Budgeting depends on the size and scope of your project. As a general rule, expect to invest $100–$225 per square foot for major remodels. Always include a 10–20% contingency for unexpected costs.
Most renovations—especially those involving structural, plumbing, or electrical changes—require permits. Your contractor should help guide you through the permitting process to ensure everything complies with local codes.
Timelines vary based on the size of the project. A single-room remodel might take 4–8 weeks, while full-home renovations can take several months. Planning and design time should also be factored in.
Renovations typically refer to restoring or updating existing features, while remodels involve altering the structure or layout of a space. Grimes Home Concepts handles both, depending on your goals.
It depends on the project’s extent. For partial remodels, staying in your home may be possible with proper safety measures. For larger renovations, it might be more practical to arrange temporary housing.
