Straight answers
The questions homeowners, builders and designers ask before they call. If yours isn't here, ask it on the consult form.
Cost & pricing

Kitchen refresh $18k–$35k; mid kitchen $35k–$70k; full kitchen $70k–$130k+. Bath refresh $12k–$25k; full bath $18k–$40k. Basement finish $28k–$55k. Addition $95k–$210k+. Run your own band with the budget calculator.
How does design-build pricing work?
We price during design, not after, the team drawing your project knows what it costs and what the crew can build. You approve an itemized number before demolition.
Will the price change after I sign?
Not unless we hit something genuinely hidden, rot, failed wiring, a structural surprise. When that happens we show you the finding and the options before doing the work, never after. A contingency is named in the contract.
What does the design fee cost?
Roughly 6–10% of the construction budget on a design-build contract, or a fixed fee for a design-only package. Initial consultations are free; a paid design retainer is credited toward the project.
Do you offer financing?
Ask on your consult, we can point you to project financing options. (Financing partner details to be added.)
Timelines
How long does a kitchen take?
Plan on three to four months from first consult to a finished kitchen, most of it before demo. Construction is 6–9 weeks on site, plus a 1–2 week gap while counters are fabricated. See the full timeline.
How long is a bathroom out of service?
4–6 weeks on site for a single bath, with the same short gap for stone fabrication.
What causes delays?
Late selections, mid-build change orders, hidden conditions in older homes, and backordered long-lead materials. We front-load selections and won't start demo until critical materials are in hand or firmly scheduled.
Process, crews & warranty
Who's actually on my job?
One project manager start to finish, our in-house carpentry and finish crews, and vetted electrical, plumbing and mechanical subs we've run for years, all under our GC.
Do you work from my architect's or designer's plans?
Yes, bring the drawings and we'll build from them, and collaborate on material selection through the showroom.
Do I have to remodel the whole room?
No. Counters-only, cabinets-only, a fixture swap or a single trade are all normal here.
What's backed?
Our workmanship warranty on the build, plus manufacturer warranties on everything installed, including lifetime coverage on lines like Pfister faucets. We do a final walk-through and come back if something moves.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, licensed and insured New Hampshire general contractor, a division of RK Parisi Enterprises, Inc. References from recent projects on request.
What area do you serve?
Full design-build across the core Monadnock Region; countertops, cabinetry and tile a bit further out. See the town list.
