How much time should I plan for a remodeling project?
Schedules vary to the type and scale of the project. Single-room updates typically wrap up within three to five weeks. Kitchen renovation work often require one to three months. Major construction work may require several months to a year according to the number of trades involved.
Are permits required for remodeling projects?
Most significant home remodeling projects must have building permits. This includes any work touching plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or structural systems. We handle all permitting as part of our service ensuring nothing gets missed.
What is the difference between remodeling and renovating?
These two terms are often used interchangeably, but they technically describe different things. Renovation generally describes restoring or updating an existing space without changing its structure. Remodeling, on the other hand, describes modifying walls, footprints, or functionality — for example expanding a bathroom by reconfiguring the layout. Either type of project improves your home, and Brother & Brother Builders are equipped for both types of work.
Is it possible to stay home during construction?
For the majority of projects, you can continue living in their home during a remodel, as long as only specific rooms are under construction. During larger remodels affecting utilities throughout the home, staying elsewhere is sometimes the better option for your household. We address living arrangements during the planning phase so there are no surprises.
