Do
you charge for estimates? |

A: |

We
walk you thru our processes at
the 1st phone meeting and get
your realistic budget numbers to
start with. Remodeling is a
relationship and choosing the
right remodeling company is
often more important than the
estimate. If you choose the
right remodeler, the budget and
estimate will almost always fall
into place. No, we do not charge
for estimates, unless it is an
insurance estimate, then we
charge our customary rates. |

Remodeling a home green is

into their homes. Green
Remodeling is an
all-encompassing approach that
emphasizes making a home
healthy, comfortable, and
efficient. Consideration is
given to indoor air quality,
energy conservation, resource
conservation, reduced material
waste, and the use of products
that are better for the
environment (and for people). |
