How We Handle Your Project

First, we meet at your property to understand exactly what you need. No high-pressure sales pitch – just a straightforward conversation about your project, timeline, and budget.

You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No surprises or hidden costs that show up later. If permits are needed, we handle the paperwork and know exactly what Suffolk County requires.

During construction, we keep the job site clean and communicate regularly about progress. We coordinate any subcontractors and make sure everything meets our standards before calling it complete. You get a final walkthrough and warranty information before we consider the job finished.

Most structural changes, additions, electrical work, and plumbing modifications require permits in Suffolk County. This includes room additions, bathroom renovations, kitchen remodels, and deck construction. We handle the permit application process and know exactly what documentation is needed. The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the scope of work. We factor permit timing into your project schedule so there are no delays. Having proper permits protects you during resale and ensures all work meets current building codes.
We start each day by setting up protective coverings and organizing tools and materials. Work typically runs Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM unless we discuss other arrangements. We keep job sites clean and secure overnight. You’ll get regular updates on progress and any issues that come up. We coordinate deliveries to minimize disruption and always clean up before leaving each day. If we need access to utilities or specific areas of your home, we’ll give you advance notice. Most projects have some dust and noise, but we use containment methods to keep it manageable.
Our detailed estimates minimize surprises, but older homes sometimes reveal hidden issues once work begins. If we discover problems like outdated wiring, plumbing issues, or structural concerns, we stop work and discuss options with you before proceeding. You get a written change order that explains the issue, proposed solution, and additional cost. We never do extra work without your approval. Most unexpected issues involve bringing systems up to current codes, which protects your investment long-term. We explain why the work is necessary and give you alternatives when possible.
Yes, we carry full licensing for general contracting work in New York State and Suffolk County. Our insurance includes general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. You can verify our credentials and insurance status before we start work. This protects you from liability if someone gets injured on your property and covers any accidental damage during construction. We provide insurance certificates when required and make sure all subcontractors carry their own coverage. Working with licensed, insured contractors is essential for protecting your investment and avoiding legal issues.
Timeline depends on project scope, permit requirements, and material availability. Small repairs and maintenance work typically take 1-3 days. Bathroom renovations usually take 2-3 weeks, kitchen remodels 3-4 weeks, and room additions 6-8 weeks. Weather can affect exterior work, especially during winter months. We provide realistic timelines upfront and update you if anything changes. Permit approval adds 2-4 weeks to projects requiring them. We schedule projects to minimize delays and coordinate with suppliers to ensure materials arrive on time. Rush jobs are possible but may cost more due to overtime and expedited material delivery.
All our work comes with a one-year warranty covering workmanship and installation. This covers any issues that result from improper installation or construction defects. Material warranties vary by manufacturer – we provide all warranty documentation and help you register products when required. If problems develop during the warranty period, we return to fix them at no charge. The warranty doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or damage from accidents or misuse. We stand behind our work and want you to be completely satisfied with the finished project. Most issues, if they occur, show up within the first few months after completion.
