Clear Answers Before Construction Begins
The best remodeling conversation explains what is known, what still requires review, which choices affect the scope, and what happens next.
Know What to Expect Before You Sign.
What should I send before requesting an estimate?
Send wide photos, close-ups of problem areas, rough dimensions, the project location, known repair or moisture history, product information when available, and a short list of must-haves. Explain what the space fails to do now and what result matters most.
How do I compare remodeling estimates?
Compare the actual scope—not only the total. Review demolition, preparation, trade work, product responsibilities, allowances, permits when applicable, protection, cleanup, exclusions, change procedures, glass or specialty work, and applicable warranty documents.
Will ASB provide a fixed timeline from the first conversation?
A working schedule depends on the scope, existing conditions, selections, product lead times, approvals, trade sequence, and approved changes. The project plan should identify known dependencies without promising the same fixed duration for every home.
Can a remodel be completed while we remain in the home?
Many projects occur in occupied homes, but the practical answer depends on scope and household needs. Access, dust, noise, children, pets, temporary kitchen or bathroom use, utility interruptions, deliveries, and daily cleanup should be discussed before work begins.
Should we keep the existing kitchen or bathroom layout?
Keep the layout when fixture and appliance locations, storage access, clearances, and traffic already work. Consider changes when daily function is the central problem. Moving components can affect structure, utilities, floors, ceilings, ventilation, and adjacent rooms.
Is tile itself the complete waterproofing system?
No. Tile and grout are visible finishes. Wet areas need an appropriate supporting assembly, waterproofing method, drain integration, sealed transitions, and installation consistent with the selected system and product requirements.
Should basement moisture be addressed before finishing?
Yes. Active leaks, damp materials, recurring moisture, drainage concerns, or condensation should be evaluated before finishes hide the evidence. The correct response depends on the source and may require specialty evaluation outside the finish scope.
Can every kitchen wall be removed for an open layout?
No. Feasibility depends on structure, support below, conditions above, roof or floor loads, utilities, and the available load path. Appropriate site review and professional documentation may be required before the opening or final price is promised.
Does ASB offer financing?
The current website presents remodeling financing as available for qualified homeowners. Exact lender, eligibility, rates, fees, payment examples, and promotional terms must come from current official financing materials before a production page goes live.
Where does ASB Remodeling work?
ASB is based in Nicholasville and serves Lexington and surrounding Central Kentucky communities. Project availability depends on location, scope, timing, and the services required.
