“Just wrapped up my second project with Home Style Improvement and I am beyond pleased with the outcome! The team added a powder room to my tiny townhouse, and it is beautiful. They managed to make a small space feel spacious and comfortable. Now I have two gorgeous bathrooms that look and feel like they have always been in my historic home—but beautifully modernized. Thank you again, HSI!”

“If you’re looking for a contractor, Ron and his crew are your people. From the first meeting we had to quote the job to the final walk through, my husband and I were very pleased. Ron was very communicative which we appreciated. He was also easy to reach. Our job got done quickly without any issues. My husband and I tend to do most of our household projects, but did not feel comfortable adding a portico. Having someone else do the work was nerve racking for us both, but we were very pleased with the outcome. We will definitely be using them again in the future for other jobs. Highly recommend!”

“Home Style Improvement completed an entry half bath and front closet for me. Could not be happier! Gabby was super easy to work with and was patient with all my questions. Ron came up with a plan and made sure I was happy every step of the project. Marcio and team were awesome and took pride in their workmanship. They also made sure I was happy at every step.”

“We just wrapped up our basement project and I couldn’t be happier. I selected this company over three others. Pricing was competitive however they were not the cheapest. I decided to go with them because of their reputation and the first impressions during the estimation process. It was professional, well documented and thorough. Most importantly, they listened to what was important to me as the customer. I can tell you they delivered on every aspect and the end result has exceeded my expectations.”

“Home Style Improvement promptly provided an estimate after my initial call and outlined a clear plan for completing the work. They also offered flexible financing options. I requested that they expedite a portion of the project—installing carpet on our main stairs—before a holiday, and they accommodated this request, completing the work ahead of schedule in a professional and friendly manner.”

FAQ
What does a general contractor actually do during a remodeling project?
A general contractor oversees the entire construction project from initial planning through final completion. Instead of the homeowner coordinating multiple trades, deliveries, and schedules, the contractor acts as the central point of responsibility. As a licensed general contractor, we manage permits, inspections, and compliance with local regulations, ensuring the project moves forward properly and safely.
In many remodeling projects, the general contractor also serves as the construction manager, coordinating timelines, materials, and the various specialty contractors involved in plumbing, electrical, tile, and other trades. As the prime contractor, we are accountable to the property owner for the full scope of construction work, including scheduling, oversight at the job site, and communication with everyone involved.
This structure simplifies the process for the project owner and reduces the risk of delays caused by miscommunication between trades.
How do you manage communication and coordination during construction?
Clear communication is one of the most important aspects of any successful construction project. Many issues in the construction industry stem from poor communication, which can lead to misunderstandings, delays, and frustration for the property owner.
As your general contractor, we centralize communication through one organized system. We coordinate directly with specialty contractors, suppliers, and our internal team while keeping the project owner informed through updates and progress photos. Our approach to project delivery focuses on clarity at every stage, including documented timelines, written updates, and organized records.
By maintaining consistent oversight of the job site and all moving parts, we help ensure that different aspects of the build stay aligned and on schedule.
How are materials selected and managed for a remodeling project?
Selecting the right construction materials is a collaborative process. We work with homeowners to balance durability, design, and budget while coordinating orders and delivery schedules to keep the construction work moving efficiently.
As the general contractor, we handle procurement logistics and ensure that materials arrive on time and match the approved scope outlined in the contract documents. Because we regularly collaborate with trusted vendors and local professionals, we’re able to guide clients through material choices without overwhelming them.
Managing materials properly is one of the key responsibilities of a construction manager, and it plays a major role in keeping the project organized from start to finish.
What is your role compared to specialty contractors?
In the residential remodeling world, the general contractor serves as the primary coordinator and accountable party for the entire construction project. While specialty contractors handle specific tasks such as electrical, plumbing, tile, or HVAC, the prime contractor is responsible for overseeing the full scope of work.
That includes scheduling, reviewing progress, ensuring quality standards, and verifying that all work complies with local regulations. Instead of the property owner juggling multiple contracts or negotiating directly with each trade, we streamline communication and manage those relationships.
This approach protects the project owner from unnecessary stress and ensures the various specific tasks within the build are completed in the correct sequence.
How do estimates, bidding, and contracts work?
Every construction project begins with clear planning and documentation. After the onsite walkthrough, we prepare a proposal with detailed descriptions of the work to be performed, outlining scope, timelines, and expectations. This helps the project owner understand exactly what is included before construction begins.
Unlike large-scale commercial construction companies, our residential process is more collaborative than a traditional bidding process. We focus on alignment and clarity rather than competitive low-bid pricing. Once approved, the project moves forward under formal contract documents, and we maintain appropriate liability insurance to protect both the homeowner and the work being performed.
Working with experienced licensed contractors ensures that the project is completed professionally and in accordance with industry standards.
