Frequently Asked Questions

Get Clear Answers About Your Remodel

You have real questions about your kitchen, bathroom, deck, or home addition, and you deserve straight answers. We know what homeowners actually want to understand before they commit to a renovation. This page is built from those conversations and on-site experience.

  • How much does a full kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?

    Remodel costs vary significantly based on project scope, materials, and complexity. A bathroom refresh might range quite differently from a full kitchen renovation with custom cabinetry and granite countertops. Rather than guessing, we recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your specific vision and budget.

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured for home remodeling?

    At Cornerstone Remodeling By A & A, LLC, we understand that quality remodeling requires careful planning and execution. Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your vision, budget, and timeline. During this initial meeting, we take detailed measurements and assess the current condition of your space to identify any potential challenges or opportunities.

    Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, our design team creates detailed plans and 3D renderings when applicable. We present multiple options for materials, fixtures, and finishes, ensuring you have all the information needed to make informed decisions. Our transparent pricing structure means you will receive a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees or surprise costs.

    Before construction begins, we handle all necessary permits and ensure our work complies with local building codes in Woodstock and throughout Illinois. We coordinate with suppliers to ensure materials arrive on schedule, and we maintain open communication throughout the entire project. You will have direct access to your project manager who provides regular updates on progress and addresses any questions or concerns promptly.

    During the remodeling phase, our licensed and insured craftsmen work efficiently while maintaining a clean and safe work environment. We protect your home with dust barriers and coverings, and we clean up thoroughly at the end of each workday. Our attention to detail extends beyond the visible work to include proper structural modifications, electrical updates, and plumbing installations that meet or exceed industry standards.

    Upon completion, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough with you to ensure every aspect of the project meets your expectations. We stand behind our work with solid warranties and remain available for any follow-up questions or service needs. Our commitment to customer satisfaction has earned us a reputation as a trusted kitchen remodeler in the Woodstock area and beyond.

  • How long will my kitchen or bathroom renovation take to complete?

    Timeline depends on project scope. We’ll provide a realistic schedule during your estimate and keep you updated throughout. Reach out to discuss your specific project and we’ll give you a clearer picture of what to expect.

  • Do you provide free estimates for home additions and deck construction?

    We’ll visit your property, listen to your goals, and provide a detailed quote. Call 815-278-7518 or fill out our contact form to schedule your consultation.

  • Will I need to obtain permits for a room addition or deck installation?

    Most room additions and deck installations in Woodstock, IL and surrounding counties require permits. Permit requirements vary by project type and location, and we handle permit discussions with you upfront. During your estimate, we’ll clarify which permits apply to your project. We manage the permit process and ensure all work meets local codes.

  • How do you protect the rest of my house from dust and debris during construction?

    Protecting your home is a core part of how we work. We use plastic sheeting to isolate work areas, maintain controlled access to your house, and clean regularly throughout each phase. For projects like drywall installation or tile work, we take extra care to contain dust. Your family should be able to live in your home during most renovations without constant disruption.

  • What happens if there are unexpected issues or hidden damage found during the remodel?

    We handle unexpected issues head-on through clear communication and a structured problem-solving approach. When hidden damage or unforeseen structural issues arise during your kitchen, bathroom, or room addition project, we stop work, document what we’ve found, and discuss options with you before proceeding further.

    Your approval and understanding come first. We’ll explain what we discovered, why it needs to be addressed, and what it means for your budget and timeline. Most surprises in older homes around Woodstock and McHenry County involve water damage, outdated plumbing, or structural gaps that building code requires us to correct anyway. We factor in the cost to fix it transparently, so you’re never blindsided. Contact us to discuss how we handle project changes, or call 815-278-7518 to speak with us directly about your specific concerns.
