Frequently Asked Renovation Questions
Do you help with selecting items like showers, faucets, and paint colours?
Yes, we do. Our team will guide you in choosing high-quality, visually appealing products for your home. During the initial quote, we base our estimate on fixtures similar to those already in your home. If you prefer a different look for the renovated space, we can provide an item checklist to help you choose products from local retailers. To make the process easier and less stressful, we’re happy to bring samples to you if needed.
Do you apply for permits?
Yes, we typically handle the permit application process on your behalf. However, if preferred, clients can also choose to obtain the necessary permits themselves.
Do you provide engineering services if requested?
Yes, we do. We work closely with trusted engineers and can arrange their services as needed for various types of projects.
Why do contractor prices vary so much?
Contractor pricing often differs based on experience, qualifications, and the quality of work provided. Many professional companies employ certified journeyman tradespeople, which can increase costs but ensures higher standards. While some may offer lower bids, they may lack the expertise or reliability. We are confident that our pricing and service deliver better value than unqualified contractors. Always research the company you’re hiring—Google is a great place to start!
Will you clean up after the job is complete?
Yes, cleanup is an essential part of our service. Our team makes every effort to keep your renovation area tidy throughout the project. Before flooring is installed, all surfaces are thoroughly vacuumed. At the end of the job, we vacuum the entire area and wipe down all finishes. While some fine dust may still appear in the days following completion, we recommend scheduling a furnace cleaning to remove any remaining dust. We’re also happy to arrange furnace cleaning for you upon request.
Do you carry all required insurance and Workers' Compensation coverage?
Yes, we’re fully insured with all necessary policies, including WCB coverage, for complete protection on every job.
Do you handle smaller projects like carpet installation or baseboard replacement, or just full renovations?
Absolutely! We handle everything from complete renovations to single-item repairs – whether it’s new carpet, baseboards, or any other update your home or business needs.
Do you handle office improvements?
Yes! We specialize in both residential and commercial interior upgrades, including complete office renovations, layout changes, and cosmetic updates.
How will the paint be applied to my property?
We use professional-grade brushes, rollers, and spray equipment. The best method is chosen based on your surfaces, paint type, and project needs—we’ll explain our approach before starting.
What should we do before our renovation/basement development begins?
To ensure a smooth and safe project, please prepare your space by:
- Clearing all work areas – Remove furniture, decor, and personal items
- Securing fragile belongings – Store breakables and valuables elsewhere
- Emptying surfaces – Clear tables, shelves, and floors completely
- Providing clear access – Ensure pathways are open for our team and materials
This protects both your belongings and our crew while allowing efficient work. We’ll handle the rest!
How should I prepare my home before painting or flooring installation?
For best results, please prepare your space by completing these steps:
- Clear all fragile items – Remove breakables, decor, and valuables from the work area.
- Take down wall hangings – Remove pictures, mirrors, and artwork.
- Prepare wall surfaces – Remove nails/hangers if you want those areas patched.
- Clear floors completely – For flooring projects, remove all furniture and rugs
This preparation helps us work safely and efficiently while protecting your belongings.
