The Steps and Service You Can Expect – York Remodeling Contractor
If you’ve never remodeled before or are taking on a big project, you may feel a little nervous. How much will it cost? How long will it take? Between the large expense and the excitement of anticipating your finished remodel, it’s hard not to feel a little apprehensive. Knowing what to expect can help alleviate your fears and make you better prepared for what’s to come. Call our York Remodeling Contractor and we will walk you through the process.

- Discuss your desired budget and investment comfort zone.
- Review and execute Design Agreement.
Note: (Required fee for Project Design Agreement, PDA is 2% of low end of the estimated budget.) All PDA Design Fees will be credited back to the Final Construction Contract, however if the Owner(s) choose not to proceed with Red Oak Remodeling performing the construction, then all fees paid are non-refundable. All PDF design rendering files and product selection sheets will be released to the client.

- Review the final specifications, materials selected, pricing, and preliminary schedule.
- Review the final production floor plans and any other necessary views.
- Review and execute the Construction Contract, which allows us to start the next phase of your project. A small deposit is required.

- Apply for necessary permits.
- Release all purchase orders to vendors.
- Prepare the construction packet for your Project Leader.

- Answer any questions you may have before we begin.
Step 8: Construction
During construction, we will:
- Update you on changes to the schedule.
- Update you on work that is being performed.
- Meet with you to address any concerns and questions that may arise during construction.
- Update you on any changes that may require cost increases or credits due to changes in scope of work.
Note: We will not make any major changes until you have approved and signed a written Change Order
Step 9: Post-Construction
After the construction work is completed, we will:
- Deliver your 3-YEAR warranty and information packet.
- Walk you through the operation of your new fixtures or appliances.
- Contact you every 6 months of the warranty period to see how you are enjoying the work we performed for you and see if there is anything we need to adjust or repair.
