Typically, the fall is the perfect time for homeowners to begin planning their home remodeling projects. With the excitement of summer events behind them, they have a bit more time to consider the goals they have for their home.
One of the biggest questions they have for us is, "When can we start?"
After 52 years of providing award-winning remodeling projects and client experiences, we have a pretty solid idea of what our clients should expect from working with us. Let's walk through a few of the more popular remodeling project types, their typical timelines, and how they develop along throughout our process!
