Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a typical kitchen remodel take?

    A comprehensive kitchen remodel typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on the scope of work. This includes flooring installation, cabinetry, plumbing updates, and appliance installation. At Commercial and Residential Construction Services, we provide turn-key solutions with clear timelines during your design consultation.
  • What's included in a full bathroom renovation?

    A complete bathroom renovation includes design consultation, material selection, fixture installation, and post-completion support. We handle everything from flooring and tile work to plumbing and vanity installation. This approach ensures your bathroom is both stylish and functional from start to finish.
  • What type of commercial flooring lasts the longest?

    Epoxy and concrete finishing are among the most durable commercial flooring options, often lasting 20 years or more with proper maintenance. These surfaces resist heavy foot traffic, chemicals, and moisture better than most alternatives. At Commercial and Residential Construction Services, we provide professional installation and maintenance guidance to maximize lifespan.
  • When should you repaint the exterior of your home?

    Most homes need exterior repainting every 5 to 10 years depending on climate, material, and paint quality. In Bartlett, TN, humidity and temperature swings can accelerate wear. Professional surface preparation and quality paint application significantly extend the life of your exterior finish.
  • What's the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?

    Porcelain tile is denser and less porous than ceramic, making it more durable and water-resistant for high-moisture areas like showers and backsplashes. Ceramic tile is typically more affordable and easier to cut. Both work well for floors and walls when professionally installed using appropriate materials.
  • How do you prepare walls before painting?

    Proper preparation includes cleaning surfaces, repairing cracks or holes, sanding rough areas, and priming as needed. This ensures smooth, long-lasting paint adhesion and a professional finish. At Commercial and Residential Construction Services, we handle all surface preparation before expert paint application for residential and commercial properties.
  • Can you add a room without a full foundation?

    Some room additions like sunrooms or enclosed porches can be built on existing slabs or pier foundations rather than full basements. The best approach depends on your home's structure, soil conditions, and local building codes. Custom home additions require complete design and construction management for safe, lasting results.
  • What affects the cost of bathroom remodeling?

    Material selection, fixture quality, plumbing complexity, and the extent of tile or flooring work are the main cost drivers. Custom vanities, frameless glass showers, and high-end finishes increase investment. Design consultations help balance your budget with the stylish, functional space you envision.
  • How do you maintain epoxy commercial floors?

    Regular sweeping or dust mopping and periodic damp mopping with a mild cleaner keep epoxy floors looking new. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish. At Commercial and Residential Construction Services, we provide maintenance advice during installation to help you protect your durable flooring investment.
  • What's the biggest mistake during kitchen remodeling?

    Failing to plan for accurate measurements and workflow layout is the most common mistake, leading to poor functionality and wasted space. Rushing material selection without considering durability and maintenance also causes regret. Professional design consultations ensure your kitchen works as beautifully as it looks.
  • Do commercial ceiling tiles need regular replacement?

    Quality ceiling tiles and grids can last 15 to 30 years with minimal maintenance, though staining or damage may require earlier replacement. Regular inspections and prompt repairs extend lifespan. Post-installation support and quality checks ensure your commercial ceiling performs well from day one.
  • Why does drywall need texture before painting?

    Texture application hides minor imperfections, joint lines, and surface inconsistencies that would otherwise show through paint. It also adds visual interest and depth to walls and ceilings. Proper drywall finishing and texture create a smooth, professional base ready for any paint color.
