Construction FAQs for Baton Rouge, LA Homeowners

Call or send the form. We set a time to visit the property, look at the work, and take measurements. After that you get a written estimate that lists what's included. The visit and the estimate are both free.

Because it would be a guess, and guesses are how budgets get blown. Wall condition, access, plumbing, and wiring all change the price. Seeing the project first lets us give you a number you can actually plan around.

We accept credit cards along with the usual payment methods. Your estimate spells out the payment schedule for the project, so you know when each payment is due before any work starts.

The price only changes if the work changes. If we find hidden damage or you decide to add something, we stop, explain it, and give you the added cost in writing. Nothing extra is done until you approve it.
