Remodeling Contractor FAQs

Welcome to our Remodeling FAQ Page where we provide answers to many common questions. Please contact Tailormade Inc. by calling (309) 829-6100 with any additional questions you may have or to discuss your upcoming remodeling project.

Q: How long will it take to complete my remodeling job?

A: Time frames vary widely depending on the scope of the remodeling project. Kitchen and bathroom remodels can take anywhere from a month to a few months. Whole house renovations can take up to six months. No matter how big or small your particular remodeling project, we will provide a written time estimate once the parameters have been established and agreed to.

Q: What if I want to make changes once the work has begun?

A: You may make changes at any point in the project but doing so will usually increase your costs. We will provide you with change orders that outline the proposed changes in detail and provide a cost breakdown so you can see how the changes will affect the final cost and make a decision on whether to implement the changes or not. You should also be aware that, in most cases, deviations from the original project parameters will also affect the actual completion time for the project.

Q: Do you use subcontractors?

A: The use of subcontractors is a widespread practice in the construction industry. We do employ plumbers and electricians on a subcontractor basis which allows us to offer more competitive prices to our customers. All our subcontractors are expert craftsmen who work with us regularly and all work under our direct supervision.

Q: Can I do any of the remodeling work myself to help control costs?

A: Depending on your abilities and physical condition you may be able to perform certain tasks yourself as a means of reducing the cost of labor. Most of these tasks will involve preparation or demolition activities such as removing fixtures or flooring. You should be aware, however, that although these tasks do not require a great deal of skill they can be time consuming and the cost savings may be outweighed by the inconvenience to you.

Q: How will remodeling affect the value of my home?

A: Research shows that remodeling your kitchen or bathroom will have the most profound affect on the value of your home. Depending on the scope of the remodel you may be able to increase your asking price by tens of thousands of dollars when it comes time to sell. If remodeling for the purpose of increasing the sales price of your home, you should focus on improving functionality, updating fixtures and appliances and achieving a unified look and feel. Don’t make dramatic style statements that could backfire.
