Common questions
Why do remodeling prices vary so much?
Scope, material grade, and how much is hidden behind the wall. Two bids on the same room can differ by 40% simply because one includes plumbing relocation, permits and leveling, and the other does not.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — they're honest ranges based on projects we do in South Florida. Your written estimate is specific to your home and is a fixed price once the scope is agreed.
What raises the price the most?
Moving plumbing or walls, large-format or patterned tile, custom cabinetry, stone counters, and permitted structural work.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free and itemized, usually delivered within 24 hours of the walkthrough.
