Frequently Asked Questions

The Questions We Get Before The First Call

Straight answers, including the ones with a price attached. If yours is not here, ask on the call — we would rather tell you now than have it come up in week six.

Timelines

How Long Things Take

Three to eight months and up, depending on size and complexity. Straightforward projects sit at the lower end; if the floor plan moves or systems get replaced, expect the upper. Permitting is on top of that and runs separately.

Around three to five months depending on size, layout and finish level. Add at least two to four weeks for permit review before anything starts.

At least a few weeks, and often longer where permits, engineering or special-order materials are involved. Cabinets alone can run six to ten weeks on a custom order.

We run as a full-service general contractor, so the schedule stays flexible enough to take on new projects through the year. Ask on the first call and we will tell you honestly where the calendar sits.

Money

Fees, And What They Are For

Nothing to begin with. Tell us what you are planning and we can usually give you a ballpark over the phone, free.

Yes, $500. Once we have confirmed the project lines up with your budget, we come to the property for an in-depth visit. It is chargeable because it is real work — measuring, assessing and producing something you can build from, rather than a sales visit.

Anything outside the original scope needs a formal change order, and there is a flat $250 change order fee. That is deliberate friction: it keeps changes considered rather than casual, and it means the scope you signed stays the scope you are paying for.

Our focus is larger remodels, additions and ADUs. We do occasionally take on smaller work, typically in the $10,000 to $20,000 range, but it depends on the project and the schedule.

How We Work

Design, Permits And Communication

We handle most project planning in-house and partner with engineers where plans need to meet structural and code requirements. You are not managing a designer and a builder separately, and there is no argument about whose fault a drawing is.

Yes, all of it, start to finish. Cache Valley has three different permit paths depending on your address — some cities issue their own, others hand the building permit to Cache County. We submit the plans, manage the review and meet the inspector on site.

Consistently, through every phase, including the weeks when the news is not good. Communication is the thing homeowners complain about most with contractors, and it is the cheapest thing to get right.

Cache County and Box Elder County. Logan is home and where we do the most work — see Cache County for the town-by-town detail, including who issues your permit.

Still Have A Question?

Ask it on the first call. No pitch, nothing signed, and a straight answer on whether we are the right company for your project.
