"In addition to doing the job I needed, Andrew pointed out two areas in my natural gas utility that were less than safe. His estimate included those fixes, and it was more reasonably priced than expected. Thanks Andrew."

Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. We have accurate knowledge of all trades combined. This ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.
"Without Tom this project would have not only taken longer, but cost way more money from various mistakes or items missed. The code enforcement on my project was unreal and the nitty gritty of stuff they wanted done was never explained from the township and just pushed onto him to figure out, which he did! His prices and timeline are broken down in such an honest way which is not an easy thing to find these days. Tom stuck with me for about 6 months while I worked through some prior permitting processes and other issues before he could get involved and answered many questions along the way to make sure I was not going to hit a failure point. I could not have asked for a better guy to work with. Any issue that might have come up was correctly quickly and effectively. This was an easy review to write, just look how clean and neat that insulation and coverage on the ceiling is!"

Start by asking a local contractor, architect, or interior designer for a detailed line‑item estimate. These pros can price out labor, materials, permits, and any specialty work, then flag areas where you can save. Once you have that breakdown, add 20% to the total to cover potential surprises, such as hidden water damage or code upgrades. This approach gives you a realistic budget before the first hammer swings.
In most cases, remodeling wins on price. Because you’re reusing the existing structure, you avoid foundation work, framing an entire shell, and many permit fees. Unless the home has severe structural problems, updating what you already own is the more budget‑friendly route than building an entirely new house from scratch.
Home renovation timelines hinge on scope. Cosmetic updates—such as new paint, fixtures, or flooring—can be completed in a few days or weeks. A multi-room gut renovation that involves moving walls or utilities can stretch to six months, and adding square footage can push the schedule past a year. Good planning and a clear contractor schedule help keep projects on track, so be sure to build extra time into the calendar for permit reviews and unforeseen repairs.
Before your home renovation work begins, contact your insurance agent to confirm that your current policy covers the project. Standard homeowners insurance usually protects against fire or storm damage during construction, but bigger upgrades—adding square footage, high‑end finishes, or new systems—can raise your home’s value beyond existing limits. If coverage falls short, ask about a renovation rider or a policy increase so you’re fully protected from day one to final walkthrough.
