Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on scope. A cosmetic update moves quickly, while a remodel that opens walls, moves plumbing, or rebuilds the shower takes longer. John walks the room, explains each stage, and gives you a schedule before work begins so there are no surprises.

The biggest factors are whether plumbing moves, what is hidden behind the walls, the materials you choose, and how much custom carpentry is involved. John builds a plan around your budget and shows you where spending makes a visible difference and where it does not.

Yes. Uneven tile lines, vanities out of level, and trim with open gaps are common. John finds the cause, such as framing that was never straightened, and corrects it so the finish stays right.

An accessory dwelling unit is a second, smaller home on the same lot as a main house. It can be detached, attached, or built over a garage, and it has its own living, sleeping, kitchen, and bathroom space.

Many Boise lots allow one, but size, height, setbacks, and parking depend on your zoning. Confirm the rules for your address with the City of Boise or your local city early. John helps you plan the design and the building process around those rules.

Yes, and it should. John matches rooflines, siding exposure, window trim, and colors so the ADU looks like it has always belonged on the property.

Start by keeping and repairing original material wherever it is sound, then match anything that must be replaced. John records existing profiles before work starts and makes trim to match when stock pieces will not do.

Finish carpentry is the visible woodwork that completes a home: trim, casing, baseboard, crown molding, wainscoting, built ins, stairs, and doors. It is the work people see and touch every day, so precision shows.

Yes. John makes trim to match inside and out when stock profiles are not available. He has used this skill to restore homes more than 200 years old.

That is the goal. John matches siding, trim, rooflines, and interior details so additions look like they came with the original build.

The difference is in the fit: scribed panels against uneven walls, trim that ties cabinets into the room, and an island built to the right height and proportion. John fits and finishes these details by hand.
