How long will it take to complete a renovation?

Following the consultation you will be provided with a quotation and a timeline estimate. Once we begin your project we will work continuously until the work is completed to your satisfaction.

How much will a stairlift or in-home elevator cost?
Stair lift installations typically cost between $3,500 and $6,000 depending on the type of lift you choose for your home. Electrical hookup is extra, as are any repairs that might be required as a result of damage related to the hookup. Elevators cost approximately $14,000 plus an additional $4,000 to $18,000 for installation depending on the construction required in any particular situation.
 
I have heard that home renovations can be very expensive. Wouldn’t it be less expensive to move into a supportive-living facility?
Moving from one’s home can be a traumatic and unnecessary experience. Although there are many different supportive-living facilities available, they can have long waiting lists and can cost between $2000 and $6,000, per month. An accessible living renovation in your home is the most affordable option for those who want to live an independent life in a familiar neighborhood.
 
Wouldn’t a home renovation be extremely messy and disruptive?
Renovations are never undertaken without some disruption; however, we do everything in our power to minimize the pain. We cover all traffic areas with clean drop sheets, enclose work areas with zippered plastic sheeting for access and clean up at the end of each and every work day. In the case of a single-bathroom household we try to ensure that the bathroom is operational at the end of each day. We never begin a project until all materials are on site and our trades people are on the job every day until the project is completed.
