We renovate the whole house under one contract.

We do. We prepare the permit set, submit it to the jurisdiction the address actually falls under, and schedule every inspection the job needs. Reno, Sparks and unincorporated Washoe County each run their own review, so the submittal is built for the one that applies to your parcel. You are welcome at any inspection, and you get the approved set and the inspection record at close-out.

The contract is a line-item scope with a draw schedule attached to it. Each draw is tied to a milestone that can be looked at: permit issued, framing complete, rough-in inspected, drywall closed, substantial completion. It is not tied to a calendar date. You are never asked to fund work that has not happened, and the final draw is held until the punch list is signed off.

Four things: a concealed condition we could not see before demolition, a scope change you ask for, something an inspector requires, or a selection that lands above its allowance. Every one of them is written up before the work happens, priced as labor plus material plus a stated markup, and signed by both of us. Nothing gets built on a verbal change, and nothing shows up as a surprise on a final invoice.

An allowance is a dollar figure carried in the contract for something you have not chosen yet: tile, plumbing fixtures, appliances, lighting. We publish the allowance next to the item and track the running balance as selections come in, so an upgrade reads as a number on the day you pick it rather than as a line on the last invoice. Selections made early are the single largest thing a homeowner controls.

We do. We hold one schedule for every trade on the job, and each trade is booked against that schedule rather than against its own convenience. If framing slips a day, you hear it from us that day, along with what it moves downstream. You never coordinate a plumber, and you never referee two trades that both want the same room.

Often, and we plan the job around the answer instead of discovering it in week three. Phasing, dust walls, floor protection, where the site toilet goes, which door the crew uses, and how long the kitchen is out of service are all settled before demolition and written into the schedule. On a whole-home scope, moving out for part of the job is usually faster and cheaper, and we tell you which part.

Search the Nevada State Contractors Board public record for the exact legal name that appears on your contract, not the brand name on the truck. Confirm the record is active, confirm the classification actually covers the work you are buying, and confirm the monetary limit on the record is above your project. Ask for the same name and number in writing, then verify it yourself rather than taking a screenshot of it.

Both, but we are built for multi-trade work. A single kitchen, a single bath and a deck are all normal jobs here. What we are not is the cheapest way to buy one product installed by itself. If all you want is a window, siding or door swap, that is not work we quote, and we tell you so on the first call.
