Question 1

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Boca Raton and nearby communities in Palm Beach and Broward counties — roughly 50 miles around Boca Raton. See the Service Areas page for the full list.

Question 2

Do you work on condos as well as houses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Condo and high-rise remodels are a specialty — association approvals, freight-elevator scheduling, quiet hours and compact-footprint design are all part of our normal condo workflow.

Question 3

How do I request a consultation?

Accepted Answer

Call 561-888-5889 or send the consultation form with your address, the space you're thinking about, and a few details. Photos of the room help if you have them.

Question 4

How long does a remodel take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope: focused projects like a vanity or countertop swap run days; full kitchen or bathroom remodels run weeks, including ordering lead times and permits. We give you a realistic schedule for your specific project before anything starts — not a best-case guess.

Question 5

Do I need permits for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?

Accepted Answer

Projects that move plumbing, electrical or walls generally do, and inspections happen at set points in the schedule. We explain which permits apply to your project before work begins and build them into the timeline.

Question 6

Can I live at home during the remodel?

Accepted Answer

Most of our clients do. We seal off the work area, protect floors and contain dust. You'll lose use of the room being remodeled, so plan around that — but you don't need to move out for most projects.

Question 7

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward cabinet-and-countertop refresh with the same layout typically runs several weeks. Remodels that move plumbing, electrical or walls take longer, mostly because of permitting and inspection steps. We give you a realistic schedule for your specific scope before anything starts — not a best-case guess.

Question 8

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Accepted Answer

A full gut remodel of one bathroom typically takes a few weeks of on-site work, longer if the project waits on special-order tile, glass or vanities. We sequence orders before demo so the room isn't torn apart waiting on boxes.

Question 9

Can you design a kitchen I'll build later, or with another contractor?

Accepted Answer

Reach out and we'll talk through what you need — some clients want a full design-to-build project with us, others need design decisions made before they commit to anything. Tell us where you are in the process and we'll be straight about what makes sense.

Question 10

Can you reface instead of replace?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes refacing makes sense — when the boxes are solid, the layout works, and the doors are the problem. We'll look at your existing cabinets and tell you honestly whether refacing, repainting or full replacement is the better spend.

Question 11

Quartz or granite — which is better?

Accepted Answer

For most kitchens, quartz: consistent, non-porous, no annual sealing, nearly stain-proof. Granite wins on heat tolerance and natural character. The right question is how you cook — hot pans straight from the oven favor granite; low-maintenance favors quartz. We'll match the material to your habits.

Question 12

Where should the backsplash end — upper cabinets or the ceiling?

Accepted Answer

Tiling to the ceiling with open shelving or cabinets looks finished and cleans up easily; stopping at standard height is more economical and still looks right with a good edge treatment. We'll show you both in your kitchen's proportions.

Question 13

How long does a shower remodel take?

Accepted Answer

A typical shower rebuild runs about a week to ten days of on-site work, plus time for custom glass fabrication after tile is set. Waterproofing needs its curing time, and we don't rush it — that's the step that buys you the next twenty years.

Question 14

Can my bathroom have a curbless shower?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes — the question is how. Slab-on-grade homes can often be cut or the drain repositioned; raised floors and second-story baths have more constraints. We look at the structure and give you real options with real numbers.

Question 15

Can you replace a tub without redoing the whole bathroom?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes, as long as the drain location can be matched and the surround can come off and go back cleanly. If the existing surround or walls are worn, we'll show you what refreshing them alongside the tub costs — sometimes it's the difference between new and almost-new.

Question 16

Can I put a bigger vanity where a small one was?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes — the constraints are the door swing, walkway clearances, and whether the plumbing can shift. We measure and tell you the largest vanity the room genuinely supports, not just the largest that fits the wall.

Question 17

Is luxury vinyl plank really waterproof?

Accepted Answer

The plank is; the installation has to be too. Seams at doorways, around toilets and at tub edges, and the quality of the underlayment decide whether water stays on top where you can wipe it up. We detail those areas specifically.

Question 18

Can you add under-cabinet lighting to an existing kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes — modern LED strips install under existing cabinets, with power either from a nearby outlet or a small dedicated circuit. It's one of the highest-impact upgrades per dollar in a kitchen that's otherwise staying as-is.

Question 19

Do I need my condo association's approval to remodel?

Accepted Answer

In most buildings, yes for anything beyond cosmetic work — and the required package usually includes scope, insurance and licensed contractors. We prepare the paperwork your association expects so approval isn't the bottleneck.

Question 20

Do we have to move out during a whole-home remodel?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope and your tolerance. Many clients stay through phased work — one bathroom remains functional, the kitchen goes last, work areas are sealed each day. Full-gut schedules are shorter if the house is vacant. We'll lay out both and you decide.
