Choosing a Design-Build Home Remodeler

There are many home builders and remodelers in the Washington, DC area and choosing a Design-Build contractor requires some research. A great place to start is word of mouth. Ask neighbors or friends local to your area if they have recently completed a home remodeling project. If they are pleased with their contractor of choice, then ask them for a referral. Once you have made a decision, or narrowed it down, request a meeting with the contractor to ask any questions you may have.

Whole Home Remodeling FAQ’s

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions and if you have further questions, please contact us – we’re here to help!

Is remodeling my home worth it?

Yes, for different reasons. The most important being how your home currently fits the needs of you and your family, and whether the space makes you happy. Does your home feel like home? If not, it may be time to invest (wisely, and with guidance from a professional team) in remodeling your home. Remodeling your home can also add value, when done correctly. A great resource for determining the ROI on a home remodel is your localized Cost Vs. Value Report. This resource gathers data from across the nation to give homeowners a better idea of what projects have the potential for adding value.

How long will it take to remodel my home?

The length of remodeling your home will vary depending on a myriad of factors. Full whole home remodels that require getting to the "bones" of the home will take much longer than whole home remodel projects that don't require knocking down walls, re-arranging floor plans, electricity, plumbing, etc. This length range can be anywhere from 3-8 months, to 6-12 months. An experienced Design-Build contractor will be able to set realistic timelines for your individual project.

How often should a home be remodeled?

Though there is no rule requiring you to remodel your home, it's common for homeowners to start wanting a refresh every 15 or 20 years. Various things come into play for this reasoning, including the changing of style preferences or growing families needing more (or maximized) space.

What questions should I ask a contractor before hiring them to remodel my home? Protecting the investment you are about to put into your home is key.Here are suggestions of questions to always ask, whether you're hiring for a bathroom, kitchen, whole home, or any other remodel project:

Do you utilize the Design-Build method?
Do you have a contracting license?
How long have you been in business?
Can I see your certificate of insurance?
Do you offer a warranty on work performed?
How will additional charges be handled?
Who will be my main point of contact and what is the best way to get ahold of them?
Will tools and materials be stored in my home?
How will your team clean up during the remodel?
