BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Common questions.

Call us or include your question with the project photos in your quote request.

Can you install a bathroom vanity?

Yes. Vanity cabinet installation can be included in your renovation project. Send room photos, the cabinet size or model, and whether you need the existing unit removed. We’ll confirm the cabinet installation scope before quoting.

Can I combine several types of work?

Yes. Select “Multiple types of work” in the quote form and list the repairs or improvements you need. We’ll review them together and plan the sequence.

Do you work with property owners as well as homeowners?

Yes. We work on homes and rental properties. Let us know whether the property is occupied or vacant so we can plan access and scheduling.

Can you quote from photos alone?

Photos help us review the job. We may need measurements and a site visit to check access and existing conditions before providing a firm price.

How do changes during a project work?

We discuss changes and their effect on price and scheduling before the additional work proceeds.

Can you take on every part of a remodel?

Send us the full list of work you have in mind. We’ll confirm the scope we can provide and discuss any work that needs a separate qualified trade or further assessment.

Which areas do you serve?

Our renovation services focus on Pittsburgh. Include the project neighborhood or city in your inquiry so we can confirm availability for your location.
