How much do remodels usually cost?
Costs depend on size, scope, and finishes. Bathrooms often start around $15K, kitchens around $40K, basements $25K+, and decks or additions vary widely. After your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed, fixed-price proposal—so you know exactly what’s included.
How long will my project take?
Most bathrooms run 3–6 weeks, kitchens 6–10 weeks, basements 4–10 weeks. Decks and additions depend on size and season. Whether we’re using our crew or trade partners, we manage the schedule and keep you updated daily.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. MBI Construction pulls the permits and coordinates all inspections. You won’t have to juggle paperwork or inspectors—we take responsibility for compliance.
Will I need to move out during the remodel?
Not usually. Most families stay in their home. If it’s your only bathroom or kitchen, we’ll help plan temporary arrangements to keep your routine as smooth as possible.
What should I expect during the remodel process?
You can expect some noise and the temporary inconvenience of us being in your home, but also regular updates, clear communication, and respect for your home. Your satisfaction is our top priority, so minimizing as much disruption to your daily life, and making your remodel as stress-free as possible is what we have build our business on. Check out Our Process to learn more.
Can I choose my own materials and finishes?
Absolutely! You’ll have full control over design choices, and we’ll guide you through selecting materials that fit your style and budget. If you are looking for more of a hands-off approach, we can accommodate that as well, and can present you with options to choose from instead.
What if you find hidden problems (like water damage or unsafe wiring)?
We’ll stop, explain what we found, and present solutions before moving forward. Hidden issues happen, but you’ll never be left in the dark or surprised at the end.
What’s included in my remodel?
Your proposal covers the full scope—framing, finishes, trade work, and cleanup—so you know exactly what’s included. We may bring in licensed partners for plumbing, electrical, or specialty items, but everything runs through MBI and to our standards.
Do you use subcontractors?
Yes, for certain trades. We combine our in-house crew with vetted trade partners (like licensed plumbers and electricians) when it benefits quality and efficiency. You’ll never have to manage subs—we coordinate everything and remain accountable for the final result.
What warranties do you offer?
Every project includes our 1-year workmanship warranty, plus manufacturer warranties on materials. Even if a trade partner does part of the work, we stand behind the entire project.
How do you keep my home livable during the project?
We protect floors, control dust, and clean up nightly. Whether it’s us or a trade partner on site, we enforce these standards so your home stays safe and livable.
How do I know I can trust your team in my home?
Our crew and trade partners are background-checked, insured, and expected to uphold our core values: honesty, reliability, and respect. If they’re in your home, it’s because we trust them.
What if there are delays?
Delays are rare, but weather, materials, or inspections can sometimes cause them. If that happens, you’ll hear from us immediately, along with a clear plan and updated schedule.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
We oversee all plumbing and electrical. Licensed partners perform the specialized trade work, but you’ll never have to coordinate multiple contractors—we manage it all under one roof.
Can you help with design or layout ideas?
Yes, at a practical level. While we’re not a full design firm, we’ll guide you on layout, flow, and finishes that make sense for your space and budget. We’ll also connect you with trusted suppliers for selections, so you’re never on your own.
Do you work year-round, or just in certain seasons?
We remodel interiors (bathrooms, kitchens, basements) year-round. Exterior projects like decks or additions are weather-dependent, but we schedule them carefully to minimize disruption and keep things moving.
How do you choose your trade partners?
We only work with licensed, insured professionals we’ve vetted for reliability, craftsmanship, and respect for homeowners. If someone’s on your project, it’s because we trust them to represent MBI’s values.
Will my project increase my home’s value?
In most cases, yes. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and decks are among the top remodels for resale value. Beyond ROI, we focus on creating spaces that add daily comfort and functionality—so it pays off both now and later.
What makes MBI Construction different from other contractors?
We combine craftsmanship with communication. That means nightly cleanups, daily updates, and one accountable point of contact. We don’t just build projects—we build trust, and we stand behind every job with our 1-year workmanship warranty.
