Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you renovate?

If you’re wondering whether your location is a fit, we encourage you to reach out—we’re always open to a conversation.
Do you offer design-build services, or do I need to hire my own architect/designer?
Yes—we offer full design-build services and can take care of everything from concept to completion. Our team will guide you through the entire process of designing and renovating your home.
If I already have a designer or architect, can I work with you?
Absolutely! If you already have a designer or architect, we’re happy to collaborate. Our team has extensive experience working alongside architects and interior designers to bring luxurious renovation projects to life. We’re here to support the process and help deliver a home that reflects your personal style and the way you want to live.
What types of home renovations do you specialize in?
We specialize in whole-home makeovers and additions to a wide range of home renovations, including transforming kitchens and bathrooms.
What’s the first step in starting a renovation project with Empire Custom Homes?
The first step is to reach out to us for an initial consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and from there, we’ll develop a plan and design that brings your ideas to life.
How long does a home renovation typically take?
The timeline for a renovation depends on the scope of work. Projects like a kitchen update will take less time than full-home renovations. Once we understand your specific needs, we’ll provide a detailed project schedule tailored to your renovation.
Can I live in my home during the renovation?
In many cases, you can continue living in your home during the renovation. However, for major projects or those involving multiple rooms, temporary relocation may be necessary for your comfort and safety. We’ll discuss this with you during the planning phase.
How do you ensure quality during the renovation?
We have over 20 years of experience in home renovations, and our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality results. From sourcing premium materials to employing skilled craftsmen, we ensure that every detail is handled with care and precision throughout the renovation process.
Can I make changes to the renovation plan during the project?
Yes, we understand that ideas may evolve during the renovation process. We work closely with you to accommodate any changes, ensuring that the final result aligns with vision and priorities.
Do I need to have a specific design in mind before starting a renovation?
While it’s helpful to have an idea of what you want, our team can assist you with design concepts and ideas based on your needs and preferences. We work with you to create a design that suits your home and lifestyle.
How do you handle budgeting for home renovations?
We work closely with you to establish a realistic budget based on your vision for the project. Throughout the renovation, we maintain transparency about costs and keep you informed of any changes or unexpected expenses.
Do you work with preferred trades, or can I choose my own?
We work with a trusted network of trades and suppliers we know and rely on to meet our standards for quality and craftsmanship. This allows us to ensure consistency, efficiency, and accountability throughout the entire build process.
How do you keep clients updated during the renovation?
We believe in open, consistent communication throughout your project. You’ll receive weekly updates at the end of each week, and we also use project management software where you can log in anytime to view, progress photos, and important details about your renovation.
Can you incorporate smart home technology into my renovation?
Absolutely. We can integrate a wide range of smart home features—from lighting and climate control to security systems and whole-home automation. Whether you have specific products in mind or need guidance, we’ll help customize your home with the technology that fits your lifestyle.
