6 Things To Look For In Your Minneapolis
Kitchen Remodeling Quote

Ask The Right Questions To Find
The Perfect Contractor

Deciding on kitchen remodeling for your Minneapolis home is a significant investment that will not only improve your home’s value but also your comfort and satisfaction with your home. No more feeling cramped in your kitchen or not having enough room for the whole family to gather. Upgrading your kitchen is essential to getting the most out of your home.

However, once the initial excitement boils down, you need to start making phone calls and scheduling consultations with potential contractors.

But what things do you look for in a kitchen remodeling quote? Finding the right contractor can be easy once you know what to look for. A quote isn’t just a single slip of paper with a few numbers – it’s a detailed breakdown of everything regarding your project, from price to materials to disposal fees.

It can be challenging to find the right contractor when you don’t know what to look for in a kitchen remodeling quote, so we at Executive Remodeling have streamlined the process with this helpful guide.

1. Make Sure The Price Of Everything Is Written
Down In Your Kitchen Remodeling Quote

Price is one of the most significant concerns for homeowners when beginning their kitchen remodel. That’s why it’s imperative to have the cost of everything in writing – from the plumbing work to the cabinets to the disposal fees – before beginning the remodel.

While it’s easy to assume the cost of the materials will be written down, the costs of other services – like ordering a dumpster to haul away the old kitchen materials – aren’t so obvious.

2. Type And Quantity Of Each Material And
Product In Your Kitchen Remodel

If you want a particular type of countertop material, the amount AND type should be specified in your quote. This is to ensure there hasn’t been any miscommunication with your contractor. After all, it’s a whole lot easier to correct a quote before you accept it than to make changes once work begins!

3. Scope Of Your Kitchen Remodeling Work

Does your kitchen remodel include taking care of the plumbing and electrical work in your kitchen? Do you need additional services that the contractor doesn’t provide? This is important to know ahead of time so you know if you have to schedule additional work with another provider.

Hiring a design-build firm to oversee every detail can avoid scheduling issues and miscommunication. Executive Remodeling has provided top-quality design-build services for homeowners in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for decades. We take care of everything – from the products to the plumbing – and everything in between.

4. Labor Costs Are An Essential Part Of
Any Kitchen Remodeling Quote

The cost of materials is one thing, and labor costs are another. The contractor will pay its workers either by hourly rate, flat rate, or if their rate is included in the price of the installation of each task (for example, installing countertops or cabinets). Your quote should tell you how the labor costs are determined.

5. Your Quote Should Include A Written
Warranty For Your Kitchen Remodel

Having a solid warranty is important for a large project like kitchen remodeling. Knowing what warranty your contractor offers and what’s covered is essential to having the most peace of mind with your kitchen remodel.

6. Your Quote Should Have A Timeline
For Your Kitchen Remodel

Timelines can vary depending on unexpected work, such as water damage under your cabinets or leaky pipes. However, your estimate should include an estimated timeline for your kitchen remodel, so you can know when to expect your new kitchen.

After meeting with several Twin Cities contractors to find the right fit for our dream home addition, we chose Executive Remodeling because we valued their honesty, experience, and straightforward approach to planning and project execution. The team was easy to work with and responsive. We were treated with honesty and integrity and got an incredible amount of value for our investment. We couldn't be happier with the results.

1. This was our first big renovation. We weren't prepared for some of the decisions we needed to make before the project started. 2. Guidelines for what was expected of us before the project began wasn't clear, such as selection of: backsplash, lighting , tiles etc. 3. Once the project began, Executive Remodeling gave us a clear timeline with weekly updates. 4. Executive Remodeling staff was very courteous and respectful as were their contractors. 5. They informed us of what they were going to do with construction details i.e. - poly barriers, dust, etc. 6. They also had an excellent cleaning crew who did more than we expected. 7. We are extremely satisfied with the kitchen renovation and we will definitely have them involved in our other renovations.

We used Executive Remodeling to finish our basement. As first time homeowners with no construction experience, we could not have asked for an easier process. Workmanship was incredible, everything ran on time, communication was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end product. We would recommend them to anyone, and already have! We will definitely use them for any future projects that come up. Thanks so much to Ryan, Reed, and Katie!

Our experience with Executive Remodeling was excellent from Day One! We had our entire basement done, and they were great at helping put together our ideas with what was doable, staying within budget, and turning out a beautiful finished product. All of the trades that came were professional, courteous, cleaned up well after themselves, and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be more pleased and heartily recommend them!

'I can't recommend Executive Remodeling highly enough! From start to finish, they were responsive, communicative, and very easy to work with. They built a bathroom addition for us and stayed on budget and timeline throughout the entire project. All the people they brought in to work on the project were also kind, competent, and efficient. The team at Executive Remodeling went out of their way to ensure that everything went smoothly and the project turned out great!'

Excellent. Prompt and great workmanship. Very little disruption to our routine, and they cleaned up professionally. Handled the dealings with the insurance company as repair was caused by hail damage. This made the whole process easy. They also brought all the samples to our house for selection which was very efficient for us. Highly recommend Executive Remodeling.

We emptied out the basement for drain tile then re-installed what was taken out to preserve the investment in our nearly 100-year-old house. Executive’s team was supportive every step of the way. Their optimism and 'can do' attitude were helpful as we discovered complications. They got the right craftsmen for every step. We even added a new garden window to the kitchen upstairs, knowing we could trust them to do a great install. We sleep well knowing our wiring is up to code, and we enjoy a great deal of natural light in the basement because of their work.

'We recently needed some work done on our home and used Executive Remodeling. The communication and suggestions concerning our project were clear and very helpful. The workmen respected our home, were professional, left the worksite clean, and, when on-site, accommodated our need to be in and out of our home. The project was completed on time, and the costs were exactly as quoted.'
