Will we be able to use the space during the remodel? ?

[The answer will depend on the room.

 

A kitchen remodel can be very disruptive.  It is helpful to develop a plan to address meal preparation for the time specified at the outset of the project.

For a bathroom, we will attempt to leave it functional at the end of the day (particularly if it is the only bathroom available to you).

Other rooms can be left functional by the end of the day during the majority of the project. However, heavy traffic in the space may disrupt the flow of work, especially if materials are relocated overnight. During the day, the best situation is for the area to be vacated while trades people are working.]

Will we need to be home each day during the remodeling process?

[We try to schedule meetings with the homeowners to review the status of the job. These can be scheduled around a noon lunch hour or at a 3:30 timeframe. This will serve to update homeowners on what to expect during the next week and to forecast what progress they can expect to see. Questions on the current situation can be addressed at that time.]

Will there be any safety issues we need to be aware of??

[Children and pets issues are addressed. Although the noise from power tools generally frightens animals, children tend to be more inquisitive about the process. We ask that pets be kenneled (confined to one secured area of the home away from the project) and children kept away from the project. Pets may “escape” from a home through an opening for a window or the replacement of a door. Woods Home Improvements assumes no responsibility for the confinement or care of pets. ]

Who will be in our home?

[
We use our employees and trades people for the jobs with whom we have had a longstanding relationship. Our mission is to protect your property and to respect your home during this time.]

How will this impact our day-to-day activities?

[

 

There will be some additional noise which is unavoidable. There will be dust which will be minimized by the use of equipment (negative air machines, curtain walls, etc.) but the traffic may produce some dust. There will also be the feeling of activity—not the tranquility which the finished product will produce but necessary to get to that point. We will work with you on expectations of the cycle that remodeling produces so that you are prepared for this.

What does Woods Home Improvements offer?

[

Our experience includes 10 years of work in the remodeling field. The goal we set is that the project will look original when we are done—a seamless transition from old to new. We have an excellent core of subcontractors and work well with them to provide an accurate schedule for your project.

In remodeling, there may be some unknown factors—corners that are not perpendicular, windows that are not square, etc. Our experience provides us with insights to things that others may not see and we try to consider any hurdles in our proposal price.
