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
What do projects cost around here?
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.
