FAQs

Why hire Honig Home Remodeling?
There are many reasons why you should hire Honig Home Remodeling for your remodeling project. Firstly, we have over three decades of valuable experience in home remodeling, thus giving us an edge in expertise over many of our competitors. We can help you through all phases of your project from planning and budgeting to designing and building. We are dependable, professional and trustworthy and know that you will enjoy working with our friendly father and son team.

I need help with planning and design. Do you offer these services?
Absolutely. HHR will help you plan your layout, select cabinetry, windows, fixtures and materials at no additional cost. Additionally, we can refer you to a number of exceptional design professionals when required.

How much will it cost?
HHR will help you develop a preliminary construction budget based on each projects’ unique requirements. We will also review the annual Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, which compares construction costs with resale values for 30 mid-range and upscale remodeling projects.

What if the project goes over budget?
HHR’s estimates are accurate and on budget. We take the extra time to provide a very detailed estimate in the beginning, which ensures that your project will not go over budget. If the parameters of the project change during construction, the client will receive a change order for approval before we continue.

We’re on a set budget. Can you work within a budget?
We are happy to offer money-saving suggestions and help you find solutions to complete your project within your budget.

Can you recommend financing options for remodeling?
Yes. We can suggest home equity lines through Bank of the West and can help you get started with this process.

What if a worker is injured on our property?
Safety is very important to HHR and we employ best safety practices on the job at all times. However, should the unfortunate event of an injury occur, we are fully insured with workers’ compensation and liability insurance. Before your project starts, we will send you proof of insurance certificates for your records.

Will it be disruptive and messy?
At HHR we will always go the extra mile to carefully seal our work areas when needed so that you don’t have fine dust and debris covering your house during construction. We always clean up thoroughly at the end of each day and remove construction materials and tools from your living areas. We strive to make our clients as comfortable as possible during the various phases of construction.

Do you use building permits?
Absolutely. All of our work is performed to code for the safety of you and your home. We are well aware of all the current codes and will obtain these permits for you from the city or county.

How long have you been in business?
Since 1979! That equals several decades and hundreds of projects in which we have gained valuable experience, insight and wisdom. We continue to keep abreast of latest approaches, technologies and best practices through our builder’s association and trade journals, and have developed a reputation of excellence with our clientele.

Do you employ “green” or “sustainable” building practices?
Energy efficiency is always one of our goals. We help clients select windows, insulation, water fixtures, air conditioning and heating units that perform to all current energy efficiency standards. Additionally, we make the extra effort during our construction phases to seal, caulk and insulate for optimal energy conservation.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Honig Home Remodeling has completed the training and received certification from the Federal Environmental Agency (EPA) to conduct lead-based paint renovation, repair, and painting (RRP) activities.

All contractors performing renovation, repair or painting work in homes built before 1978 must follow lead-safe work practice requirements. The result will better protect children and adult occupants during and after renovation, repair and painting projects.

The lead-safe work practices include dust control, site clean up and work area containment. It is important that contractors take proactive steps to protect children, families and themselves from exposure to lead-based hazards.
