Frequently Asked Questions

A renovation updates or restores existing structures, while a remodel changes the layout or function of a space. Remodels typically involve more structural work, like removing walls or reconfiguring rooms. At Peak Concepts Construction, we help clients choose the approach that best fits their goals and budget.

Most kitchen remodels take 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the scope and complexity. Factors like custom cabinetry, structural changes, and permit approvals can extend timelines. Peak Concepts Construction provides detailed schedules upfront to set clear expectations.

Clear the work area of furniture and personal items, and plan for temporary disruptions to utilities or access. Review your project timeline and permit requirements with your contractor beforehand. At Peak Concepts Construction, we walk clients through each preparation step to minimize inconvenience.

Spring and early summer are ideal for outdoor projects, allowing completion before harsh weather arrives. However, planning and permitting during winter can position you for an early start. Peak Concepts Construction schedules year-round to accommodate client timelines and weather considerations.

Costs vary based on fixture quality, tile and material selections, plumbing changes, and square footage. Custom features like heated floors or walk-in showers add to the budget. At Peak Concepts Construction, we offer transparent pricing to help clients make informed decisions.

Permits are typically required for structural changes, electrical or plumbing work, and additions. Minor cosmetic updates often don't need permits. Peak Concepts Construction handles all permit applications and ensures compliance with local building codes.

Underestimating the importance of planning and setting unrealistic budgets are common errors. Skipping professional consultations can lead to costly surprises mid-project. At Peak Concepts Construction, we emphasize thorough planning and realistic budgeting from the start.

Yes, but moisture problems must be addressed first with waterproofing, drainage improvements, or sump pumps. Finishing over existing moisture leads to mold and structural damage. Peak Concepts Construction assesses and resolves moisture concerns before any basement finishing work begins.

General contractors coordinate all trades, manage schedules, handle permits, and ensure quality control throughout the project. This saves homeowners time and reduces stress from managing multiple subcontractors. Peak Concepts Construction provides full-service project management for seamless execution.

Cold temperatures, snow, and shorter daylight hours can delay outdoor work and material deliveries. Interior projects are less affected but may face scheduling challenges. At Peak Concepts Construction, we plan for seasonal conditions and adjust timelines to maintain quality and safety.
