Interior & Whole Home Remodeling FAQs

1. What defines a "Whole Home Residential Remodeling" project? This involves significant updates to multiple rooms or major systems (kitchen, baths, living areas, etc.) and often includes structural changes or additions, rather than just cosmetic updates.

2. What is involved in "Creating Open Concept Living Spaces"? This primarily involves removing load-bearing or non-load-bearing interior walls to merge separate rooms (like a kitchen and living room). This requires installing structural support beams (headers).

3. How do you protect a home from construction dust during a full remodel? We use high-grade plastic barriers, zippered entryways.

4. What are the key benefits of updating Exterior Living Spaces? Exterior updates (patios, decks, outdoor kitchens) extend your usable living area, improve curb appeal, and provide excellent Outdoor Family Living Spaces who enjoy the outdoors.

5. How do you approach a project for Senior Living Conversions? We focus on aging-in-place design, including features like widening doorways, installing grab bars, building curbless showers, optimizing lighting, and improving accessibility throughout the home.

6. Do I need to move out during a Whole Home Remodel? For large-scale projects involving the kitchen, main baths, second story additions and living areas, we will strongly suggest clients choose to relocate temporarily to a rental for the duration of the construction phase.

7. What is the scope of a "Room Addition" versus an "Home Expansion"? A Room Addition adds a brand-new space (e.g., a sunroom). A Home Expansion enlarges an existing room by pushing out a wall (e.g., expanding the master closet into the yard).

8. Can I incorporate my existing furniture and style into the new design? Yes. Our design consultation includes integrating your existing pieces, art, and preferred aesthetic to ensure the renovated space feels personal and cohesive with your current style.

9. What is the first step for a large-scale project? Connect with Us to start with a detailed consultation to define your goals, budget range, and timeline. This will allow us to create a high-level scope and outline the necessary design and engineering work.
