Home Remodeling FAQs

Thinking about starting a home remodeling project? You’re not alone! At RTR Construction, we get questions every day from homeowners looking to update kitchens, remodel bathrooms, add space with a home addition, or bring custom woodwork into their homes. Remodeling is exciting, but it can feel overwhelming—so we’ve put together a FAQ-style guide to help you get started with confidence.

1. Where do I even start with a remodel?

The best place to start is by deciding on your priorities. Do you want more space with a home addition? Are you craving a modern kitchen remodel? Or maybe a bathroom renovation is at the top of your list. Once you know your goals, RTR Construction will help create a clear plan and design that works for your lifestyle.

2. How long does a remodel usually take?

Every project is different. A small bathroom update might take just a few weeks, while a kitchen remodel or custom home addition could take a few months. As your trusted remodel contractor, we set realistic timelines and keep you updated along the way, so you know exactly what to expect.

3. Do I need to move out during construction?

Not always! Many homeowners stay in their house during a remodel, though there may be some dust and noise. For larger projects like whole-home renovations, moving out temporarily might make life easier. We’ll give you honest recommendations so you can plan ahead.

4. How much will my remodel cost?

Cost depends on the scope of your project, materials, and design choices. At RTR Construction, we believe in transparent pricing. Whether you’re investing in a custom kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrade, or a full addition, we’ll provide a detailed estimate and work with your budget to bring your vision to life.

5. Can I use reclaimed or custom woodwork in my remodel?

Yes! One of our specialties at RTR Construction is custom woodwork. We love creating unique features like reclaimed wood beams, built-in shelving, and statement accent walls that give your home character. If you want your remodel to stand out, custom woodwork is a great option.

6. What’s the benefit of hiring RTR Construction instead of DIY?

DIY can be fun for small projects—but for full home remodels or additions, hiring a professional contractor makes all the difference. We handle design, permits, scheduling, craftsmanship, and safety—so you can enjoy peace of mind and a finished project that adds long-term value to your home.
