Common Remodeling Questions

What services does Gentry Custom Remodeling offer?

We specialize in design build remodeling services, including kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement renovations, home additions, and whole home remodeling. Every project is customized to fit your home, lifestyle, and long term goals.

What does design build mean?

Design build means your designer and builder are part of the same team from the very beginning. This approach improves communication, streamlines decision making, and helps avoid delays or misalignment once construction begins.

How does the remodeling process start?

The process begins with an in home consultation where we learn about your goals, review your space, and discuss expectations. If the project is a good fit, we move into the design phase to develop layouts, selections, and scope before construction starts.

What does the design phase include?

During design, we finalize floor plans, materials, finishes, and overall scope. This phase allows you to make informed decisions and understand what your project will include before moving into construction.

When are timelines established?

Project timelines are established after the design phase and before construction begins. This gives you a clear understanding of how long your remodel is expected to take and what milestones to expect along the way.

How long does a typical remodel take?

Timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the project. Kitchens and bathrooms typically take several weeks, while basements, additions, and whole home remodels can take several months. Your specific timeline is reviewed before work begins.

How is pricing handled?

Pricing is discussed during the contract phase once design details are finalized. Final costs are based on project scope, material selections, and construction requirements. All pricing is clearly reviewed and agreed upon before construction starts.

Do you provide estimates?

Yes. After design is complete, you receive a detailed project estimate that reflects the agreed upon plans and selections so you can move forward with confidence.

Will I be able to live in my home during the remodel?

In many cases, yes. However, some projects may require temporary adjustments depending on the scope of work. We discuss living expectations early so you can plan accordingly.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. Gentry manages required permits and coordinates inspections as part of the remodeling process, helping keep the project compliant and on schedule.

How will communication work during construction?

You will receive regular updates throughout the project so you always know what is happening and what comes next. Clear communication is a key part of our process.
