FAQs

Everything you're wondering, answered

Straight answers about costs, timelines, permits, and how design-build works — from the team that's been building for five generations.

General

What services does HOME — Renovation & Design Build provide?

We're a full-service residential design-build contractor. That means home remodeling, whole-home renovations, additions, new custom home builds, and interior design — all managed by one team from initial concept to final construction.

What is the benefit of working with a design-build company?

One experienced team handles everything — design, permits, budgeting, and construction. That means better coordination, faster timelines, fewer surprises, and more accurate results than juggling a separate architect, designer, and contractor.

What types of remodeling projects do you specialize in?

Kitchens, bathrooms, full-home remodels, and structural updates. Whether it's modernizing a single space or improving your home's entire layout and flow, we tailor each project to your lifestyle.

Do you offer complete home renovation services?

Yes — both interior and exterior. We upgrade layouts, improve energy efficiency, and update finishes to give your home a fresh, modern feel from top to bottom.

Can you build home additions?

Absolutely. We design and build seamless home additions — extra bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, second stories, and expanded living spaces — engineered so the new construction blends perfectly with your existing structure.

Do you build new custom homes?

Yes. We're experienced licensed home builders in Washington. From the initial design phase to handing you the keys, we manage every step of the custom home building process to deliver a home built around your vision.

What areas do you serve?

We're based in Milton, WA and serve homeowners across the Puget Sound region — including Tacoma, Federal Way, Auburn, Puyallup, Kent, Renton, Bellevue, Gig Harbor, and dozens of surrounding communities in King and Pierce Counties.

What makes HOME different from other contractors?

We're a family-owned company of 5th-generation builders. That generational depth of knowledge — paired with an in-house 3D design team, quality materials, and full A-to-Z project management — means your project is planned right the first time and built to last.

What are pre-sale renovations, and how can they help me?

Pre-sale renovations are strategic updates made before listing your home. We focus on high-impact improvements — kitchens, bathrooms, and curb appeal — to help you sell faster and increase your home's value.

Process

How do I begin a remodeling or renovation project?

It starts with a free consultation — call us at (425) 500-9335 or request one online. We learn about your goals, style, and budget, then our designers and project managers create a clear, customized plan before any construction begins.

How long does a typical remodeling project take?

Timelines vary with scope and complexity, but most remodels take 6 to 12 weeks from design to final walk-through. As a design-build firm we give you a clear schedule up front, stick to it, and keep you informed at every stage.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. As licensed and insured builders, we handle all permitting, code compliance, and inspection coordination with your local jurisdiction — so you don't have to navigate the paperwork yourself.

Will I see a design before construction starts?

Yes. Our in-house design team creates 3D renderings and a customized plan so you can see your new space — layout, materials, and finishes — and refine it before we ever pick up a hammer.

Who manages my project during construction?

Your project is expertly managed start to finish by our team — site assessment, estimate, design, permitting, and construction — with a final walkthrough to make sure every detail is delivered before handover.

Cost & Financing

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes — your initial design consultation and detailed project estimate are completely free, with no obligation. You'll get expert design guidance, material and finish recommendations, and honest advice about your options.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, we offer assistance with financing your project. Ask us during your free consultation and we'll walk you through the options available for your budget.

How do you keep pricing transparent?

We provide detailed, itemized estimates before work begins and communicate openly about the budget throughout the project — transparent, fair pricing is one of the core promises we make to every client.

Licensing & Warranty

Are you licensed home builders in Washington?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured to operate in Washington State — license #HOMERDB750MH. Our team meets all required building codes and safety standards, so you have peace of mind on any construction or remodeling project.

How can I verify your contractor license?

You can look up our contractor registration (HOMERDB750MH) anytime on the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries website to confirm our active license, bond, and insurance status.

Are you insured?

Yes — we are fully insured for safe, code-compliant construction. That protects you, your home, and everyone working on site throughout the project.
