So, what happens when you request an estimate from Balza Construction & Remodeling? đ¨
Weâve been refining our estimate process, and we want to be transparent about what you can expect when you contact us about a project.
STEP 1: You reach out.
Before we schedule an in-person estimate, weâll ask you to send us a few things:
đ¸ Photos of your current space
đ The approximate size of the space/project
đ¨ A description of what youâre looking to have done
đĄ Inspiration photos or examples of what youâd like the finished project to look like
STEP 2: We talk realistic investment.
Before putting an in-person estimate on the calendar, we want to make sure your expectations and the realistic cost of the project are in the same ballpark.
Why?
Because if youâre expecting a bathroom remodel to cost $2,000 and the scope youâre describing is realistically closer to $15,000+, we would rather have that conversation before asking you to take time out of your day for an appointment.
The same goes for a deck youâre hoping will be $5,000 when the size, materials and design youâre requesting could put the project closer to $25,000.
Thatâs not meant to discourage you.
Itâs meant to respect your time AND ours.
Weâre a family-owned company. We have a family outside of work, an active project schedule, and other homeowners waiting for estimates who are ready to move forward with their projects.
Our in-person appointments require timeâtravel, walking through the project with you, discussing options, taking measurements, evaluating the scope, researching materials and preparing the estimate.
So yes, we qualify projects before scheduling that appointment.
And what if youâre getting multiple estimates?
We completely understand.
You SHOULD feel confident about the contractor you choose. Ask questions. Look at their work. Check their reputation. Make sure theyâre insured. Understand what youâre getting for your investment.
But we also want to be upfront:
Balza Construction & Remodeling is not positioned to be the cheapest contractor.
If the deciding factor for your project is simply finding the lowest price, weâre probably not going to be the right fitâand thatâs okay.
Our clients choose us because theyâre looking at the bigger picture:
âď¸ Quality craftsmanship
âď¸ Experience
âď¸ Communication
âď¸ Proper planning
âď¸ Professional project management
âď¸ Licensed and insured professionals
âď¸ Accountability
âď¸ And a company that stands behind its work
Our estimate process isnât designed to make it harder to work with us.
Itâs designed to make sure weâre a good fit for each other before either of us invests hours into the process.
And when weâre a good fit?
Thatâs when we can start talking about bringing your project to life. đ¨đĄ
