Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the first step?
2. Do you charge a fee for the first visit?
3. Do you offer financing?
4. Do I have to move out during construction?
With most kitchen or bathroom remodels, you will be able to live in your home while the project is ongoing. We have remodeled numerous projects with the clients still living in their house. We have worked very hard to develop systems to control dust and maintain tidy job sites. And sometimes, when a kitchen is being remodeled as part of the project, we have set up a temporary kitchen in another part of the house. In addition, we have worked hard to hire, train and keep qualified, respectful personnel who understand that we’re guests in your home.
Larger projects, like whole home remodels, may prevent you from staying in your home during at least part of the time.
5. Should I hire an Architect when considering building a House Addition or a Major Home Improvement or Remodeling Project?
NO. Architects create beautiful designs. Design is fun. “We can do this! We can do that!”, but "Where’s the discussion on budget?". SunnyHouse is Design-build company, who creates immaculate designs and sees them through to completion, offers benefits that a residential architect can’t. Homeowners are typically shocked by the true cost of an architect’s drawings. Many homeowners who start with outside drawings employ us to redo the drawings for their projects.
