"I've known Kevin for years since he has helped me renovate rooms in both my homes. When we needed to replace the flooring in my basement, I knew who to call. Taylor Made installed a new waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring so that I don't have to worry about the durability of my floor if we have family over to visit. The whole process went smoothly since I was provided samples and a detailed explanation of the product. The installers were polite, as always, and everything was completed within a few hours. I plan to work with Taylor Made again when I ready for my next project."

"After extensive research I finally decided on Cabinet Restoration based on all of the positive, glowing reviews and my initial meeting with the owner, Pete. I decided on new drawer and cabinet fronts along with the boxes being redone with new veneer. I was confident the job would be completed professionally with a high quality outcome. Unfortunately, that was not the case. If Pete tells you he will leave you in the very capable hands of Rob, tell him no, you want someone else. Rob did a very poor job, he was dishonest, deceptive and had no regard for my house. · Several times I had to clean urine off my bathroom floor. There are no men in my house · I had clean what looked like either paint or caulk off the bathroom sink handles · I had to clean what appeared to be coffee that was poured into bathroom sink · Rug I put in kitchen because it was snowy, I asked if he didn’t need, please roll up and put aside. Instead the rug was dumped into the dining room along with all of the debris from the rug · The day the job was finished when I came home to meet with Rob, he was not in his truck, he was not in the kitchen, he WAS wondering in the house somewhere · Didn’t bother telling me when he blew fuses · Added shims atop my dishwasher under brand new counter. I have no idea why. Now, coincidently, dishwasher leaks. The list of problems with the work performed : · I pointed out a scratch and was told, “oh that was caulk, it is gone”. Right in front of me he pretended to fix it. I opened the cabinet and it was still there · Sink front hung crooked · Lazy Susan doors hung crooked · two square corners were not square because the corners had been chipped off · seems had glopped on paint the appeared to be covering the jagged, chipped seem edges · veneer inside a cabinet was mounted over top of microwave bolts, not around them · a new cabinet front has what appears to be a puncture mark protruding from the inside out · behind one drawer front the veneer is cracked completely from left to right · all of the cabinets where caulk was placed need to be cleaned of the excess caulk that is smeared around Initially Pete did tell me there would be minor imperfections if I look closely. Everything I was seeing did not need a close examination. When reviewing the job on the last day, I said I wanted the scratch fixed. Pete offered me either a credit of $175, or they would order new veneer and come fix it. I told Pete I did not want Rob back in my house. Pete apologized and then offered me a credit of $1500, “that means I will charge only my cost”. That may work for them, but I spent thousands of dollars and I am stuck with a subpar job. I am the one in the hole and very disappointed. It has been about six weeks and I still can’t figure how to mend all of this. The biggest disappointment was Pete never offered to look at the job, or send someone other than Rob to fix everything."

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.
