Free estimates. May hire sub contractors. Charges by the job or hour depending on the job. No travel/trip charges.
"My son and I bought a house in Bozeman. Darren converted a basement utility room into a beautiful secondary kitchen. He was easy and straightforward to work with and we were thrilled with the results. A couple of years later, my son had a refrigerator leak that caused extensive damage to the kitchen upstairs and downstairs. This incident was compounded by a back up in the downstairs sewer line ruining the bathroom tile and flooring in the in several rooms downstairs. A restoration company I had been working with totally ignored us for months! In desperation, I contacted Darren and he stepped right in and came to our rescue. He communicated effectively and quickly with our insurance agent and with us. He restored all the areas in a matter of weeks to new condition. I can’t recommend Darren enough. If you are looking for: *Value for your money, *Skilled and quality workmanship, *Integrity, honesty, and respect, then Darren is your man."

The 30% rule serves as a guideline suggesting that renovation costs should not exceed 30% of your home's current market value. This principle helps prevent over-investing in improvements that the market may not fully reward upon resale.
For example, if your property is valued at $200,000, keeping your renovation budget under $60,000 provides better financial returns. However, this rule should be balanced with your personal goals and how long you plan to remain in the home.
A $50,000 budget can effectively transform several spaces if carefully allocated. This amount covers a moderate kitchen refresh combined with a bathroom update, or several less complex rooms like bedrooms and living areas.
Your geographic location, material choices, and the extent of structural changes significantly impact what this budget can accomplish. Focusing on cosmetic improvements rather than major layout changes helps maximize your investment across multiple spaces.
Labor constitutes the largest expense in multi-room remodels, accounting for 40% to 70% of total costs. Kitchen and bathroom spaces demand the highest investment due to their specialized fixtures, cabinetry requirements, and necessary plumbing work.
Premium materials such as natural stone countertops, hardwood flooring, and custom cabinetry also significantly increase project costs. Strategic budgeting that balances splurges and savings helps manage these high-cost elements effectively.
Most multi-room remodeling projects require three to six months from start to completion, though complex renovations may extend longer. The process follows a necessary sequence of demolition, structural work, mechanical rough-ins, finishing, and final detailing.
Timeline variables include material availability, contractor scheduling, inspection delays, and unexpected conditions discovered during construction. Establishing clear communication with your contractor and making prompt decisions helps maintain momentum throughout the project.
Begin with foundational and structural modifications that affect multiple spaces before progressing to individual rooms. Address "wet" areas like kitchens and bathrooms next, as these involve the most complex work with plumbing and specialized installations. Complete bedrooms and living spaces last to prevent damage to newly finished areas.
This logical progression minimizes redundant work and creates at least one functional living zone throughout the renovation process. Coordinating related work across different spaces also improves efficiency and potentially reduces costs.
