Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s how we help tell your story.
What are the benefits of home remodeling?
Home remodeling brings a set of invaluable perks that are highly coveted by most homeowners. For example, an expertly done remodeling project can:
- Enhance the value of your home once you decide to sell it
- Give you more comfort and a more pleasant home environment
- Provide heightened functionality and energy efficiency
- Modernize the property and elevate its style
Ten Key Remodels can help you create the best design for your home improvement project. We’ll take your ideas and turn them into gorgeous and workable architectural designs. Our projects are fully customized and executed using durable materials to make sure that they bring you lasting comfort and satisfaction.
How does your home remodeling process work?
Ten Key Remodels employs a dependable strategy that ensures outstanding results and customer satisfaction. It goes like this:
- We start with an initial on-site consultation to get to know the client’s needs.
- Next, we produce several 3D designs and send them to the client with corresponding price estimates.
- Our client revises the designs and provides necessary feedback.
- We create the final design and calculate a price estimate.
- We provide the client with the contract and final plans.
- The plans are shared with our construction team and a project schedule is determined.
- During the home remodeling project, the client can use a practical construction management platform to follow its progress. We also keep communication lines open for any client feedback.
- Finally, it’s time for the client to enjoy the outcome of the project!
Do you offer free estimates for home remodeling services?
Yes, we offer initial consultations and design ideas free of charge. That means we’ll start with a conversation about your home remodeling needs and goals and help you shape the vision before there’s any cost involved. From there, we can talk through potential options, share ideas, and help you understand what a project might look like in terms of scope and priorities before you invest.
How much does a home remodel cost?
The price of a home remodel will significantly vary based on several aspects:
- The type: A small bump-out will, understandably, be much more affordable than a full-scale whole house remodel.
- The complexity: Does your space have any particular structural restrictions that have to be worked around? Does the project involve the tearing down of walls or new plumbing?
- The materials: If you go for high-end, luxury materials, like natural stone, your expenses will increase considerably.
Ten Key Remodels offers a free-of-charge initial consultation complete with design advice. This can help you determine if the project you’re planning is within your budget. Our expert whole house remodeling contractors can also help you fine-tune every facet of your project so it doesn’t exceed the budget.
What construction management software do your home remodelers use?
Here at Ten Key Remodels, we consider it one of our top priorities to keep the client involved at every stage of the project. We use BuilderTrend, a reliable system that lets our clients keep track of the progress of our work. You simply log onto an online client portal, and you can monitor how your home remodeling project is going. This platform also allows us to supervise and manage our projects from lead to completion all in one system.
How long does a home remodeling project usually take?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all timeline since every project varies in size and scope. Most of our work involves full kitchen or bathroom remodels, as well as home additions, and timelines depend on design complexity, material selections, and permitting. Smaller projects typically take around 4–6 weeks, while larger or more involved remodels can take anywhere from 2–4 months.
The first step to any project is a consultation with our specialists, where we’ll get a better idea of the scope of the work you have in mind. Afterward, we’ll provide you with an estimated time frame for the completion of the project.
Do I need to hire my own plumber or electrician, or do you coordinate that as part of the home remodeling project?
Not at all! We are a one-stop shop when it comes to home remodeling. As a full-service remodeling company, we are able to take any project from start to finish! All you’ll need to do is tell us which designs you like best (we provide you custom options), and our design team will walk you through any other choices you need to make. Then leave the rest to us.
Our design and construction team carefully coordinates to bring you maximum convenience. Their detailed project management gives you a smooth, effortless, and enjoyable experience all throughout the process.
Is there a deposit or any upfront payment required for a home remodel?
Yes, we will collect a small down payment on the day you sign up, and the remaining price is payable over the life of the home remodeling project. This initial deposit allows us to purchase all the materials and have them shipped and delivered to your home before installation.
Do you provide a service warranty on your home remodeling projects?
Yes, we offer a 1-year warranty on our work. This warranty covers the quality of our craftsmanship and ensures any issues related to our installation or workmanship are addressed promptly. Our goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your home remodel is backed by clear standards and ongoing support after completion.
Are your remodelers fully insured?
Yes, our remodeling contractors are fully insured to protect you if anything unexpected occurs during your project. While we take every precaution to prevent issues, carrying proper insurance is an important part of operating responsibly and professionally. Ten Key Remodels is committed to every aspect of your experience, and we work hard to make each step of the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. You can feel confident knowing your project is fully covered.
Do you work with architects, interior designers, and other specialists for home remodeling projects?
Ten Key Remodels has multiple well-trained interior designers on staff who work closely with our construction team throughout the project. They have decades of combined home remodeling experience across a wide range of specialties, allowing us to manage design, planning, and execution from start to finish.
How do you vet home remodelers?
Our team brings extensive experience not only in construction, but also in recruiting and human resources management. We are highly selective about who joins our staff and treat every team member with the respect and care of a close-knit group. New home remodelers are carefully evaluated through hands-on work before being placed on client projects, ensuring everyone on our job sites meets our quality standards and aligns well with our clients’ expectations.
What should I do to prepare my home before a home remodel begins?
Although we’ll manage every aspect of your project so you have a hassle-free home remodeling experience, there are a few things that you could do in advance to get ready. The best way to prepare is to remove all of your personal belongings from the area being remodeled. This includes removing picture frames or artwork from the walls, cleaning out any drawers if we’re doing counters or cabinet work, and making sure there is a clear path for the installers to work.
It is extremely important for the builders to be able to work without anything getting in the way. This facilitates the construction process and contributes to bringing your project to completion.
Should I expect a lot of dust during a home remodeling project?
Unfortunately, probably. Dust is a part of home remodeling. However, it’s no cause for concern because it can be cleaned up afterward and the results you’ll get will be more than worth it. The amount of dust depends on the type of project that we’re doing. If we’re just replacing the counters, there won’t be much dust, but if we are tearing out flooring or walls, prepare for a good amount. It settles in a few days.
That said, we take dust control seriously. Our team prepares the work area carefully and uses protective measures to reduce the impact on your daily life as much as possible. We also plan for thorough cleanup once work is complete, and if you’d like, we can connect you with trusted partners for whole home cleaning services. Just let us know!
