FAQ's - The Process

Completing your remodel project is a relatively simple process with Incredible Renovations. Most remodel plans begin with requesting bids from 2 - 3 different contractors - which requires a visit to your home. At the initial visit our structural engineer and project manager review your ideas for your space and take pictures and measurements at your home. We then create a few different design and budget options for you to review at our office, via a 3D virtual walk through. You then leave with the project estimate and proposal in hand for you to review. Here are a few questions you may ask before selecting your contractor:
Are you licensed and Insured?Yes. Incredible Renovations is licensed with the state of Texas and carries Liability insurance.
Does the remodeling contractor offer warranty on all workmanship? Yes. We offer 1 year warranty on all work, 2 year warranty on major equipment and systems and 10 years on structural.
Will the contractor provide a contract that clearly states what they will do, how much it will cost and a completion date? Yes, Incredible Renovations is one of only a handful of remodelers that guarantees in writing a scheduled completion date or we pay fines for everyday we are late in completing your project.
Do I need to pay any money in advance to begin my remodeling project? Yes. Depending on the size and nature of the project; we typically require 15-25% of the total project to be paid at the signing of the contract. Why? This money is used to mobilize, purchase materials and schedule the trade partners. The balance due is normally staged based on construction progress.
Are permits really necessary for my project? In most cases Yes. Normally permits means a third party is reviewing the plans and inspecting the work and that will provide you piece of mind that your project is being performed safely and up to proper codes.
Who pays for all permits required for a remodeling project? The cost of the permits in included in the contract price. Therefore Incredible Renovations pays for the permits related to the job.
What can cause delays in my project? Unfortunately, delays can happen. Delays are normally caused by special ordered items or items not in stock. Also, changes of the original design and change orders by the home owner can cause delays.
Does the remodeler require that changes be in writing to eliminate misunderstanding and unexpected cost? Yes, this would eliminate surprises at the end of your project and allow you to make sound financial decisions. For example, upgrades or major changes along the way.
Will I be able to select the actual products for my project? Yes. You will select all specialty products like doors, hardware, trim, windows, siding, plumbing and electrical fixtures, flooring and paint colors with our guidance. These are normally chosen to closely match the existing items in your home or specific design tastes.
Can we stay in our home during the remodeling process? Yes. Most of our customers stay at home during a remodeling process. We try not to disturb your family and your normal day to day activities.
