Questions, answered
Timelines, costs, insurance and how estimates work. Anything else, just ask.
How long will my project take?
It depends on the scope. A room repaint can take a few days; a full bathroom or kitchen remodel takes several weeks. After the walkthrough you get a written schedule with the main milestones, and we keep you updated if anything changes.
How much will my project cost?
Every home is different, so we price each job after seeing it. Your estimate is free and itemized — labor, materials and allowances are listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Are you insured?
Yes. High Level Construction carries general liability insurance, and we are happy to send a certificate of insurance before any work begins.
Do you guarantee your work?
We stand behind our workmanship. If something we built is not right, call us and we will come back and make it right. Warranty details for your project are confirmed in writing with your proposal.
How does the free estimate work?
Call us or send the form with a short description of the job. We schedule a walkthrough at your home, take measurements and talk through options, then send a written estimate. There is no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle permits?
We help coordinate the permits and inspections your town requires and plan the work around them, so you are not left to figure out the paperwork alone.
Which areas do you serve?
We are based in Trumbull, CT and work throughout Connecticut and New York. If you are not sure whether we cover your town, give us a call.
