Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a renovation estimate?
A scope by phase, labor and materials line items, allowances for owner-selected finishes, exclusions, change-order policy, payment schedule, and warranty.
Renovation estimate vs quote — which is better?
For most renovations, send a detailed estimate first (so the homeowner sees allowances and exclusions), then convert it to a fixed quote once finishes are selected.
