Design/Build Remodeling FAQs
Have questions about a custom home remodel? Our team provides answers to common questions homeowners have about the design/build remodeling process.
How long does a home remodeling project take?
Remodeling can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year or more, depending on the size of the job and the complexities involved.
Factors that will affect your schedule include the scope of your project, design decision-making, permits and inspections, unforeseen structural issues, delivery of materials, and any requests for additional work.
Do I need a permit for my remodel?
Minor updates like painting, flooring, tiling, or updating cabinet surfaces usually don’t require a permit. But structural, electrical, or plumbing work often requires a permit before the project may begin.
When you work with Neil Kelly, permits are taken care of by your dedicated project manager.
Do you remodel all year long?
Yes! Remodeling can be done any time of year. In fact, some projects, such as flooring installation or kitchen and bath cabinetry installation, are easier to schedule in winter due to greater availability of staff and materials.
What does a remodeling project include?
Neil Kelly is a full-service remodeling firm. Our projects include everything from concept to completion. Our professional Design/Build teams use industry expertise, quality craftsmanship and decades of experience to bring your vision to life.
Are your designers certified?
Many of our design consultants are certified by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), an organization that sets standards and practices for the remodeling industry. The most common certifications are:
- CKD: Certified Kitchen Designer
- CBD: Certified Bath Designer
- CMKBD: Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer
- CAPS: Certified Aging In Place Specialist
How do I set a realistic remodeling budget?
When setting a home remodeling project budget, we recommend:
- Defining the scope of work: List the rooms you’d like to remodel and the changes you’d like to make, including adding or removing walls or moving appliances.
- Researching costs: Get estimates for materials, labor, and permits.
- Adding a contingency: Plan a little extra budget for unexpected issues.
- Prioritizing wants vs. needs: Identify must-haves versus optional upgrades.
Can I live in my home during construction?
The short answer is yes!
Each project is different, and the level of disruption will depend on the home improvements being done. If you choose to stay home during your remodel, our teams will make sure that living there is safe for the entire family.
