Whole-home renovation costs vary significantly based on scope, size, and finishes. Premium renovations typically range from $200 to $500+ per square foot. A 3,000 sq ft luxury home renovation might range from $600,000 to $1.5M+. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your goals, existing conditions, and desired finishes.

What is your project management process?
Our project management includes detailed planning, transparent budgeting, permit coordination, trade scheduling, daily site supervision, quality control checks, regular client communication, and proactive problem-solving. You'll have a dedicated project manager who serves as your single point of contact throughout the renovation.
How do you handle unexpected issues during renovation?
Unexpected issues (hidden structural problems, outdated systems, etc.) can arise in any renovation. When encountered, we immediately notify you, provide solution options with cost/time implications, and seek your approval before proceeding. Our contingency planning and experienced team minimize surprises and handle issues efficiently when they occur.
Can you work within our budget?
We work with clients across various investment levels, though our specialty is premium and luxury renovations. During initial consultation, we'll discuss your budget, priorities, and goals to determine if we're the right fit. We provide transparent pricing, value engineering options when needed, and never compromise on structural integrity or code compliance.
What is your timeline for large renovation projects?
Timeline depends on project scope. Typical ranges: Whole-home renovations (4-9 months), home additions (3-6 months), basement finishing (2-4 months). We provide detailed timelines during planning and communicate regularly about progress. Our goal is on-time completion without sacrificing quality.
Do you help with design and material selection?
Yes, we provide design guidance and material selection assistance. While we're not architectural designers, we have extensive experience translating design concepts into reality and can recommend materials, finishes, and solutions based on your style, budget, and lifestyle. We also collaborate seamlessly with your designer or architect.
What permits and approvals do you handle?
We handle all building permits, zoning approvals, health department requirements (if applicable), and utility coordination. Our team knows local requirements throughout Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex Counties and maintains positive relationships with building officials, ensuring smooth approvals and inspections.
How do you ensure quality control?
Quality control is enforced through experienced project managers, regular site inspections, master-level craftsmen, adherence to building codes and industry standards, photo documentation, staged inspections, and a culture of excellence. We catch issues early and ensure every detail meets our high standards before declaring a phase complete.
Can we live in our home during renovation?
Depending on scope, many clients do remain in their homes during renovation. We can phase work to maintain livable spaces, use dust barriers, maintain bathroom/kitchen access when possible, and schedule around your needs. We'll discuss logistics during planning to determine the best approach for your situation.
What is your payment schedule for large projects?
We use milestone-based payment schedules tied to project progress. Typical structure: deposit at contract signing, payments at demolition complete, framing/rough-ins complete, drywall/finishes started, substantial completion, and final payment after walkthrough. Specific schedules are detailed in your contract and protect both parties.

We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating and proud NARI members. All our subcontractors are also licensed and insured. Documentation is available upon request.

You'll receive regular updates via your preferred method (text, email, phone), weekly progress meetings (if desired), photo updates, and immediate notification of any decisions needed. Your project manager is accessible and responsive throughout the renovation.
What happens after the project is complete?
After completion, we conduct a detailed walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction, provide all warranty documentation, share maintenance recommendations, and address any final touch-ups.
