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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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 today.
