Frequently Asked Questions
How do you figure out pricing?
The projects that we do are customized to your design to fit your home. In order to remain competitive, we follow the standard formula of labor, plus materials, plus overhead. So, for every project we offer a free estimate.

Well, it's a lot like asking what a pizza will cost...
Where are you ordering it from? What size would you like? Thin or thick crust? You want pepperoni on half?
We will work with you to figure out the variables and get you the best deal for your project.

Take a little time to research your particular project so that you can gauge the competency of your contractor. Don't be afraid to ask questions! An open line of communication will save SO many headaches on both sides. We are here to not only guide you through your project, but a good contractor will also educate you along the way.
Pinterest, HGTV and Instagram says you can re trim my entire house for $500.

Your project is custom to your needs and our transparent pricing will reflect that so you can rest assured there won't be any surprises.

Detailed descriptions and pictures help a lot during the initial correspondence, but I really feel that the best way to approach any project is to meet with a client on site to get a sense of their thoughts and ideas about the project. That way, we can work together to make sure that the job is done right the first time, every time
