Frequently Asked Questions

View our frequently asked questions below to find out more about home remodeling, our process, and more!

01.

When you decide to renovate your home, you can hire a designer to create the concept art, and then hire a contractor to bring the design to life. Or, you can hire a design/build company to handle every step of the process from start to finish.

Meridian Construction offers a design/build remodeling process to unify the workflow from initial concept to project completion. This means you have one contract, one point of contact, and one team working in unison to bring your vision to life.

The benefits of this approach include lower costs, improved communication, fewer change orders, and faster project completion. We recommend the design/build option for anyone hoping for a streamlined home renovation project.

  • Design: The first stage of the renovation will be the design phase. At this point, you will sit down with our designer and discuss what you are envisioning for your space. We take the time to learn about our clients in order to understand what is important to you, and how we can make this renovation turn from a dream to a reality. Once the vision is on paper, our clients can see the layout and even a 3-D model to help visualize the final outcome.
  • Build: During this stage our experienced carpenters will bring your plans to life. While they are working, our designer will continue to have weekly on-site meetings with you to keep you involved in the process. They will go over what has been completed as well as what you should expect for the upcoming week.

While the work is being done, and when your home renovation project is finished, the area will always be clean. The designer will have a final walk through with you to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the final project. At this point you will be able to sit back and enjoy your new space!

If you have a renovation project in mind, now you must decide: will you hire a remodeler or do the job yourself? The chance to save money is the biggest reason homeowners consider DIY remodeling.

However, this could end up being the wrong decision if you can’t answer “yes” to all of the following questions:

  • Do you have the time?
  • Can you stay motivated to see the project through?
  • Do you have the skills, tools, and experience?
  • Are you certified to complete the necessary plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work?
  • Are you an EPA Lead-Free Certified Contractor?
  • Are you able to obtain the necessary and correct permits for this project?
  • Do you have architectural plans to present to the township?
  • Do you have the skillset to tackle any unforeseen problems?

In the end, you can save time, avoid headaches, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure a professional job well done when you leave your home remodeling project to the experts.

The length of a project will vary depending on the scope of work, but we can give an idea of duration early in design. All of our construction agreements include an approximate start date and completion date during our design/build process.

Home remodeling can be performed year-round depending on the project. Renovation or remodeling of interior spaces can usually be completed any time of the year, though there are aspects of projects that can be weather dependent. For example, when completing a home addition, foundation or footing work should be completed when temperatures are above freezing.

EZA CONSTRUCTION takes your remodeling project very seriously. That’s why we give special attention to each step along the way. Here’s what’s involved:

  • Initial Meetings – A primary in-home consultation to get a sense of the scope of the project and if we are the right fit for one another.
  • Site Evaluation/Project Space Measure – Measurement of the current space to determine what work will need to be done.
  • Design Kick-Off Meeting – Discussion of the initial design and hearing out any concerns.
  • Preliminary Design Phase – Detailed computer-aided designs drawn up for review.
  • Design & Budget Overview – Project overview, tentative design, and project budget determined.
  • Final Design Development Phase – Modifying proposal as needed.
  • Construction Agreement & Deposit – Setting construction agreement and putting down deposit.
  • Project Selection Finalization – Finalization on hardware and finishes, as well as schedule.
  • Pre-Construction Meeting – Meeting to review contract and schedule.
  • Start of Construction – Beginning of demolition and construction.

Home remodeling is a complex process. Each project is different according to the existing structure, the size of the job, and the wants and needs of the client.

We take time with our clients during the design process to help understand costs associated with your project. We also do our best to identify any options you may choose in the future and include pricing for those options in our proposal.

Typically, when we sign a contract with our client, we hold true to the contracted price. We take the time to go over every detail of your project to ensure the cost is accurate. If there is any additional work or changes made to the project by the homeowner, this could be an additional charge, but our designers will go over the new changes with you before any charges are incurred.
