Questions, answered honestly

It depends on scope far more than square footage. The largest single factor is whether anything moves: a kitchen that stays in place prices very differently from one where plumbing relocates and a wall comes out. We visit, measure, look at what is behind the walls, and give you a written scope and price. Our cost guide breaks the tiers down.

Because a number given before seeing the space will change — and a number that changes later is worse than no number at all. On site we can see the age of the plumbing, where the joists run, whether the slab has been cut before, and what the electrical panel can carry.

A bathroom is typically two to four weeks, a kitchen three to six, a whole home one to six months. Condo projects add board approval before anything starts. Full timeline breakdown here.

Yes. We prepare the drawings, make the submission, coordinate the engineer where structural work is involved and manage the inspections. The permit is pulled under our own Florida Certified General Contractor license, CGC1542389. It is managed for you, not handed back to you.

If anything is relocated, reconfigured or altered — plumbing, electrical or ventilation — then yes. Swapping a fixture in the same position often does not. The Miami-Dade rules explained.

For a single room, usually yes — we seal off the work area and clean the site at the end of every day. For a whole-home renovation we will tell you honestly whether staying is realistic rather than promising it and making you regret it in week three.

You hear about it the same day, with photographs and options. Cast-iron waste lines, aluminum wiring and previous water damage are all common in homes of a certain age here. What is not acceptable is finding out on the final invoice.

Regularly. Board approval packages, the certificates of insurance the association requires, acoustic flooring specifications, elevator scheduling and restricted work hours are all part of what we handle. Our condo guide covers the full list.

Yes, frequently. We can also handle design in-house if you would rather have one point of responsibility for both design and build.

Payments follow completed work, tied to milestones, with a meaningful final payment held until the punch list is closed. We do not ask for large deposits up front.
