Question 1

Can you take out a load-bearing wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is some of the work we do most. The wall is replaced with a beam sized for the span, carried on posts and footings that reach the foundation. Temporary supports hold the roof while it is done. You get a plan for it before we touch the wall.

Question 2

How long will a whole-home remodel take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how much of the house is open at once. A kitchen and bath can run a couple of months. A full interior remodel or an addition takes longer, often several months. You get a written schedule before work begins, and we tell you early if anything shifts.

Question 3

Do we have to move out?

Accepted Answer

Not for most kitchen or bath jobs. We seal off the work area and keep a path through the house. For a whole-home remodel, where floors, power and water are off for stretches, many families rent somewhere for part of it. We talk it through up front.

Question 4

What do you find in houses from the 1960s to the 1980s?

Accepted Answer

Walls that carry more than they appear to, old drain lines, outdated wiring and floors that have settled. None of it is unusual here. We check early and plan the framing around it so it does not turn into a surprise mid-job.

Question 5

Can you add a bedroom or a second story to our house?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. We look at what the existing walls and foundation can support, and what the lot allows. An addition is framed to tie into the old roofline, so from the street it looks like the house was always that size.

Question 6

How does an estimate work?

Accepted Answer

Call or send the form. We come out, walk the rooms, look at how the house is built and talk through what you want. A written scope with prices by line follows, usually within about a week. The visit costs nothing.
