What is the most expensive part of remodeling a house?

In general, remodeling a kitchen is the most expensive part of a home remodel. This is due to the complexity of the work, including plumbing and electrical requirements, as well as the installation of high-quality appliances, countertops, and fixtures that need to be durable and properly installed.

What is the difference between home remodeling and home renovation?

Renovation involves minor updates that primarily enhance appearance — such as painting, updating light fixtures, or installing new flooring — and typically does not require building permits. Remodeling involves more extensive changes that impact the structure, layout, or use of a room, such as adding a new room, moving walls, raising ceilings, or finishing a basement, and generally requires permits and inspections.

Does Home by Tom do exterior renovations?

Yes. Home by Tom provides exterior renovations including landscaping, outdoor kitchens, decks, and patios. We believe your home's exterior should be just as functional and comfortable as the interior.

Do you provide 3D designs or renderings before starting a project?

Yes. We offer complimentary 3D designs and renderings for kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects. This lets you visualize exactly what your new space will look like before construction begins, so you can make adjustments before any work starts.

Can I bring my own materials or finishes for Home by Tom to install?

Yes. We are happy to install finishes and materials that you select for your home, in addition to our own extensive range of materials available through our supply partners.

How does the payment process work?

Payment is collected at different intervals throughout the project. A deposit is required upon signing the contract, followed by scheduled payments at the completion of each project phase.

How we work

A Stress-Free Remodeling Experience

After collecting basic details about your project, we’ll schedule an appointment to further discuss the scope, budget, timeline, and other particulars. Then we’ll do a site assessment to fully understand the project’s needs.

Based on the information gathered from the consultation, we’ll create a proposal within 12 hours of the site assessment and follow up to ensure that you have received it.

Using software technology, we give you a 3D visual before construction begins so you know exactly what your new space will look like. This helps to reduce stress and removes the surprise element.

We offer an extensive range of materials through our supply partners and are happy to provide guidance during the selection process. With us, you always get durable materials and finishes to achieve the desired look.

Once the necessary permits are acquired, we get started on the work by safely demolishing sections that need to be removed and beginning construction on your new kitchen or bathroom.
