Frequently Asked Questions
What types of projects do you do?
We do home remodels and basement finishes, as well as larger projects such as additions and ADU's. We will also tackle outdoor projects such as decks and patio cover, and some handyman work.
What do you specialize in?
Basement finishes. We also enjoy tackling challenging projects from time to time.
What are the rates of your services?
We have two methods of billing: estimate-based and time & materials.
Do you provide free estimates?
For larger projects, we do offer free estimates.
Should I get an estimate, or go with hourly billing?
This depends on your project. In general, getting an estimate can be beneficial for medium or larger projects where the customer prefers to have the contractor manage the details of the project once it is up and running. If you have a smaller project, something you want done as soon as possible, or if you have a larger project and you're looking for someone to help you along as a consultant, hourly billing may be a good fit for you.
Another thing to consider is that, because there is more risk involved for the contractor in estimate work, we do have to include some margin or buffer in the final estimate amount. Because of this, if you have a more straightforward project, it may be cheaper for you to go with hourly billing.
Where do you work?
Historically, we have been based in Longmont, but we recently moved to southwest Johnstown. We serve Longmont, Johnstown, Mead, Loveland, South Fort Collins, Berthoud, Greeley, Windsor, Firestone, and Frederick. We've been known to wander into Lyons, Erie, Niwot, Boulder and Gunbarrel at times as well.
Are you licensed and insured? Do you pull permits?
Yes. When required by the jurisdiction, we can take care of pulling the building permit.
Do you provide design help?
We provide limited design help, especially on the front end of projects. Some projects may require more professional design help in order to get launched.
