  • How long will my remodeling project take?

    The duration of a remodeling project depends on its complexity. A minor bathroom renovation might be completed in 1-2 weeks, while extensive projects like full kitchen remodels or home additions could extend to several months. It's advisable to allocate extra time for potential unforeseen delays. For precise timelines tailored to your specific project, we recommend contacting Welter Construction to discuss your remodeling needs.
  • What should I consider when budgeting for a remodel?

    When budgeting for a remodel, factor in costs for materials, labor, permits, and a contingency fund of 10-20% for unexpected expenses. Focus your budget on high-impact areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, which can significantly increase your home's value. According to Architectural Digest, kitchen renovations can yield up to a 75% return on investment. For expert guidance on budgeting your kitchen remodel, consider reaching out to Welter Construction.
