How do you change or add to the project during construction?

We know that changes and additions can happen during a remodel or even a simple paint project. Our team will work closely with you to ensure that any project changes or additions are made quickly and done well. Throughout the process, we will talk to you clearly and honestly and ensure that any changes are made to the project plan in a way that fits your needs and preferences.

According to This Old House, it's recommended to reserve at least 10% of your total remodeling budget for unforeseen issues or plan adjustments. Our team keeps this in mind if there are changes needed to the plan. For more information or to schedule a service, contact our remodeling contractor today!

What steps do you take to ensure my house is safe during a project?

We care very much about the safety of our clients and their homes. Our team takes all the necessary steps to ensure your home is safe during construction. This includes protecting floors and furniture with the right materials and following strict safety rules for our team. We also keep the construction site clean and free of dust and other debris. If you're looking for a caring remodeling contractor, call C-U Midwest Designs LLC.

Do you offer a guarantee on the work you do?

Yes, we cover all of our work with a full warranty. We aim to ensure you are happy with the result and give you peace of mind that your investment is safe. During the consultation process, our team will provide full details about the warranty offered for your project. Call a remodeling contractor at C-U Midwest Designs LLC today for a consultation.

How do I know when it's time to repaint my home?

Our team recommends painting your house every five to 10 years, or every four to seven years if it is stained. There are a variety of factors that can determine the lifespan of your current paint job, including the amount of prep work put in the last time and the quality of the paint used.

If you're looking for a painting or remodeling contractor, call us today. We cannot wait to assist you.

How do I know if I have lead paint in my home?

Our team always checks for lead paint! If you have any specific questions about lead paint, the EPA maintains a phone number you can call to ask questions: 1-800-424-LEAD.

How many coats of paint do I really need on my home?

For the exterior, we use a thick primer and a high-quality top coat. If you are using the same color or just a shade off, then one coat of each will do just fine. If the color is going to change dramatically, then we recommend using two coats of exterior paint. Stain jobs are always two coats unless you insist on just one and the wood isn't very dry. When we paint over aluminum or vinyl siding, we like to use two light coats. For more information on our processes, contact our painting remodeling contractor today.

How do I choose the right flooring for the right room?

For a bathroom or kitchen where there will be lots of moisture and potentially water on the floor, something like tile or vinyl flooring is ideal because it is durable and water resistant. Hardwood flooring is always a classic choice for any home, but even then, you'll need to choose between solid or engineered hardwood. Before choosing, make sure to consider the upkeep and the wear of different types of flooring.

When you need a remodeling contractor for flooring or renovations, call C-U Midwest Designs LLC.

Can you install new flooring over old flooring?

It depends. Laminate and vinyl flooring can be installed directly over existing flooring, and solid hardwood can be glued directly onto concrete. It's also important to consider factors like the age and condition of the floors, and whether it will serve as a sturdy base for new flooring. If you have more questions about flooring, contact a remodeling contractor at C-U Midwest Designs LLC today.

Is it hard to maintain hardwood flooring?

Believe it or not, hardwood flooring is not difficult to maintain. As long as you remember to vacuum and mop, your hardwood floors will last you a long time. If you have any questions about hardwood flooring or other services, get in touch with a remodeling contractor at C-U Midwest Designs LLC today.
