FAQ

What will my project cost?

We like to say there is a project for every budget.

We can tailor the scope of your project to meet your financial goals. Generally, a lower budget involves fewer structural changes while more extensive internal remodeling will increase the overall cost. Our experienced remodeling team works to balance your vision with your budget to provide the best possible results,

How do you approach a project?

At Smiley Renovations, our approach to remodeling projects is rooted in a comprehensive, client-focused design-build process. As trusted home remodelers in Montgomery County and Northwest DC, we provide all-in-one remodeling solutions that begin the moment a proposal is signed.

Once a proposal is signed, we begin by confirming all zoning regulations and taking precise "as-built" measurements to ensure every project is feasible and legally compliant. Our experienced team then develops two to three initial customized designs, providing clients with detailed floor plans and 3D renderings to help them visualize their future space.

We prioritize collaboration, sharing everything with the client to gather feedback and integrating those revisions into the final plan. This meticulous preparation, which includes managing permitting and construction logistics, typically allows us to be ready with final proposals within a few weeks, ensuring a seamless transition from design to the start of the renovation.

Do you provide bundled services for multiple renovation projects?

Yes, as expert home remodelers we offer all-in-one remodeling solutions by bundling our services. Our design build services combine design, permitting, and construction into a single, seamless process.

For clients considering multiple custom remodeling projects within the same home, bundling is highly beneficial. It provides an economy of scale, making it a cost-effective way to manage various upgrade solutions simultaneously under one comprehensive project plan.

Can I live in my home during a renovation project?

Whether you can live in your home during a renovation depends on the specific scope of your project. As an experienced renovation team, we understand the importance of balancing your daily life with your home’s transformation.

Here is how our renovation experts approach living arrangements:

Staying in Your Home: For many projects, our crews are specifically trained and equipped to accommodate homeowners. We prioritize clear communication regarding plumbing and electrical time tables, work around your daily schedule and provide notifications so you know exactly what will happen and when. 

Moving Out: For major structural changes that impact every part of the home, our renovation experts may recommend moving out. This ensures your comfort and often allows the experienced renovation team to complete the work much more quickly.

By offering these tailored solutions, we ensure that whether you stay or relocate, your renovation is handled with professional care.
