Here at Alair Homes Delta, we know what to expect during a renovation, and we aim to have it run smoothly and efficiently. If you have not renovated before, here are some things you may encounter.

Noise

Hammers, saws, never ending nail guns, air compressors, sanders – all very disruptive to your usual peaceful existence.

Dust

Dust, Dust and More Dust, So Much Dust! There is something about construction dust that ends up everywhere. No matter how well we tape, plastic and barricade, more settles the next morning. This is why we include cleaning as part of our full service.

Unexpected-Expect It!

We try to anticipate every possible issue lurking behind the walls, but you can never fully predict until you open them up – unsafe wires, leaky pipes, rot, rodents – never good – we provide the solutions and help you to make an informed choice.

Change Orders

Goes right along with unexpected. Any additions not in the Design + Estimation Scope of Service require a Change Order. A Change Order is for something you just must have, once construction has begun.

Decisions, Decisions, and more Decisions

So many questions to be answered, options to select, hundreds sometimes, and it can be overwhelming, but we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Delays

Best laid plans. Ordered product back ordered. Trades sick. Weather hold ups. We allow some buffer days and always aim to be on schedule, but please know every project has at least one delay.

Tipping Point

Every client has a saturation point, enough of their home being invaded daily by nice tradespeople, noise, dust, and you reach a point where you just want your privacy and everyday life back. This is completely natural and normal.

Outliers

We keep track of those little things that will need attention at the end of the project – sometimes there is an item or two that take a few weeks of waiting, but please know all items will be resolved, as well as we do follow up several times post completion to check on your absolute satisfaction.

Excitement

There are also moments of joy along this renovation journey! Fresh paint on the walls, the new hardwood flooring, cabinets installed, fireplace lighting up, five-star chandelier finally up – making it all worthwhile.

Celebration

You have survived your renovation, and are so thrilled with the result that you are ready to enjoy your new home and share it with your family and friends. Time to throw a party!!
