We measure, take photos and watch how you move through the house. It takes about an hour and a half. A written scope follows.

The floor under the room, how far things move, the materials, the number of openings and the approvals the house needs. The pricing page explains each.

For plumbing, structure, new openings and many ramps, yes. We file it, and send your association what it needs.

A rail can take a day. A bathroom takes weeks. Made-to-order windows and doors add weeks before the work starts. The scope has the schedule.

It can. Federal rules for lead-safe work practices apply to paid work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978.

Tell us the year on the first call, and the scope will say how the work is handled.

Our own carpenters and project manager, plus licensed electricians and plumbers for their trades. You'll know each name before they arrive.
