Cost & Budget
It's imperative to have a clear idea of your budget when renovating, remodeling, or making any changes. It's equally critical to have a realistic understanding of renovation costs and a reserve budget. It is impossible to estimate renovation costs accurately without complete building plans. Investing in a quote from Joe’s means working with a builder who has years of experience and a proven design process. In order to ensure a successful design process, we provide you with the most accurate estimates possible at critical stages. By working with a professional builder from day one, our clients can potentially save thousands of dollars on construction costs.

Our architects and designers work collaboratively with you to create construction-ready plans according to your dreams. We will walk you through every step of the process so you can make the right choice for your budget. The number one goal of our company is to make sure your plans become a reality.
Tradesmen
That's an excellent question. Our option is a construction company without a proven track record that does not use regular trades and has serious quality control issues. Every subcontractor we work with is thoroughly vetted, and we only hire professionals. Our company works with all the same companies, and if a new company is brought on, they are vetted.
Living Conditions
Answer: With our specialization in renovations and additions, that's a good question, and it's not unreasonable. Most of the time our clients choose to stay in their home while we renovate. It is not always an option, as sometimes the only bathroom is removed, making the house unlivable. Therefore, each case is handled individually. Additionally, we are very safety conscious and keep this in mind at all times.
Construction Terms
In contract documents, an allowance refers to a predetermined sum of money included in the contract sum, intended to account for cost of specific items that are not fully described or specified.
The document of record to increase or decrease the amount of work, record the blueprint, adjust the timeline, amend the cost or diverge from the initial undertaking in some other manner.
