FAQ — Full Home Renovation in Reading
Should we live in the house during renovation?
It depends on scope. For a true gut renovation (no plumbing, no kitchen, dust everywhere), we recommend moving out for 3–4 months and renting nearby. For phased renovations where we work room-by-room, you can usually stay in part of the house.
How do payments work?
Milestone-based, tied to inspections and deliverables — never time-based. Typical schedule: 10% at signing, 20% at framing, 25% at rough-in, 25% at drywall, 15% at substantial completion, 5% at final walkthrough.
Do you do historic preservation work?
Yes. We've restored 18th and 19th century colonials in Concord, Lexington, and Andover — preserving original moldings, plaster details, and floors while quietly upgrading systems to modern code. We work with local Historic District Commissions when required.
What's included in the 5-year warranty?
All workmanship — framing, drywall, tile, paint, plumbing connections, electrical work, fixture installation. Manufacturer warranties cover their own products (appliances, windows, roofing) and we coordinate any warranty claims on your behalf.
