GENERAL QUESTIONS

Who will be my main point of contact during the remodel?

Your design consultant is also your project manager. This means the same person who helped design your project will manage crews, scheduling, updates, and quality control. You always have one trusted, direct contact from start to finish.

Who will actually be working in my home each day?

We use long-term, trusted craftsmen who have worked with us for many years. These are not random day laborers or rotating crews. You’ll see the same familiar team on your project each day, which helps keep quality consistent and communication clear.

How often will you update me on the progress of my project?

Your project manager provides regular updates throughout the job. This includes schedule changes, material status, inspection timing, and daily expectations, so you always know exactly what’s happening next.

Do you also handle commercial spaces, or only residential projects?

We handle both. We remodel homes and commercial interiors, including offices, retail, breakrooms, and facility spaces. The same design-build system applies to both.

Do you work with neighborhoods that have strict HOAs?

Yes. We routinely work with HOAs and architectural control committees. We can provide drawings, details, and information they require for approvals.

PROCESS & DESIGN-BUILD QUESTIONS

Will I get drawings or 3D renderings before construction starts?

Yes. We provide drawings or layout plans showing the “before and after” view so you know exactly what your remodel will look like prior to construction. More complex projects may receive additional visuals as needed.

Do I need an architect before calling Lee Mash Custom Remodeling?

No. Because we are a design-build firm, homeowners start with us. We handle design, drawings, engineering partnership, permitting, and construction as one complete service.

What happens during inspections, and do you meet the inspector on-site?

Yes. When permits require inspections, we schedule them and meet the inspector on-site. If the inspector requests adjustments, we handle those quickly and keep your project moving without you needing to coordinate anything.

What is the difference between a designer, a contractor, and a design-build firm?

A designer creates drawings. A contractor builds from drawings created by others. A design-build firm (like us) handles both design and construction under one roof, giving you one point of accountability and a much faster, more organized process.

How do you keep the project on schedule?

We create a clear schedule before work begins, staff every project daily, and coordinate all trades in advance. Because your designer is also your project manager, decisions are made quickly, and problems get solved immediately.

What should I expect during each phase of construction?

You will see a predictable sequence:

  1. Site protection and demolition
  2. Framing or layout work
  3. Rough plumbing / electrical / HVAC
  4. Inspections
  5. Drywall, tile, and flooring
  6. Cabinetry and finishes
  7. Final touch-ups and walkthrough

We explain each phase so nothing catches you off guard.

How do you handle delays such as weather, supply issues, or inspection slowdowns?

Your project manager will communicate quickly and adjust the schedule as needed. Most delays are minor, and because our crews work daily, we make up time wherever possible.

What do you need from me before the project begins?

We ask homeowners to approve the design, selections, and estimate; clear out the work area; and notify us of HOA requirements. After that, we handle everything.

How far in advance should I book my remodeling project?

Availability depends on season and scope, but most homeowners contact us 2–6 weeks before they want to begin. Larger projects may be scheduled farther out. We can discuss timelines during your consultation.

What happens if I need to pause the project for any reason?

If something unexpected comes up, talk to your project manager right away. We will safely secure the site and work with you to resume work as soon as possible.

LIVING IN THE HOME DURING REMODELING

Can I stay in my home during the remodel?

Yes. Most homeowners stay in the house while we remodel. We help you plan around temporary changes, such as setting up a backup kitchen or managing bathroom access.

How do you control dust, noise, and mess?

We use floor protection, plastic barriers, and daily cleanup procedures to keep your home as tidy as possible. Remodeling is noisy and dusty, but we go to great lengths to minimize disruption.

What should I do with my furniture and belongings before work begins?

We recommend removing fragile or valuable items from the work area. For large items, we can help move or cover them. Your project manager will provide a simple prep checklist.

Is remodeling safe for kids and pets?

Yes, as long as the work zone stays off-limits. Tools and materials remain in designated areas, and we protect entry points to prevent escape or injury. If you have pets with special needs, let us know so we can plan ahead.

Will there be days when no one is on-site?

Very rarely. Our standard practice is having crews on-site daily until completion. The only exceptions are inspection waits, material delays, or specialty-trade schedule gaps, which your manager communicates in advance.

What hours do your crews typically work?

Work typically occurs during daytime hours, starting in the morning and ending mid-afternoon. We respect neighborhood rules and never show up unexpectedly.

How do you secure my home during construction?

We close, lock, and secure your property at the end of each day. Tools and materials stay in the work zone, and access points are monitored by your project manager.

PRICING, ESTIMATES & COMPARISON QUESTIONS

What if your estimate is higher than another contractor’s bid?

We welcome comparisons. Lower bids often leave out important details such as structural work, permits, finishes, warranties, or daily staffing. We can review bids with you so you understand the differences and avoid surprises later.

Do you offer itemized estimates so I can compare bids line-by-line?

Yes. Every estimate we provide is fully itemized. Homeowners appreciate this because it allows clear budgeting and apples-to-apples comparisons.

Do you offer financing or payment plans?

Financing options can be discussed during your consultation. We can point you toward available remodeling financing resources if needed.

How do your payment schedules work?

Payments are tied to project milestones such as start of work, rough-in completion, cabinet installation, and final walkthrough. We never ask for full payment upfront.

Why do remodeling bids vary so much between contractors?

Differences often come from experience level, materials, insurance coverage, crew quality, project management, and whether the company is licensed or pulling permits correctly. A detailed estimate helps uncover these gaps.

What should be included in a proper remodeling bid?

A complete bid should list materials, labor, finishes, structural work, permit requirements, timeline, warranty, and allowances. If these aren’t listed, costs may rise later.

QUALITY CONTROL & WORKMANSHIP

Do you use subcontractors or only in-house crews?

We use both long-term in-house craftsmen and trusted licensed subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Most of our team has worked with us for many years.

How do you ensure the work is done correctly?

Your project manager inspects progress throughout the project. Work must meet our standards before crews move to the next phase. We also encourage homeowners to walk the job with us and ask questions anytime.

What happens if something isn’t done to my satisfaction?

Tell your project manager right away. We address concerns immediately rather than waiting until the end of the project. Our goal is that you love the results before we call the project complete.

How do you handle workmanship issues that appear after the project is complete?

If an issue arises under warranty, we schedule a service visit to resolve it promptly.

What level of supervision should I expect on my job?

Your project manager oversees every stage, coordinates trades, handles inspections, and keeps the job on schedule. You don’t have to chase anyone down.

PERMITS, CODES & HOA RULES

Do I need permits for my project, and who handles them?

If your remodel involves plumbing, electrical, HVAC, structural changes, or additions, permits are required. We handle the entire permit process so you don’t have to.

Will my remodel meet HOA rules and requirements?

Yes. We follow local building codes and HOA guidelines. If your HOA needs drawings or details for review, we provide them.

Do you help with HOA architectural committee approvals?

Yes. We supply all documentation needed for your HOA’s review process.

Who schedules inspections during the remodel?

We do. We coordinate inspectors, meet them on-site, and handle any corrections they require.

What happens if a project fails an inspection?

We correct any items noted by the inspector and schedule a re-inspection. This is handled quickly to keep your project moving.

MATERIALS, FIXTURES & HOMEOWNER-SUPPLIED ITEMS

Do you help with selecting materials like tile, countertops, and fixtures?

Yes. We help guide you through materials that fit your budget, style, and durability needs. We can recommend showrooms and suppliers if you prefer to shop in person.

Can I supply my own fixtures or appliances?

Yes. We just ask to review them ahead of time to ensure they fit the design and installation requirements. We’ll also explain how warranties work on homeowner-supplied items.

Do you use name-brand products or builder-grade materials?

We work with a range of high-quality, reputable brands. Builder-grade products are not typically used unless specifically requested.

Can you match the existing finishes in my home?

Often yes. We can match trim profiles, door styles, flooring, paint colors, cabinetry styles, and other details so the remodel blends with the rest of your home.

How do you handle back-ordered or discontinued materials?

Your project manager will notify you immediately, offer comparable alternatives, and review the best options for staying on schedule.

What happens if I change my mind about materials after ordering?

Change orders can be made, but additional costs or time adjustments may apply. We’ll walk you through all details before approving changes.  

CONTRACTS, WARRANTY & CHANGE ORDERS

Do you use written contracts for all remodeling projects?

Yes. Every project includes a written contract outlining scope, materials, timeline, payment schedule, and warranty details. This protects both parties.

What type of warranty do you offer on your work?

We provide a written workmanship warranty. Most installed materials also carry manufacturer warranties.

How do you handle change orders after the project starts?

We document all requested changes in writing, review costs and timeline impacts with you, and get your approval before proceeding.

What happens if unexpected issues are found once walls are opened?

We will explain the issue, provide solutions, estimate any additional costs, and get your approval before performing the work.

Are there any situations where costs could increase after the contract is signed?

Only if you request changes, if hidden damage is discovered, or if materials change from the original selection. All changes go through the change-order process for your approval.

TRUST, REVIEWS & REPUTATION

Can I see photos of past projects similar to mine?

Yes. Our portfolio includes kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, garage conversions, whole-home remodels, and commercial projects. We can also share additional examples that match your project type.

Do you provide references from recent clients?

Yes. We can provide homeowner references from the last 12–24 months who completed similar remodeling projects.

What are red flags to watch for when hiring any remodeling contractor?

Red flags include:

  • No proof of insurance
  • No written contract
  • Asking for most or all money upfront
  • Refusing to pull permits
  • Vague or missing timelines
  • No recent references
  • Bids that are unusually low

If you see these, proceed with caution.

How do you protect my home and belongings during the project?

We install floor protection, dust barriers, and temporary enclosures. We store tools and materials safely and clean up at the end of each workday.

What makes your design-build process different from other contractors?

You work with one team from start to finish—design, pricing, drawings, project management, and construction. This eliminates hand-offs, miscommunication, and delays seen with traditional contractor setups.
