Do I need to have plans drawn first before you can give me a price on my project?
No. Unlike most contractors, we will spend time with you determining the best solution for your goals and situation, and draw a preliminary plan on our in-house computerized CAD system for your review. Once you’re happy with the design, we will prepare a written estimate of costs with drawings – all for FREE!
Do I need to deal with the building department?
No. We acquire all the necessary permits and file all the required legal documents before work begins. Once the project is complete, we also file a Notice of Termination to protect your property from having any false liens placed on it.
How do I know that everyone has been paid at the end of the job?
We give you proof. We’ll give you copies of all the sub-contractor and supplier Final Waiver of Liens, and a Final Waiver of Lien and Contractor’s Final Payment Affidavit from Leading Edge Homes, Inc.
How will my house be secured since a hole will need to be cut in the outside wall of the existing house for access to the addition?
The new floor will be poured, exterior walls erected, roof constructed and dried in, doors and windows installed, and temporary locks put in place BEFORE the hole is cut.
Insurance companies typically don’t cover screen enclosures. How is what you build different?
The posts and beams are built to withstand a minimum of 140 mph winds, so it is highly unlikely they would be compromised. More importantly, they are attached to your existing house and made an integral component. Since the structure is a part of your house, it is typically covered. The aluminum framework is not typically covered, but it is fastened to very rigid and structurally sound surfaces and is unlikely to be severely damaged. The screen mesh is not covered, but it’s the least expensive part of the enclosure to replace.
The windows were recently installed in my new addition but screens were not. Why?
The screens are kept off-site until just before final building inspection when they are installed after cleaning the window glass. This is done to protect them from damage that could occur during construction.
The locks that were installed on my new doors are not the color and style I chose. In fact, they look used and dirty. Why?
These are not your permanent locks. They are just temporary locks installed for use during the rest of construction. They will be replaced with your permanent locks just before the final building inspection to protect them from being damaged.
