I know about your project estimates?

Accepted Answer

We aim to be as transparent about pricing as possible. The estimates we write for potential clients break down the projected costs for labor, materials, any subcontracted services (such as an electrician) and all items that these include. We can work with a range of budgets, depending on the complexity, material quality, and longevity of finish you're looking for. To help us best help you, it's good to have a number in mind of what you're comfortable spending so we can best align with you on the level of material and labor costs ideal for your project.

Question 5

What happens if plans change after approving an estimate?

Accepted Answer

Things happen! We try to remain as transparent and flexible as possible. It's not common that we need to adjust costs partially through a project, but sometimes there are unexpected major hidden damage or rot we find when we start getting into things. If something does come up, we speak with you in the first instance and explain what happens if we do or don't address the issue, the decisions available to you, and any unplanned costs these decisions might incur. Again, this fortunately doesn't happen very often! Most issues of this scale are visible upon initial consultation.
