Questions
Answers before your first consultation
The questions below cover most of what homeowners ask before starting a project. Anything else, call us directly.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Every project starts with a free, in-home consultation and a fixed-price proposal before any work begins.
How long does a typical remodel take?
A bathroom remodel usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, a kitchen remodel 5 to 8 weeks, and a whole-home renovation 3 to 6 months, depending on scope.
Is there a deposit?
Projects require a deposit to schedule materials and crew time, with the balance due at agreed milestones, all spelled out in the fixed-price proposal.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We pull permits and schedule inspections for any project that requires them, including additions and structural work.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
For most single-room projects, yes. For whole-home renovations, we build a phased schedule to keep as much of the home livable as possible and will tell you upfront if a stretch will not be.
Do you subcontract the work?
No. Framing, electrical, plumbing, tile, and finish carpentry are handled by our own in-house crew, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Do you offer a warranty?
Every project carries a 5-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures and appliances are registered on your behalf.
What is included in the design consultation?
A walkthrough of the space, a discussion of layout options, and a 3D layout for kitchen and bathroom projects, all before you commit to a proposal.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners across the metro area. Use the contact form with your address and we will confirm coverage.
What should I expect during a project?
A dedicated project manager, a written schedule with milestones, and weekly progress updates. Every project ends with a room-by-room walkthrough.
Can you match my home's existing style?
Yes. Additions and structural work are designed to match your home's existing roofline, trim, and finishes, not to look bolted on.
Are your crews licensed and insured?
Yes. Every crew member is a licensed, insured employee of McSweeney's Renovations, not a subcontractor.
