Commercial Remodeling FAQ

Here are some of the more common questions we get about commercial remodeling:

What’s the difference between the big retail chains and remodeling companies?
A lot of stores, like Lowes and Home Depot, now offer remodeling services. However, when you hire a remodeling company, you’ll get experts who know how to handle things that appear during the project. They also have greater flexibility in getting the job done and will only use the highest quality projects.

How many estimates should I get?
The rule of thumb is three, however, you should research as much as you can. Find out what the differences are between all these companies. If all the bids are within 10-15% each other, choose within your budget and whatever remodeling contractor with whom you’re most comfortable.

How long should my project take?
This question will depend on the project’s size and scope, and whatever is found during construction. Ask the contractor for a reasonable timeframe, but understand unforeseen circumstances can, and most likely will, happen.

How important is it for my contractor to be licensed and insured?
It’s probably the most important aspect. Many states and municipalities require contractors to be licensed, so be sure to ask prospective contractors for proof of licensing and insurance.

Shouldn’t I just do the project myself?
Sure. If you enjoy physical work, are patient, are able to handle unforeseen circumstances, willing to deal with possible stress, know the steps and can handle it by yourself, among other issues. Think of what you’re getting into before trying to go it alone.
