"We had a bath redo. Took out the old tub and installed a walk-in shower with new fixtures. The result was finished in one day and everything was cleaned up and ready to go by days end. The installer was clean and neat and took care of all cleanup. We have used it for 4 months and very pleased.

CWE Renovations is ready to turn your project into a reality - no dream is out of reach! Our team of expert remodelers will give a thorough assessment & estimate for your project. Call today to get on our schedule!
"Our experience with CWE Renovations has been marked by a troubling lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer service. Despite having a comprehensive record of issues spanning nine pages, we will have to summarize the key points here to provide a clear picture of why we strongly advise against using this contractor. Project Timeline and Delays: We were initially given an estimated completion timeline of approximately 12 weeks for our basement renovation. Contrary to this, the project has now extended well beyond 18 weeks. We were assured on two separate occasions (6/27 and 7/11) that only two weeks of work remained. Unfortunately, scheduling has been disorganized, with no clear plan to ensure tasks are completed consecutively. For instance, the electrician's work remains pending with no definitive schedule, and the carpet installation, scheduled for August 19th, was delayed due to the contractor's failure to arrange for measurement until July 26th (despite us inquiring about this since 6/27). Communication and Accountability Issues: Our attempts to gather accurate information and resolve issues have gone ignored. We discovered discrepancies when we contacted Waste Management regarding the pickup of our bagsters, only to find no record of an order. Additionally, a metal rack has been left for 2.5 weeks in our driveway due to the contractor's failure to follow up with Home Depot immediately upon it being left behind by mistake. More concerning, we found that the electrician listed on our permit had no involvement with our project. Upon investigation, we learned that the permit was improperly filed under a business' name, and the electrician ,who worked for the business, was only working on our project as a side job, potentially jeopardizing their professional standing. Overall Experience: The most disappointing aspect has been the lack of communication and ownership. We are left with an incomplete basement and are now seeking a refund for the portions of the project that have not been completed as promised. Given these significant issues, we strongly recommend avoiding CWE Renovations for any renovation projects. Our experience underscores serious concerns regarding their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. Everything incomplete as 8/12 (18 weeks after the start date with a 12 week estimate): Electrician to finish outlets, lights, light switches, etc (no eta) â we paid for on 7/30 Carpet Installed (given a date of 8/19 which is completely unacceptable when we have been asking about this since 6/27) we paid for on 7/30 requesting this refunded since Carpet Installation Guy does not want to work with Dan and quoted us almost half to install Trim completed around stairs and in bathroom - Paid Metal Rack Removed from Doors (Offered to reach out myself since Dan doesn't seem to have any urgency in it) -Requesting Dan cover the cost to remove on 8/15 Garbage Removed (two bagsters) We paid for on 2/26 Door Installed over the breaker box Lien Waivers from Plumber, HVAC, Electrician Railing on the stairs (which we have made clear we do not want this in until carpet is installed so we can get our couch downstairs) Paid on 4/12 invoice"

When your kitchen renovation includes major modifications, you’ll likely need to apply for one or more permits. The cost of building permits typically ranges from $450 to $2,400. Don’t forget to factor in the timescales for application and approval. Electrical and plumbing permits are sometimes issued immediately, while structural applications can take 4 to 6 weeks to process. Always consult with relevant local parties, as permit requirements vary by state and city; you may need separate plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural work permits. You rarely need a permit to complete the work for basic remodels involving refacing cabinets, re-flooring, or re-tiling.
A kitchen remodel typically takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. The timeline depends on your project’s complexity, your experience level, and the size of your kitchen. Larger projects that involve structural changes, wall removals, and floor plan reconfiguration will take significantly longer than smaller remodels like installing new cabinets or countertops. The timeline can also vary depending on the number of hours you can dedicate to the project per day. For example, if you can only dedicate nights and weekends to the work, this’ll extend the timescale.
Cabinets are typically the most expensive component of a kitchen remodel. Even semi-custom cabinetry can cost $20,000 or more, depending on the size of your kitchen. If you want to save money on your kitchen remodel costs, consider just refacing your kitchen cabinets by putting in new doors and drawer fronts, for example, or just repainting them instead of installing new ones.
Cabinets are basically the building blocks of your kitchen; they take up the most space in the kitchen and are typically the first thing people notice when they walk in. Increasing their aesthetic value, therefore, has the potential to add the most value to your kitchen. Other features that’ll also add great value to your kitchen are energy-efficient appliances and durable and stylish countertops.
Remodeling a kitchen is, in most cases, worth the time, money, and effort. For starters, a great new kitchen can improve the livability and functionality of your home. Additionally, research shows that a kitchen remodel can return up to 60% to 80% of the money put into it, depending on the size of the remodel and location of the home or neighborhood.
