This is a difficult question to answer because each project is unique. It will depend upon the size of the project, any unusual challenges it may present, and in some cases even the weather. Many factors are involved. However, we take on every project with enthusiasm and perform the work in a timely way.

This is also one of those questions that will depend on various factors, particularly the size of the project. It may not be necessary on smaller projects but for major builds it may. Sometimes, it isn’t necessary but you may find you prefer to be away due to the inevitable inconvenience. When planning your project with our designers, you can discuss this and determine what the best approach is for you.

A. Remove all your valuables, lamps, plants, knick-knacks, Etc..

B. Remove all dishes and crystal from cabinets and hutches (Kitchen remodeling)

C. Remove all bottles valuables from vanity counters and cabinets (bath remodeling)

D. Cover all furniture in adjacent rooms. Since dust is inevitable, this will help to preserve your furniture

E. Please do not pile up furniture on top of the other

F. If we are remodeling your kitchen, it will be helpful if you pick an area not affected by the construction to set up a dinette area for your family. This will cut down on any inconvenience to you r family while we are working.

G. Active construction areas and sites are most often hazardous and dangerous areas. During all periods of active construction at your site, you and your family agree not to enter any active work or designated job site area, without being physically accompanied and escorted by a MNCK Site Supervisor or Team Leader. If you and/or your guests or family members otherwise must enter into any such active work area or designated job site area, such entry is at your or their own risk. Michael Nash makes no warranty as to the safety or functionality of any circumstance or item in a designated job or work site in progress.

The nature of renovation work is such that each project creates a mess of some kind. However, the mess does not remain when it is a Michael Nash project. We ensure the project is neat and clean upon completion and maintain as much order as is reasonable during the period of the actual work.

The best time to do a renovation will depend upon the project. For most indoor projects, particularly smaller projects, almost any time of year is a good time. Weather can be a factor, however, with some larger projects and with outdoor work. With that in mind, it is sometimes best to plan the project for the spring, summer and fall months. Speak to our consultants about your individual project and they will be able to advise you on the best time for your project.

This will depend upon the wall. Some walls are known as load-bearing walls. These are designed for structural support. They carry a house’s weight – hence the term load-bearing. Before taking out a wall, it must first be determined if it is this kind of wall. In some cases, it is possible to remove a load-bearing wall. However it is a more involved process than removing a non-load bearing wall. The weight the wall supports must be redistributed. There are ways to do this, such as replacing it with a beam, but this is a more involved process than simply removing a non-load bearing wall. It will depend upon your house whether it is advisable or not. Remember, the structural integrity of your house will be compromised if you remove a load-bearing wall without another way to support the weight it is bearing. With Michael Nash Design, Build and Homes, any changes such as these will be approved on plan prior to beginning.

Green remodeling is an approach to homes renovation that emphasizes a healthier homes and planet while also providing cost savings. It involves using materials that are more sustainable in terms of the environment and incorporating techniques that are more efficient and have less impact on our planet. Both materials and techniques also help provide for a healthier home to live in and one that is more economical to run without ever compromising style and beauty.

A key characteristic of green remodeling is cost savings – a more economical home. It starts with the construction and the techniques used and the technologies put in place. Green homes reduce operating costs while also increasing a home’s value. It makes your home a more sustainable one with less impact on the environment. As an example, with energy efficient and water wise designs and products, utility costs are reduced.

Yes, they absolutely can. We’ve made a commitment to green approaches to remodeling and take pride in what we can offer home owners.

The surprising thing about bamboo is that it hasn’t already been incorporated in the many homes of North America more extensively. It has a very long history of use in the world because of its quality and multiple uses. Bamboo for flooring is durable and reliable, not to mention beautiful. It makes for a great option for homes and offices, especially when they want to go green. Bamboo is also wonderful for cabinetry. It is often used for furniture – even beautiful rugs. It provides a design flexibility few traditional woods do. To learn more about bamboo, visit our Go Green page.
