Nashville Remodeling and Renovations Services
Whether you’re considering a complete home renovation, an addition, or simply updating an old roof, Broderick Builders offers expert roofing remodeling services to transform your home. As one of the most professional, trusted, and qualified residential remodeling companies in Nashville, Broderick Builders has been serving the community for over 45 years. Our experienced team is ready to help with all your roofing and remodeling needs.
Phase 1 – Pre-Construction
Project Evaluation
Our initial consultation is free of charge. We will meet with you at your home and discuss your ideas. Some of the things we can begin to tackle are the size of the project, what areas of your home will be affected, and the practicality of the work. We may offer you options based on experience that may work best for you and your home.
Design
Most projects are drawn in-house by John Broderick. This saves you considerable money that you may spend on architectural plans. However, we will coordinate with your architect or engineer if you have already hired one.
Estimate and Timeline
You will be provided with a flexible budget and an estimate of the time required to finish the job. The length of a job may vary and can change midstream due to changes made by the owner, unforeseen obstacles, special materials orders, and adverse weather. Allowances are given for items where there is a large range of product choices with equally ranging prices. Plumbing fixtures, lighting, appliances, and tile are a few examples.
Phase 2 – Preparation
Information Gathering
Measurements will be taken and the site evaluated to estimate the materials needed and how the conditions at the site may affect the time to complete the project. The owner will need to specify any special features that he/she would like to incorporate. The more information that we can gather from you in the early stages of the project, the better.
Selection
We will provide you with a list of suppliers and showrooms that we suggest for choosing fixtures and things of that nature. The speedy selection of these items plays a significant role in keeping the project moving smoothly.
Phase 3 – Construction
Quality
With all of our work, there is a great focus on the quality of the finished product. Besides providing solid construction and top-notch finishes, we want to match your home’s existing qualities as closely as possible so it appears that we were never even there.
Timeliness
Every effort will be made to ensure that your job is completed within the specified timeframe.
Disruption
Other areas of your home will be affected by the construction. However, our employees are trained to keep the job site clean and orderly as the project moves forward. Respect for your space and personal time is important so please let us know if there are times of the day where our working is not convenient for you.
Communication
We will meet with you on the Monday of each week to discuss the progress of your project. This is a great time to share new ideas that may have surfaced and to discuss all aspects of the job. Outside of these meetings, our staff is almost always available to assist with any questions concerning finances or selections. Communication is key to the success of any project.
Phase 4 – Customer Care: Remodeling Project
Education
Forty+ years of Nashville remodeling experience has taught us that a more informed client leads to a better outcome of the project. We make it a point to explain how the remodeling industry works and what to look for when hiring a contractor.
Permits
You will see a line item in the estimate for permits/licenses. The cost of a permit varies with the size of the project. Our staff will take care of pulling the permit and monitoring the inspections.
Materials Takeoff and Delivery
Measuring, ordering, and delivering the materials necessary for your project will be handled by our crew and staff unless otherwise stated by the homeowner.
Walk-through
Upon completion, we will inspect the finished product with you and make sure all the details are to your satisfaction.
Post-Construction
Broderick Builders Inc. has a one-year warranty on all finished products and will promptly respond to any maintenance calls. We will also gladly come back to your home for any other maintenance issues or new projects that you may have in the future. We will always be here for the care of your home.
