Frequently Asked Questions: Remodeling Edition
Browse frequently asked questions and their answers below. If you find that you still have questions, please give us a call at 706-247-5762, and we’ll be happy to answer all of your questions relating to our remodeling services.
-
Get started by submitting the contact form on our website, or by giving us a call at 706-247-5762. Once we receive your inquiry, we will call you to discuss the “big picture” of your project. We’ll ask questions to determine the project’s scope and whether we’re the right people to get it done for you. If we’re a good fit, we’ll move forward with a site visit. Depending on the nature of the project, we’ll develop design plans and have them approved by you. The project will commence after you accept our proposal and pay a retainer, which is a percentage of your project’s total estimated cost.
-
Yes. You can rest assured that with Merry Mac Builders, you are working with an insured contractor who is licensed by the state of Georgia. Our license number is 23047001.
-
Sometimes. Home renovations in Georgia can lead to zoning complications, especially when they alter a property’s size, purpose, or overall footprint. Although minor interior updates like cosmetic improvements are often exempt, projects involving structural modifications, new rooms, or changes to electrical or plumbing systems typically need a permit and must adhere to local zoning regulations. We are here to help guide you through the process if your project requires a permit.
-
An interior designer is not required. Jack and Mary Anna can discuss your vision with you directly, and propose a design solution.
-
If you have an interior designer who has developed plans for your space, we are happy to work together to implement those plans.
-
It depends. We put up barriers to contain dust and debris to the work area, and homeowners are often able to live at home during the project. However, for larger renovations, a temporary living situation might be necessary. We will communicate with you regarding what is best for your situation.
