You Asked – We Answered!
1. What Should I Look For In A Remodeling Company?
Make sure to choose a remodeling company that will EXCEED your expectations. Here are the top five things to look out for when selecting the company that will be tasked with transforming your home in or near Chicago: a. Reliable reputation: What are previous customers saying about this company? Did they win any awards? The answers to these questions can tell you A LOT about a company’s reputation. Positive reviews, awards, and case studies all lend credence to a company’s claims of excellence. b. Exemplary employees: Find out about the company’s hiring process. Do they hire any available subcontractors/employees, or are they meticulous about hiring individuals with the right values and work experience? This can mean the difference between a B- remodeling job and an A+ remodel. c. Perfected process: A remodeling company might have excellent products and workmanship, but if the company is managed poorly, the customer will suffer the consequences. Make sure the remodeling company you hire has a capable administrative team in place. d. Watertight warranty: A solid warranty will give you peace of mind – and it will also tell you whether a company is confident enough to stand behind its work. Make sure the remodeling company you choose believes in what they do. e. Careful craftsmanship: Sloppy work has costly – and super frustrating – consequences for homeowners. Choose a remodeling company that is careful to use superior products, follows all installation standards, and is known for meticulous workmanship.

3. What Is Your Remodeling Process For Kitchens, Bathrooms, And Basements?
We have a 100% hassle-free five-step process for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements: a. In-home consultation: Our project consultant will meet with you in your home to gather information about your project, your product preferences, your goals for your kitchen, and your preferred kitchen layout. We’ll also review the final scope of work involved in your project and go over the budget (should this be just your goals for your project and your preferred project layout). b. Design kickoff: Our designers will meet with you to discuss the project layout, design options, and product selections. They’ll begin to develop the floor plan of your space. They’ll also create a spreadsheet with your product selections based on what your budget allows. c. Product selection: The design team will meet with you in our showroom to discuss your product selections and design plan. During this phase, we’ll review your product selections and make any necessary adjustments. d. Final approval: During this phase, our design team will compile your finalized product selections and their corresponding prices in spreadsheet format. The team will email you the spreadsheet and request that you review all the costs and submit your approval or requested changes. e. Sign-off: Once we receive your final approval, you can order your chosen products. We’ll follow up on the status of your products to ensure that your project starts on time. At this point, the project is transferred to our management and production team. They’ll schedule a walk-through of your home and set the start date for construction.

8. What Determines The Cost Of My Remodel?
We offer “better” and “best” remodeling options that differ in scope and in price. The cost of your remodel is directly related to the extent of work you choose to have done. For example, if we’ll be tearing down walls and restructuring your home, that will cost more than a surface-level remodel that doesn’t include structural changes.
