Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What does it cost per square foot for a remodeling project?
A. When you're considering having your basement finished or room remodeled, you need to remember that it isn't like going out and buying something off the shelf or out of a showroom. There are no set per square foot costs when it comes to remodeling. Each project is unique to you and your selections. One client may choose tile or hardwood floors, while another may want wall-to-wall carpeting, sports flooring or marble. Another project may have stock cabinetry and rooms with no crown molding while yet another has custom-made cabinets with intricate four piece crown molding and granite counter tops ...the list goes on. Personal needs, preferences, materials, the size of project, and many other factors all contribute to the cost variations of each project. No two remodeling projects are ever identical. Only after careful review of your specific construction details are we able to provide an accurate quote for your job.
Q. How long should I expect my project to take?
A. That depends on your project. Every project we undertake requires extensive preparation and planning prior to actual construction. The size, scope of work, and details particular to your basement or remodeling job will determine how long it will take to complete. We will always communicate the projected schedule to you in advance of starting construction.
Q. Do you do all the work yourself?
A. As a Design/Build firm we will do some of the work ourselves and some will be subcontracted. Typically Premier Basements performs all design work along with applicable floor plans. In addition, we perform all carpentry work, such as framing and trim carpentry. We only use professional, licensed (where applicable) subcontractors for such project work as plumbing, electrical and HVAC. We select our subcontractors based on their reputation and consistent history of quality work.
Q. Will you be the lowest bidder?
A. We encourage our prospective clients to compare the level of service they are getting for the investment they are making. While our bid may not always be the lowest, the level of service we provide before, during and after the project is what makes Premier Basements a builder of distinction and a contractor you can trust. Ask our many satisfied clients. Premier Basements will do our very best to make your dreams a reality rather than a headache.
Q. Why should I consider Design/Build?
A. You owe it to yourself and your sanity to be able to count on one firm to be accountable for your entire project. One company that can take your basement from conception to completion. All floor plans and drawings are done in-house by Premier Basements, providing an added measure of project control. This benefits you especially should you elect to make changes during the course of your project as sometimes will occur during the course of construction.
Q. I'm getting 3 to 5 estimates on my project. We're not, however, making our choice based on the lowest bidder. Would Premier Basements bid on our project as well?
A. We will be glad to cost your project as long as you have construction-ready plans and material specifications. Our fee for this is 1% of the project total, with a $300.00 deposit.
Q. Do you charge for an estimate?
A. Our initial consultation in your home is free of charge. This first visit usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. If you do decide to go forward, there is a charge for floor plans which we will discuss during our first meeting. Any floor plan charge, however, is credited back to the project's cost when Premier Basements is selected as contractor for your basement construction.
Q. When would you be available for an in-home consultation?
A. Please call us anytime Monday through Friday for available appointment times. 770-888-9989
Q. Who needs to be at our first meeting?
A. IMPORTANT - All parties who will be making decisions regarding your basement project should be in attendance at our first meeting.
