Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured to perform work in my home?

    This is the most critical question any homeowner can ask. Baker & Baker Construction is fully licensed and insured, maintaining comprehensive General Liability and Workers' Compensation policies. We take the safety of our crew and the protection of your property seriously. When you hire professional remodeling contractors in Charleston, IL, you deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are protected from liability in the event of an accident.

  • How does Baker & Baker Construction handle project estimates and pricing?

    We know that budget is a primary concern for any renovation. Rather than providing vague "ballpark" figures that often lead to financial stress later, we prioritize transparency and accuracy. Our process begins with a fast, free consultation where we discuss your vision and your specific needs. This is followed by a detailed site visit where we assess structural requirements and utility layouts. We then provide a line-item proposal that breaks down labor and material costs. As experienced remodeling contractors in Charleston, IL, our goal is to offer competitive pricing that reflects our 25 years of craftsmanship without hiding fees or surprises in the fine print.

  • Will I be responsible for securing my own building permits and inspections?

    Navigating the bureaucracy of local building codes and zoning laws can be an overwhelming task for a homeowner. When you work with us, you do not have to worry about the paperwork. Our team manages the entire permitting process from start to finish. We handle the applications, submit the necessary plans to the city, and schedule all required inspections. Our deep familiarity with the requirements for remodeling contractors in Charleston, IL, ensures that your project is entirely compliant with local regulations and built safely to code.

  • Who will be my main point of contact during the construction process?

    Communication is where many construction companies fall short, but we make it our priority. You will never be left wondering about the status of your home or playing phone tag with various subcontractors. Every project is assigned a dedicated Project Manager who oversees the daily operations and serves as your singular point of contact. This individual is responsible for keeping you informed on progress, answering your questions, and ensuring the timeline stays on track.

  • What steps do I take to protect my home from dust and debris?

    We recognize that your home is your sanctuary, even when it is a construction site. Our team treats your property with the utmost respect. To minimize the impact on your daily life, we use heavy-duty plastic barriers to seal off the work zone and prevent dust from traveling to other rooms. We also utilize floor protection like Ram Board or professional-grade drop cloths in high-traffic areas to safeguard your existing flooring. Furthermore, we commit to a daily cleanup routine. Unlike some other remodeling contractors in Charleston, IL, we make sure the site is safe, organized, and tidy at the end of every single workday.

  • What is the process for making changes after the project has started?

    It is common for homeowners to want to adjust a design or upgrade a material once they see the space taking shape. We are happy to accommodate these changes through a formal Change Order process. If you decide to add custom trim work or choose a different countertop material mid-way through the build, we will provide a written document that clearly outlines how the change affects the total cost and the completion date. Work on that specific adjustment only begins once you have reviewed and signed the document. This structured approach is why we are considered the most professional remodeling contractors in Charleston, IL, as it ensures there are never any misunderstandings regarding the final bill.
