Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking About Renovating in Western New York?

If you live in Buffalo, Amherst, Williamsville, Clarence, Lockport, or anywhere in Erie or Niagara County, you have probably thought about fixing up your home. Maybe you want it to feel more comfortable, maybe you are getting ready to sell, or maybe it is just time for an update. Here is what we get asked most often!

What adds the most value around the area?

Kitchens and bathrooms are always at the top of the list. New flooring, better windows, and upgraded doors are close behind. These improvements make your home more enjoyable now and more valuable later.

Will it really help if I am selling?

Yes. In competitive areas like Amherst and Cheektowaga, the homes that sell fastest and for the most money are the ones with updated kitchens, clean modern bathrooms, and fresh paint. Even smaller updates like a warm inviting entry way can make your home stand out from others on the market.

I just bought my place. Should I wait?

Not if you already know what you want to change. Many homeowners start right away, and we love to work before you move your belongings in, so from move-in day on you feel at home, and love the place you live. Whether that means opening up a living space, finishing a basement, or adding storage. It can be easier to do before you are fully settled in.

What if I am staying in my home for years?

We focus on comfort, efficiency, and durability. Winters in Western New York can be tough, so upgrades like new windows, better insulation, or more efficient heating systems can make a big difference in comfort and energy costs.

How does pricing work?

Our quotes are for labor only. This helps you plan for choosing the materials that fit your budget and style. This can be anything from budget-friendly options at home improvement stores to high-end custom designer finishes. When you know how much labor should cost it helps you plan for your needs. A full kitchen renovation typically ranges between $10,000 and $50,000. While a bathroom renovation usually ranges from $6,000 to $25,000. 

Why not include materials in the price?

Every homeowner has different needs and tastes. Some people want ornate luxury finishes while others prefer a simple more cost-conscious approach. We work with both, and all the needs in between. We feel that this method gives you control over both style and cost without hidden markups or unnecessary surprises.

Do you work on older homes?

Yes. We have experience with historic Buffalo Victorians, 1920s bungalows, and mid-century ranches. We keep the character you love while upgrading comfort, function, and efficiency.

Does the weather slow things down?

We work year-round, but plan around the seasons. We also choose materials and methods that can handle snow, rain, and humidity so your renovations last.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are fully licensed in New York State and carry general liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto coverage.
