Question 1

Accepted Answer

The timeline for building a home can vary depending on the size, design, and complexity of the project. On average, a custom home can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months from start to finish. We provide a detailed schedule during the planning phase to keep your project on track.

Question 2

Do I need permits for interior remodeling?

Accepted Answer

Permit requirements vary by location and the extent of the project. Check with your local building department for specific guidelines.

Question 3

Can I expect an increase of my home's value after a remodel?

Accepted Answer

A well-executed remodel can significantly increase your home’s value, especially if it addresses functional or aesthetic deficiencies.

Question 4

How often should I repaint the exterior of my home?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of repainting depends on the material and climate. Here on Cape Cod we do have moist air and sometimes our winters are cold, which add wear to the paint. Wood siding may need to be repainted every 3-7 years. High-quality paint can extend the time between repaints.

Question 5

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or repaired?

Accepted Answer

Signs you may need a roof replacement include missing or damaged shingles, water leaks, mold, and sagging areas. If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time for a replacement, especially if it shows wear and tear. Minor damage, such as a few missing shingles, may only require repairs.

Question 6

What is the best time of the year to remodel the exterior of the house?

Accepted Answer

The best time for exterior remodeling is typically during the spring, summer, or early fall when weather conditions are more favorable. Winter months can make projects like roofing or painting more challenging, though indoor-related work, such as window or door replacement, can still be done year-round.

Question 7

What does the Board of Health requires for construction projects.

Accepted Answer

The Board of Health oversees public health and safety regulations, including wastewater management and sanitary conditions. We assist with preparing health-related documentation, representing you in Board of Health meetings, and ensuring compliance with all health standards.
