Creating price certainty

In the world of home remodeling, surprises are rarely pleasant, especially when they affect your pocketbook. That’s why at DMB Contracting, we use an innovative approach to budgeting, ensuring complete transparency and control for our clients.

Work With Allowances, Not Guesses

Instead of ambiguous estimates, we work with clear allowances. These are predefined budgets set aside for various aspects of your remodeling project. Whether it's the materials you choose or a desire to upscale, we always provide you with an allowance that gives clarity about costs from the start.

The beauty of this approach? It offers flexibility. If you wish to invest in higher quality materials or adjust your choices as we progress, you have the freedom to do so, always knowing the financial framework.

Certainty of quality, as quality affects cost

Detailed, Transparent Estimates

Our commitment to transparency reflects in our detailed estimates. Each significant phase of your home remodeling has a separate allowance, ensuring you know precisely where and how your budget is allocated:

Demolition: From safely tearing down the old to prepping for the new.
Framing: Setting the structural backbone of your remodeled home.
Carpentry Work: Craftsmanship that brings aesthetics and functionality together.
Plumbing: Modern, efficient plumbing solutions that stand the test of time.
Electrical: Safe, state-of-the-art electrical installations for a modern home.

For instance, when we earmark a $4,000 plumbing allowance, it comprehensively covers faucets, toilets, sinks, and more. No guesswork, just clear numbers and it’s up to you to decide how you want to spend that budget.

With DMB Contracting, price certainty isn't just a buzzword—it’s our commitment. By putting you in the driver's seat of your budget, we ensure that your home transformation journey is not only beautiful but also stress-free.

What is a home addition?

A home addition is an expansion of an existing home to increase living space or add functionality. It typically involves constructing new rooms or spaces onto the existing structure.

Why should I consider a home addition?

Home additions can provide extra space for a growing family, create new rooms for specific needs (such as a home office or guest suite), increase property value, and enhance your overall living experience without the need to move.

How do I determine if a home addition is right for my property?

Assess your needs, budget, and available space. Consult with a professional architect or contractor who can evaluate your property and discuss the feasibility of your project.

What types of home additions are common?

Common home additions include room additions (bedrooms, living rooms, or family rooms), kitchen expansions, second-story additions, garage conversions, and in-law suites.
