Frequently Asked Questions

Which materials delay remodels most?
Custom windows/doors, specialty tile, and long-lead fixtures. Confirm weeks-to-delivery in writing.
Should demo wait for materials?
Often yes for exterior openings and unique finishes. Idle open walls burn money.
Who tracks freight and damage?
Assign ownership. Damaged special orders can add weeks.
