Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with AQ Remodeling

General Questions

How long does a typical remodeling project take? +
Project timelines vary based on scope and complexity. A bathroom remodel typically takes 2-3 weeks, kitchen remodels take 4-6 weeks, and whole home renovations can take 2-4 months. We provide detailed timelines during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the project.
Do I need to move out during the renovation? +
It depends on the scope of work. For single-room renovations like bathrooms or kitchens, most clients stay in their homes. For whole-home remodels or major structural work, temporary relocation may be more comfortable. We work to minimize disruption and can discuss the best approach for your specific project.
Are you licensed and insured? +
Yes, AQ Remodeling is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage to protect both our clients and our team. We're happy to provide proof of insurance and licensing upon request.
How much will my project cost? +
Every project is unique, and costs depend on size, materials, complexity, and your specific requirements. After our initial consultation and site assessment, we provide a detailed, transparent estimate. We work with various budgets and can suggest value engineering options to meet your financial goals without compromising quality.
Do you handle permits and inspections? +
Absolutely. We handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections with local authorities to ensure your project meets all building codes and regulations. This is included in our service, so you don't have to worry about navigating the permitting process.
What is your payment structure? +
We typically work with a deposit to begin work (usually 10-20%), progress payments at key milestones throughout the project, and final payment upon completion and your satisfaction. We provide transparent, detailed estimates upfront and never surprise you with hidden costs.

Design & Planning

Do you provide design services? +
Yes! We offer comprehensive design services including space planning, material selection, 3D renderings, and detailed construction drawings. Our team works closely with you to understand your vision and create designs that are both beautiful and functional. If you already have plans from an architect or designer, we're happy to work from those as well.
Can I choose my own materials and fixtures? +
Absolutely! We encourage client involvement in material selection. We'll guide you through options, provide recommendations based on quality and budget, and help you source materials. You can also purchase your own materials if you prefer, though we can often get better pricing through our supplier relationships.
What if I want to make changes during the project? +
Changes happen, and we're flexible. If you want to make modifications during construction, we'll discuss the impact on timeline and budget before proceeding. We document all changes in writing to ensure clear communication and prevent misunderstandings.

During Construction

How do you handle project management and communication? +
You'll have a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact throughout the project. They'll provide regular updates, coordinate all trades and inspections, and address any questions or concerns. We believe in transparent, proactive communication to ensure you're always informed about progress.
Will you clean up at the end of each day? +
Yes. We maintain clean, organized worksites and perform daily cleanup to minimize disruption to your life or business. At project completion, we conduct a thorough final cleanup so your space is move-in ready.
What if unexpected issues are discovered during demolition? +
Hidden issues (like water damage, outdated wiring, or structural concerns) sometimes emerge during demolition. If we discover something unexpected, we'll stop work, document the issue, discuss solutions and costs with you, and get your approval before proceeding. We never make unauthorized changes.
Do you warranty your work? +
Yes. We stand behind our craftsmanship with a comprehensive warranty on our workmanship. Additionally, materials and fixtures come with manufacturer warranties. We'll provide detailed warranty information at project completion and remain available for any post-project support you need.

Getting Started

How do I get started with my remodeling project? +
Simply contact us through our website, phone, or email to schedule a free consultation. We'll meet at your property to discuss your vision, assess the space, and answer any questions. From there, we'll develop a proposal with design concepts, timeline, and detailed pricing. There's no obligation, and we're happy to provide guidance even if you're in the early planning stages.
Do you offer free estimates? +
Yes! We provide free consultations and estimates. After visiting your property and understanding your goals, we'll prepare a detailed proposal at no cost. For more complex projects requiring extensive design work, we may suggest a paid design phase, but we'll discuss this upfront.
How far in advance should I schedule my project? +
We recommend contacting us 2-3 months before your desired start date, especially during busy seasons (spring and summer). This allows time for design, permitting, material ordering, and scheduling. However, we occasionally have earlier availability, so it never hurts to reach out sooner rather than later.
