Contact Whitlock Build & Remodel

Three things drive it: the size of the space, how much has to move (walls, plumbing, gas), and the finishes you choose. After the first visit we give you a rough range. Once the drawings and selections are done, you get a fixed price in writing.

A bathroom is usually weeks, a kitchen a couple of months, and an addition or whole-house job several months. Your proposal includes a schedule with the major steps. Permit review and special-order items like cabinets and windows are the usual reasons a start date moves, so we order early.

For most remodeling, yes. Moving walls, new wiring or plumbing, additions, decks and finished basements all need one in most towns. We draw what Madison asks for, pull the permit, and meet the inspectors. Work done without a permit can come back to bite you when you sell.

For a kitchen, bath or basement, almost always. We seal off the work area with plastic dust walls, cover the floors on the path in and out, and clean up at the end of each day. You'll know ahead of time when the water or power has to be off.

Work stops on that part and we show you. You get a written change order with the cost and any effect on the schedule, and nothing goes ahead until you approve it. The same goes for changes you ask for along the way.
