Does every remodeling job need a permit?
Building codes have been established by most cities, towns and countries. They vary considerably from one jurisdiction to another. A building permit generally is required whenever structural work is involved or when the basic living area of the home is to be changed. A professional who works in your city or town every day will know the local requirements.
How long does it take to get an estimate?
Our goal is to be on-site for a consult either the same day or within 48 hours pending geographic location. Written estimates are provided for all work.
What about materials?
Important materials are specified in the contract. All materials are covered, however, as substitutions are sometimes unavoidable (lots of bricks run out, for example, colors of materials are sometimes no longer made), we make it clear that an equal substitution will be made but only upon your approval. For items such as lighting fixtures or doorknobs that you have not chosen when the contract is signed, a budget is determined in the contract to cover exactly what will be spent on them
How do you handle lead paint?
Any home constructed prior to 1978 falls under the federal RRP rule. It is enforced at the federal level. Massachusetts enforces it at the state level as well. We are licensed to comply with all federal and state requirements.
How do you handle the dirty work ?
We aim to leave the job site cleaner than when we arrived. Of course, what we do can be dirty. We tarp our work area, broom sweep and magnetic broom sweep the work area to get any possible debris. We also provide porta potties where applicable.
Do you use sub-contractors?
Sometimes we do but almost all of our subcontractors have been part of our company for many many years.
