How much is this going to cost?

Considering a home renovation can be daunting.  There are dozens of home renovation shows and there are wide variations on timeline and cost.  Your geographic location, choice of contractor, schedule, existing home infrastructure, and materials choices will make a huge impact on the total bill.  It's important to remember that often the shows on tv are able to reduce cost because of freebies provided by advertising sponsors, contractors providing large-volume discounts, volunteer workers, designers paid by the network, and staging items that make the design but are removed when the cameras shut off and not included in the price.  Some shows make it look like a couple homeowners and a single contractor move mountains and make magic in the matter of a week or two, when in reality as soon as the camera cuts, teams made up of dozens of professionals descend on the work site and work day and night to make impossible deadlines.  They don't show the dirty work and the unglamorous surprises many homeowners find when demolition begins and the structure of the home is revealed.  Other shows are notorious for starting with a low estimate, and reliably having the budget go thousands of dollars over when easily foreseeable problems are encountered.  

At SNS ProServices we take pride in delivering a high quality product that sticks to the number we quote you.  Only our most experienced lead contractors will perform your on-site estimate, and at this time they can immediately give you a broad dollar amount of the project cost to see if we are somewhere in the ballpark of your wants and means.  If you decide to have us proceed with a formal written estimate, we will sit down and provide you a detailed list of the proposed work and a more exact price.  While this process generally takes us between 3 and 6 hours of lead contractor work, we provide this estimate to you FREE OF CHARGE.  If you decide to choose us for your home-improvement, we will then go on to provide a professional contract, detailing every aspect of your project from demolition to infrastructure remodeling to installation and finish, and we guarantee the price we quote you is the price you will pay.  No surprises, nothing left out, completed on-time and as promised.  

Many homeowners neglect to realize the amount of demolition, infrastructure and utility modifications, and expertise necessary to professionally install fixtures and finishes to the standards required for modern kitchen and bathroom designs.  It is always a good idea for homeowners to do their own research before deciding on a contractor so they can be prepared for the total cost of a renovation and make informed decisions on the products and professionals they ultimately choose.  While it can be shocking to realize that the cost of your new kitchen cabinets is only about 25-30% of the total price tag of your complete room renovation, there are many factors to consider.  So often we are called in to fix projects that have been stalled, abandoned, or botched by inexperienced or outright crooked handymen by homeowners who bite on a lowball price.  If it seems too good to be true, it is, and doing your due diligence and researching the people you trust with your home projects will save endless time and thousands of dollars.
