Question 1

How long does a typical remodeling project take?

Accepted Answer

Project timelines vary based on scope: a bathroom remodel typically takes 3–6 weeks, a kitchen remodel 6–12 weeks, and a full home renovation or addition can range from 4–9 months. TAV Remodeling provides a detailed project schedule during the planning phase so you always know what to expect before construction begins.

Question 2

What are the phases of a remodeling project with TAV?

Accepted Answer

Every TAV project follows a clear six-phase process: Initial Consultation, Design & Planning, Permit & Approval, Pre-Construction Preparation, Active Construction, and Final Walkthrough & Warranty. Each phase has defined deliverables and a client sign-off point before we move forward.

Question 3

How will we communicate during the project?

Accepted Answer

Your dedicated Project Manager serves as your single point of contact from day one through your final walkthrough. We use a client-facing project management platform where you can view daily updates, photos, and schedule progress. We also schedule weekly check-in calls and send a written summary every Friday.

Question 4

How much does a remodel cost in the Washington DC area?

Accepted Answer

Remodeling costs in the DC metro area vary widely based on scope, materials, and home conditions. Bathroom remodels typically range from $25,000–$75,000+, kitchen remodels from $50,000–$150,000+, and whole-home renovations from $150,000 into the mid-six figures.

Question 5

What is included in TAV's project quote?

Accepted Answer

Our quotes are comprehensive and line-itemized to include labor, materials, subcontractor work, permit fees, design coordination, project management, site protection, and cleanup. We do not provide allowance-heavy estimates that look low on paper but balloon once you pick real materials.

Question 6

Who is responsible for pulling permits?

Accepted Answer

TAV Remodeling handles all permit applications, submissions, and coordination with the DC Department of Buildings (or the relevant jurisdiction in Maryland or Virginia) on your behalf. All TAV projects are fully permitted and inspected, which protects your investment and ensures the work meets current code.

Question 7

Who handles the design — do I need to hire an architect separately?

Accepted Answer

As a design-build firm, TAV Remodeling integrates design and construction under one roof, so you do not need to hire a separate architect or designer for most residential remodeling projects. Our in-house design team works with you from concept through construction drawings.

Question 8

Who will actually be working in my home?

Accepted Answer

All TAV Remodeling team members are background-checked, insured, and part of our vetted team. For specialized trades, we work with a consistent network of licensed subcontractors who are contractually bound to TAV's quality and conduct standards. You will never have random strangers showing up at your door without prior coordination.

Question 9

What warranty does TAV Remodeling provide?

Accepted Answer

TAV Remodeling provides a one-year workmanship warranty on all labor and construction work from the date of project completion. If any TAV-installed work fails due to construction error within that period, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. Manufacturer warranties also apply to all installed products.

Question 10

Do you work on pre-listing renovations or investor fix-and-flip projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TAV Remodeling regularly partners with homeowners preparing to sell, real estate agents, and investors in the DC metro area. For pre-listing projects, we focus on high-ROI improvements and can work on compressed timelines. For investors, we offer competitive pricing on multi-project relationships.
