Yes. We have several estimators that are located in many areas in Virginia. Our estimators will call to discuss your needs and schedule a time for an appointment, which is convenient with your schedule.

Once you have identified the type and amount of remodeling work you wish to have done. If you have several items on your remodeling wish list, prioritize each project as you see fit, based on your household needs and available financing; email us or give us a call to schedule a design/quote consultation.

Yes. You can also go to the contact us page and email us with information that you would like to have completed. When our team member meets with you, they will discuss all of the options that might be available, and help to guide you for what will work best for your situation. We also have a Computer Aided Drafting/Design (CAD) program that can help you and us to visualize the scope of the project.

Payment options vary from job to job, however generally at least the price of materials and travel to the job site is calculated into the down payment. A final payment will then be due at the completion of the work. Ultimately, any unresolved payment arrangements are finalized and agreed upon between the customer and contractor during the time that the customer awards the bid to us.

This will vary with the type and scope of the work being done. You can discuss these options and any time leading up to, during, or after your design quote consultation. We will work with you to establish a plan that is amenable to you and minimizes disruptions of your ongoing household activities as much possible.

Yes. We make special efforts to minimize our foot print both during and after completing our remodeling work, so you can better enjoy the remodeling process and its rewards.

You will have a project contractor who is there to answer any questions or concerns as the project progresses. Their job is to inform you and react to any reasonable request during the project. Many clients who don’t have this open communication with the contractor feel uncomfortable and sometimes feel they are not getting the value as a result.

Yes, if the modifications fit within the scope of the project, a modified quotation is created and when the customer and our Contractor agree, the project can easily move that direction.

Construction is inherently noisy; there will be noise at varying levels throughout the home renovation process. We will give you advance notice during the really noisy phases, particularly, concrete cutting, tile cutting, floor sanding, etc. so that you can plan your days accordingly.

The dust and dirt will be the worst in the demolition phase. Once we've got things stripped down to the frame, things will be fairly clean. Drywall installation and sanding will create a lot of very fine dust for a few days. We do our very best to seal off the rest of the house, but a little dust will always get through. It's a good idea to throw a plastic sheet over nearby sensitive items like electronics or fine furniture during this phase.

Depending on the scope of your home remodeling project, there will likely be some brief interruption to utilities. During the demolition phase, and when we bring in the rough trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), electrical, water and gas may need to be shut off anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. If we are connecting new gas pipes to your existing pipes, we will need to unhook your gas appliances and test the whole system for leaks. This could take a whole day. Moving an electrical panel or upgrading an electrical panel will likely also take a whole day. In any case, we will give you advance warning so that you can plan accordingly.

We have a detailed schedule on our project management system that keeps you apprised of daily activity, and also alerts you to approaching deadlines for selections and pending decisions. Following this schedule and meeting these deadlines assures that the workflow will continue uninterrupted. Our production team works with you to clarify your options, and answer any questions.

You will have easy access to your project production manager and can expect ongoing communication throughout the house renovation process. We also make full use of today’s modern computer-based tools to manage your project and keep you updated. We keep all project documentation safely stored online where you can monitor progress, manage change orders or simply send a short message with feedback to your team. When completed, we do a final project walkthrough to ensure every detail of your project is handled to your complete satisfaction.

A general rule of thumb is that a permit will be required if structural alterations are required or if the general living area of the home is changed. This is true for bathroom design, a kitchen makeover, or other remodeling services.

Yes. It is our responsibility as your design-build contractor to handle any necessary permits. The permitting process has become more complex over time because of changing laws and regulations. Being aware of what kinds of questions to ask, and when to ask them, can save valuable time, energy and expense. We have the advantage of working with the various permitting agencies throughout Silicon Valley and understand how to effectively navigate the process.

Each home remodel is unique, so this question isn't as cut and dry as one might think. The duration of your project depends on multiple aspects, including size of the renovation project, scope of work and materials/finishes used. At Acton Construction, we prepare a construction schedule for each remodeling project based on our full understanding of the scope. We also work together with the homeowner to ensure it can be completed within the estimated time frame.

If you are contemplating a whole house remodel, then yes, you will probably need to find other living arrangements during the construction period. Our design-build remodeling process is structured to minimize turnaround time, from tear down to completed project, so that you are not inconvenienced any longer than necessary. In just about every other type of home remodeling project, you should be able to remain in your house.

Tripp Remodeling warrants all labor in its contract work with home owner to be free from defects in workmanship for a period of two (2) years.

One of the things you can do to reduce the hard water build-up is to install a water softener system. There are different options for the whole house or just locally where you need it most, particularly, dishwasher or shower areas. Another option for the shower is to get a shower glass coating that will prevent spots on your shower enclosure.

If you want an ADA compliant bathroom, you should always select a curb less shower. If you are doing a bathroom remodel, the layout of a curb less shower can often result in structural changes to the floor framing, which can add cost to the project. For new construction or additions you can plan for the curb less shower from the beginning.

It seems that many people say that they need a bathtub for resale, but will never use it. We have been doing more home remodels that actually eliminate the bathtub completely and replace it with a shower that really works for the client.

Aging in place design is becoming a critical element these days. For showers, two important aspects of design to consider are grab bars and curb less entry. Grab bars are an obvious, easy addition as long as during design we make them work aesthetically. Curb less showers take significantly more planning, as we need to make sure the area of floor in the shower is lower than the rest of the framing. This means designing the framing to be recessed in that area.

There are many options for flooring, when designing a kitchen. If the kitchen design is an open concept, it is usually best to keep the same type of flooring all through the space. Hardwood floors, engineered hardwood floors, laminate, tile, linoleum or cork are some of the materials that can work well in a planned kitchen remodel. There are pros and cons to every material when it comes to price, aesthetics, upkeep, durability and physical impact. Consulting a professional will help you choose flooring options that are just right for you. If any of your questions can be answered prior to contacting us for a design quote consultation. If not, please don’t hesitate to email or call us with your questions.
