How much will my renovation cost? How do you differentiate between quick expert services and detailed design work?
We generally quote carpentry and custom millwork services by the hour, with a maximum of 8 hours per day.
For more comprehensive design and renovation services, such as flooring changes, bathroom design, tile work, and drywall installation, we offer per-square-foot quotes to provide a more cost-effective solution for larger projects.
