Frequently Asked Questions

What should I consider before starting a remodeling project?

Before beginning a remodeling project, consider your goals for the space, your budget, and the project's timeline. Also, think about how the remodel will affect your daily routine and whether you'll need to make alternative living arrangements.

Do I need permits for my remodeling project?

Most remodeling projects require permits, especially if they involve structural changes, electrical or plumbing work, or significant alterations. Morrissey Design + Build will handle the permit process to ensure all work complies with local building codes and regulations.

How long does a typical remodel or custom-build project take?

The duration of a remodeling project varies significantly based on its scope, size, and complexity. A kitchen update can take as little as 6 weeks, while a major first-floor renovation can last several months. Our team will provide a detailed timeline upfront, setting realistic expectations for the project's completion.

How can I ensure my remodel stays within budget?

To keep your remodel within budget, clearly communicate any financial constraints. Prioritize your needs and wants, and set aside a contingency fund to prepare for unexpected costs.

How do you handle changes or revisions during the project?

We are committed to your satisfaction and understand that changes may be necessary as the project evolves. Our process allows for flexibility, and we work closely with you to accommodate revisions while keeping you informed about any implications for the timeline or budget.

What does your process look like?

Our process starts with a design consultation and proposal. From there, we go into the planning phases, meeting with you several times to finalize layouts, timelines, and material selections. From there, our construction team implements the plans, adhering to timelines as best as possible. Before we consider your project complete, we take you through a 14 or 21-day post-construction walk-thru to make sure nothing is missed.
