How long does it take to get an estimate?
Our goal is to be on-site for a consult either the same day or within 48 hours pending geographic location. Written estimates are provided for all.
How long is an estimate good for?
Generally we hold prices for 30 days. When the markets are volatile, sometimes we can only hold prices for a week.
How do you handle the dirty work?
We aim to leave the job site cleaner than when we arrived. Of course, what we do can be dirty. We tarp our work area, broom sweep and magnetic broom sweep the work area to get any possible debris. We also provide porta potties where applicable.
Does every remodeling job need a permit?
Building codes have been established by most cities, towns and countries. They vary considerably from one jurisdiction to another. A building permit generally is required whenever structural work is involved or when the basic living area of the home is to be changed. A professional who works in your city or town every day will know the local requirements.
How much should I plan for over runs?
On new construction projects, 10% is a good number. On remodeling projects 10% – 15% is best. If you don’t need it, all the better.
Do you have to remove the old concrete steps to have a new staircase?
We will remove your old stairs if you so desire but most of the time it isn’t necessary. We can cover the existing steps if they are broken or build new stairs that are self supporting if your staircase is sinking.
Is it possible to build a comfortable staircase in the same space as the old uncomfortable stairs?
In many of the older homes in Winnipeg the stairs were built when there was no building code. Carpenters weren’t making the best use of the space they had and they did the simplest thing they could come up with. Oftentimes this resulted in stairs that are little better than a ladder. We take a brand new view of the space and very often we can build stairs that are far more comfortable and serviceable.
