4. How do I know if I need an architect?
If you live in an apartment building the building management may require that the plans be prepared by a licensed architect, or you may need a permit from your local building department. If you are removing or adding any walls inside or outside of the structure, you will need an architect to prepare drawings. We can provide all the design services you need in-house, but if and when a licensed architect needs to sign off, we will use one of the architects in our network.

5. Once I sign a contract, how long will it take to begin work?
We can start the design process usually within a day or two after an agreement is finalized. The design process and material selection can take quite a bit of time, so the sooner we start, the better is for you.

6. Who will take care of securing permits?
We will assist you in the process. We can hire a professional on your behalf to submit the paperwork. Or you may do it if you prefer. You will need to pay for the permits and all related fees. Building permits require an architect’s drawings, various plans, and other documentation.

7. How can I prepare my home for the project?
You’ll need to clear the work area of your personal belongings. We do cover the areas surrounding our work area yet you may want to protect your furniture from dust with plastic and/or sheets.

8. Can I stay in my home during a remodel?

If a major remodel is being planned, especially where a wall or two is being removed, you may want to temporarily take up residence elsewhere, to avoid inconvenience to yourself.

9. Can I leave my belongings in my home during the renovation?

Yes, but we recommend that you remove everything possible – especially your most important possessions. Although we take a great deal of care to protect your belongings, dust flies everywhere during construction. Much of it is microscopic so no matter what we (or you) do to protect them, your belongings will get dust particles on and in them.

High-density particleboard is stronger and will last longer than plywood. All wood expands and contracts because of changes in humidity. Generally, particleboard is more resistant to expansion and contraction. So in areas with significant changes in humidity – like New York - particleboard is the better option.
