Estimates, schedules, permits and what happens after the job, answered plainly.
A project lead replies the same working day.
Yes. The on-site walkthrough and the itemized written estimate are free, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
We visit, measure and photograph the space, talk through what you want, then write up every line of work, materials, allowances and any permits. You see exactly what drives the cost.
Two projects that sound the same can be very different once we see the space: wall conditions, plumbing locations and access all change the work. A walkthrough keeps the estimate accurate and avoids surprises later.
Each part of the job listed separately, such as demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, finishes and cleanup, plus material allowances, permit costs where required and anything that is not included.
If we find something unexpected, like old water damage behind a wall, we stop, show you photos and price the extra work in writing. Nothing is added to your bill without your written approval.
Small repairs can often be booked within the week. Larger projects start once the estimate is approved and materials are confirmed, and you get the start date in writing.
It depends on the scope. As a guide, a bathroom refresh is usually one to two weeks and a full bathroom remodel three to five weeks on site. Your written schedule gives you the dates for your project.
Usually, yes. For single-room projects we contain the work area and keep the rest of your home usable. For larger projects we tell you upfront if a few days away would make things easier.
Floors and walkways are protected, dust walls go up around the work area and the site is tidied at the end of every day.
Sometimes, for short periods when plumbing or electrical work requires it. We give you notice before anything is switched off.
Yes. SOMO carries current licensing and general liability insurance, and we are happy to show you the documentation before you sign anything.
Yes, where the work requires them, usually when plumbing, electrical or structural work changes. Permit costs are listed on their own line in your estimate.
For damage repairs we provide an itemized scope, moisture readings and photos, which adjusters usually ask for. Decisions about coverage stay between you and your insurer.
