Ways to Reduce Unexpected Remodeling Costs

August 19, 2020

Before remodeling a home, one of the biggest worries is cost. Learn how Feinmann keeps things predictable to limit surprises and enhance your expectations.

Key Takeaways

Predictable pricing is possible if you reduce the number of change orders throughout a project. A change order is an addendum or amendment to the original construction contract and scope initiated by the owner or contractor.

Costs of projects with Feinmann are much more predictable because we dedicate ample time to uncover potential issues during the design planning phase. This means our clients typically save more money and time because there is less chance of surprises and less a possibility that changes will be needed.

Feinmann’s average change order is 5%, compared to most contractors and remodelers who see 30%. Change orders with Feinmann are typically initiated by the client who wants to add more enhancements to their project because they are so happy with how the project is turning out.

At Feinmann, we create a very accurate budget plan upfront to ensure we can deliver a home you love for the way you live.

Please tell Chris Gonzalez that both Nick and I are very grateful for his thoughtful guidance during our two renovations with your company. He was a very very good teacher, patient and kind and obviously skilled. Please let him know how much we continue to appreciate what he taught us.

We had an excellent experience with everyone at Feinmann. Our project manager was responsive and kept communication clear throughout. The head carpenter was a pleasure to work with, and our designer/architect brought great talent and vision to the project. We highly recommend hiring them without hesitation.

We loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.
