When the walls open up
Rot, non-code wiring, and unvented drains.
No walkthrough sees behind finished drywall. Rot under a shower pan, wiring that never met code, a drain that was never vented, framing cut out for a duct run: these turn up on remodel work. What protects your budget and your finish date is how they get handled the day they appear.
What can be seen without demo
We inspect the areas we can reach without opening walls. The written scope records the assumptions behind the price so you can review them before you sign.
Allowances show what the price assumes
We include allowances for conditions we can anticipate but cannot measure during the walkthrough. Each allowance is part of the original scope.
You hear it the day we find it
We photograph concealed damage and walk it through with you the day we find it. The repair and any change to the finish date are worked out before you approve the next step.
You approve before the date moves
The repair is priced as its own decision, with its effect on the finish date beside it. Work stops until you approve it, and a revised date always comes with the reason behind it.
