Yes. Before construction begins, we do the work upfront: every new material and fixture is selected, a detailed scope of work is agreed upon, we collect bids from experienced subcontractors, and factor in permitting costs. That process allows us to give you a specific, reliable bottom-line number before anyone picks up a hammer.

Unexpected things can happen on any remodeling project. If we uncover something structural, or if you decide to adjust the scope, we handle those situations through Additional Work Authorizations, communicated clearly and priced transparently before any extra work proceeds.

These terms get used interchangeably all the time, but they do mean different things. Remodeling involves changing the structure or function of a space, such as moving walls, reconfiguring a layout, or converting a room to a new use. Renovation typically means updating or restoring existing elements without structural changes, like replacing fixtures, refinishing floors, or refreshing a kitchen without touching the layout. Neil Kelly does both.
