The work is scoped against what your house actually is: its framing, its wiring vintage, whether the walls you want gone are carrying load. That assessment is what turns a rough budget into a number that holds.
Permits are pulled before anything is opened up. Work done without them surfaces at resale, when an inspector flags unpermitted square footage and the sale stalls.
Freeze-thaw cycling is the governing condition. Water that gets into masonry, grout or a roof detail expands when it freezes and widens the gap it entered through.
What the job includes
- Design and layout planning
- Permit filing and inspections
- Structural and load-bearing changes
- Electrical and plumbing rough-in
- Flooring, drywall and finish carpentry
- Final walkthrough and punch list
