FAQ
Project duration varies significantly based on scope, apartment size, and complexity of requested modifications. A standard full apartment renovation typically requires six to twelve weeks from demolition through final cleaning. Cosmetic updates focusing on painting, flooring replacement, and fixture installations may complete within three to four weeks. Extensive renovations involving structural changes, complete electrical rewiring, or custom millwork can extend to sixteen weeks or longer. We provide detailed timelines during initial consultations, breaking projects into distinct phases with specific completion targets. Our project managers monitor progress daily, adjusting schedules proactively when unexpected conditions arise. Weather, material delivery delays, and permit approval processes can impact timelines, but we maintain transparent communication about any schedule modifications. Rush services are available for clients with urgent deadlines, though expedited timelines may incur additional costs for overtime labor and premium material sourcing.
Absolutely. Room Upgrade Pros manages all permit applications, building department communications, and inspection scheduling as part of our comprehensive service. Our team maintains current knowledge of local building codes, zoning regulations, and safety requirements, ensuring all work meets or exceeds legal standards. We prepare necessary documentation, submit applications on your behalf, and coordinate inspector access during required site visits. Permit costs are transparently included in project estimates, with no hidden administrative fees. Our established relationships with local building departments often expedite approval processes. We ensure all electrical, plumbing, and structural work complies with current codes, protecting you from future liability and ensuring your renovation adds legitimate value to your property.

We understand that renovation visions sometimes evolve as projects progress and spaces take shape. Room Upgrade Pros accommodates reasonable change requests while maintaining transparent communication about timeline and budget implications. When you request modifications, our project manager assesses the impact on existing work, material orders, and completion schedules. We provide written change orders detailing additional costs and revised timelines before proceeding. Minor adjustments like paint color changes or fixture selections within similar price ranges typically incur minimal fees. Significant structural changes or complete design reversals require more substantial timeline extensions and cost adjustments. We recommend making major decisions during the planning phase to avoid expensive mid-project changes. However, we remain flexible and solution-oriented, working collaboratively to incorporate your evolving preferences whenever feasible. Our goal is balancing your satisfaction with efficient project management that respects both your budget and timeline expectations.
Yes, our comprehensive pricing includes all materials required to complete your renovation according to specified plans and finishes. During design consultations, we present material options across various price points, allowing you to select finishes that align with your aesthetic preferences and budget parameters. Once you approve selections, those specific materials are incorporated into your fixed-price contract. We procure all products directly from our established supplier network, often securing better pricing than individual homeowners can access. Our quotes itemize material costs separately from labor, providing complete transparency about how your investment is allocated. If you prefer to supply certain materials yourself, we can adjust pricing accordingly, though we recommend allowing us to handle procurement to ensure proper specifications, warranty coverage, and timely delivery. We maintain contingency materials on-site to address unexpected needs without project delays or additional charges for standard replacement items.
Property protection is a fundamental component of our service protocol. Before work begins, our team covers floors with protective sheeting, seals doorways with plastic barriers to contain dust, and carefully moves furniture to safe locations or covered storage areas within your apartment. We use professional-grade air filtration systems during demolition and sanding activities to minimize airborne particles. Valuable items, artwork, and fragile possessions should be relocated to non-construction areas or temporary storage, which we can help coordinate through our preferred moving partners. Our craftsmen exercise extreme care when working around existing finishes, fixtures, and furnishings in adjacent rooms. We maintain organized, clean work sites, conducting daily cleanup to prevent debris accumulation. Our comprehensive insurance coverage protects against accidental damage, though our rigorous safety protocols and experienced crews make claims exceptionally rare. We treat your home with the same respect we would expect for our own properties.
Room Upgrade Pros backs all renovation work with a comprehensive two-year warranty covering workmanship and installation quality. This warranty addresses any defects, failures, or performance issues resulting from improper installation techniques or substandard work practices. Additionally, materials carry manufacturer warranties ranging from one year for standard products to lifetime coverage for premium fixtures and finishes—we provide all warranty documentation upon project completion. Our warranty includes prompt response to any concerns, with most issues addressed within 48 hours of notification. We maintain detailed records of all materials used and installation methods employed, facilitating efficient warranty service. Structural modifications carry extended five-year coverage, reflecting our confidence in engineering and construction quality. Our warranty excludes damage from improper use, lack of routine maintenance, or modifications by other contractors. We encourage clients to contact us immediately if any concerns arise, as early intervention often prevents minor issues from developing into significant problems requiring extensive remediation.
