Why can't I wait to pick out my selections?

We build very timely projects. In order to do that, all materials must be ordered and delivered on time to ensure that everything is selected and in route to avoid delays, shortages, back orders, or any problems that may arise. Additionally, other items need special preparation long before they are installed (towel bars have extra support built during the framing stage) or other items such as carpet or hardwood floors have long lead times prior to installation.

Do I need to vacate the premises for a kitchen remodel or room addition?

If we are just doing a kitchen remodel or a room addition, then you do not need to vacate your house. But if we are doing a major or whole house remodel, we do recommend you temporarily move out for your own peace of mind.

Should I start taking Prozac after I sign on the dotted line?

Unlike what you may have heard about construction horror stories, a Brad Harley Construction Company remodeling and general construction experience can and does run smoothly. Why? Because Brad Harley Construction Company offers excellent customer service supported by the many systems of checks and balances successfully developed over time.

Do you recommend a particular season or time of year to begin a remodel or room addition?

We work all year round and have experience working and scheduling for all types of weather.

Will I have to kennel my house pets during remodeling?

It depends how sensitive your pet is to noise and dust. While we don't necessarily recommend that you kennel your pet during a small project, we always recommend you put them in a safe room, away from the construction work for their own safety
