We charge $200 to visit your home and create the estimate for your project; however, the charge will be credited towards your renovation budget once work begins.

The scope of work for every project is very different and therefore the only way to determine the answer is at the time of your consultation with one of our Renovation Specialists. At the end of the consultation, they will provide a timeline for your individual project.

In the case of major renovations, such as changing your home’s layout or adding on to your home, yes.

Yes. All structural, mechanical and systems labor is covered by Light Box for one year following construction, and any appliances and/or mechanical components are covered by their manufacturer’s warranties.

Permitting, what materials are being ordered, the availability of our tradesmen, and when is most comfortable for you, too. During the consultation we can determine when we can start the project and what needs to happen leading up to that point.

We don’t finance at the moment, but we are working on it.

Part of your family, however, during the construction process we will ask you to keep them protected from escape, hurt themselves or damage the work in process as we cannot be responsible for taking care of your pets on-site during construction.

In a phrase: We plan to succeed, meaning we make all critical decisions prior to beginning construction. This front-loaded, design-first approach is the key to a swift renovation, cutting down on change orders so your project can come together efficiently.

We call this a change-order, and you are welcome to discuss changes with our design team, who will then appraise you of the resulting changes to the timeline and budget. If you approve, we sign the order and engage the changes.

In a phrase: We care. We care a lot. Almost like it was our own house being renovated. Large-scope home renovations can feel like major surgery to the client. So we emphasize great care in communication and accountability so you can feel secure that your project is proceeding efficiently and safely. The other area that we innovate is in emphasizing ‘design first’ process of picking all layout changes and finishes upfront, before the first hammer swings. This strategy helps cut down on time-wasting change orders and mid-project finish selection. This will require you to be decisive, but we work hard to guide you so you can be happy with the choices you make.
