Eren Design & Remodel does provide homeowners with a free consultation where we discuss your needs, desires and often your budget.

We have all heard remodeling horror stories. Eren Design & Remodel is out to alter peoples’ perceptions of home remodeling. We believe a contractor should be judged not only on their finished product, but on their performance during the entire design and build process.

Our attention to detail ensures our clients are comfortable and involved from the start. Eren Design & Remodel‘s commitment to your quality of life is just as important as our unique, award-winning designs. We cater to the homeowner who values both.

Absolutely. Approximately 55% of our projects are performed when our clients are out of town. We work from a detailed Scope of Work that clearly defines the plan for your individual project. We also keep our clients informed throughout the remodel process through the use of digital photography and weekly phone calls.

Eren Design & Remodel schedules appointments Monday through Friday during hours of daylight and on one Saturday each month.

Schedules will vary. During the initial consultation, we will be able to provide to you an approximate duration of your project and possible start dates.

We can, and we do.

Each consultation is based on individual needs. However, our typical initial consultation will last about two hours, and they will generally be held at the home that is to be remodeled.

It depends on three things: the extent of the work to be performed, the size of your home and whether or not there is sufficient space to provide safety and comfort during the remodel process, and lastly your tolerance for the intrusive nature of having work done within your living space. We do all we can to manage the remodeling activities, but day-to-day living activities are affected.

In our experience, it is a rare day when a client knows what their envisioned remodeling may cost. What works the best are open discussions. It is safe to say remodeling almost always costs more than you think. Early in the design process, we will provide you with a ballpark range for the work you are planning. Unknown conditions in the construction industry average an additional 10% to the client. Eren Design & Remodel‘s “unknowns’ are typically less than 2%.

We always work for a fixed price that will only be altered if there are change orders. The payment schedules vary dependent upon the amount of special order products involved in your project, but typically we collect 15% of the contract sum at the time of signing the contract, 20% at the start of work, equal monthly installments during projects of long duration and 5% at the final inspection. Small projects are generally paid 50% at the time of contract and 50% upon completion.

After the design process is complete, clients sometimes feel the budget required to accomplish what they have designed is higher than they are comfortable investing. This is a natural part of the process, and we work with clients to achieve a balance between their vision and possibilities. At this time, we begin the development of a construction document, which includes offering suggestions in each area of the project to help bring the budget back into line. Does that mean that we lower our prices simply because we are asked to? No, it does not. Because we absolutely believe in fair and honest pricing, our pricing is commensurate with the scope of work and project details our clients select. This is what we can promise.

Purchasing a home remodel is more like buying a car than it is a trip to Costco. When you buy a car, the base cost includes everything you need to operate that car at the comfort level you are willing to pay with all of the items necessary for that car to operate included in that cost. You can select options to upgrade the vehicle and increase your cost of ownership. When we are developing our remodel projects, so much of the cost to produce that project are fundamental and indispensable to the project and end up being part of the base price. If you wanted to know what the effect is of changing cabinets from oak to cherry, or what could be saved if you eliminated the heated towel bar, we can detail these choices for you.

We have set our pricing formulas and manage our overhead so that we can produce an 8% net pretax profit, which is used to grow the company.
