Frequently Asked Questions

We’re Here to Help—Find Clear Answers to All Your Remodeling Questions

Why do change orders cost so much? Expand

Change orders often involve rework, re-coordination, and delays to the original schedule. Materials may need to be reordered or reinstalled, and trade partners may need to revisit completed areas. These disruptions increase labor and material costs, which is why change orders can be expensive. We always aim to avoid them by thoroughly planning and approving every detail before construction begins.

Why do we use in-house designers? Expand

Using in-house designers ensures a seamless collaboration between the design and construction teams. Our designers understand the materials, structural requirements, and construction timelines, allowing for more accurate plans, fewer surprises, and a better overall experience. It also keeps communication clear and decisions aligned with your vision and budget.

What is a design-build contractor? Expand

A design-build contractor handles both the design and construction under one roof. This approach provides a single point of accountability, simplifies communication, reduces delays, and allows us to deliver high-quality projects on time and within budget. At Renewal, this integrated model ensures your vision is executed exactly as planned.

Why do we not allow homeowners to supply labor or materials? Expand

We take full responsibility for quality, scheduling, and warranty. Allowing outside labor or materials introduces variables we can't control, which can affect timing, workmanship, and liability. To protect your investment and ensure a smooth, efficient process, we use our vetted team and trusted suppliers for every aspect of your project.

Why do we use a fixed bid contract and not line item pricing? Expand

A fixed bid gives you peace of mind knowing the full cost of your project upfront—no surprise charges or shifting estimates. Line item pricing can cause confusion and doesn't account for the complexities of construction as clearly. Our approach ensures transparency, accountability, and fewer change orders.

What is the Design Process (and length of time)? Expand

Our design phase can range from 3 to 12 months, depending on the project's complexity. Architectural, surveys, engineering, and permitting can increase the timeline.

What is the Production Process (and length of time)? Expand

Our production phase can range from 8 weeks to 8-10 months, depending on the project's scope and complexity. For example, a bathroom or kitchen may take 8 weeks, a whole house 4-5 months, an addition 5-6 months, and a tear-down rebuild 6-10 months, depending on the size of the home.

 

What are my payment schedule/payment options? Expand

We require a deposit to begin, followed by progress payments based on project milestones.. We accept standard forms of payment, including checks and bank transfers. Financing options are available through third-party lenders if needed.

How do you handle communication with us during your project? Expand

You’ll have a dedicated onsite Superintendent and Production Manager who provides daily updates, responds promptly to questions, and guides you through every step. We utilize clear communication tools to ensure you're informed, involved, and confident throughout the process.

Why should I consider using Renewal for my project? Expand
