A new home construction project or a major home renovation can be a very stressful experience or it can be a very enjoyable one. With our clients we have found that those who take a little more time making decisions at the beginning of the project have a much better experience overall.

Construction projects do not always go smoothly, surprises do come up and mistakes will be made. We feel that clients hire good contractors to handle the hiccups. If everything always went smoothly why would you even need to hire a Qualified Licensed Contractor? Wouldn’t you just do it yourself?

Building or renovating a home can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Unfortunately, it’s common to hear about projects that have not gone well. These jobs cause the owners all types of stress and can be totally avoided with proper planning and communication. More often than not, the stress is caused by budget concerns. Either the original budget was incorrect from the start or what often happens is the level of materials quoted are not what the homeowner was envisioning. We have a very different approach.
