Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does It Take To Get An Estimate?

About two weeks in most cases.

We can usually schedule a your initial in home consult within a week of your discovery call.

After the initial home visit it takes about a week for us to create your 3D concepts and good better best budget. Then we will meet with you to review them.

Read more about our design and budget consult here.

When Can the Project Start?

We can usually start the design process within 4 weeks of you approving your budget. Actual construction usually starts between 2 and 4 months after design is complete.

A lot of remodeling contractors want to start the project as soon as possible and will often start before all materials are ordered or even before the design is complete. But that almost always leads mistakes, cost over-runs and delays in the middle of the project.

We prefer to complete all design work and order all your materials before the project starts. Everything is delivered to our warehouse so it can be checked for quality and shipping damage and we don’t have any unecessary delays on site.

Do you use subcontractors or in house installers?

We’ve tried it both ways and feel we get better results using qualified subcontractor who we’ve developed long term relationships with.

We used to have in house installers but it was difficult for a small team of installers to be expert in all the skills needed from demo to drywall, finish carpentry, painting etc… So we were getting mixed results in project quality depending on the scope of work.

By using sub contractors who specialize in just one trade we’ve been able to increase the quality of workmanship and avoid delays during construction.

Are You Expensive?

I would say you don’t hire us for the lowest price, you hire us for the best experience and results.

Our estimates are detailed and realistic so there won’t be any surprise costs or misunderstanding during construction.

McManus Kitchen and Bath built us an amazing new kitchen in our house. We recently hosted a small dinner for the first time, and everything about it was awesome. Such a wonderful space to host and hang out in -- our friends commented a number of times on how beautiful it is and how well it fits the house and us. It all functions so well and so conveniently that it's a joy to work in. Paul is a truly wonderful guy who cares about detail. We worked very closely with designers Kristy and Stephanie, and Mike (our construction project manager) and the process was efficient, friendly, and achieved exactly what we envisioned. Everyone did an amazing job making the kitchen the center and the heart of the house. A very grateful "Thank You" to you and the whole team for making it such a wonderful project!

We put off our bathroom remodel for years because we just couldn't find anyone who got consistently great references. However, most of the people we talked to about their personal remodeling experience knew a friend or neighbor who had used McManus Kitchen and Bath and were delighted. So, we took the plunge and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Our bathroom was small, but the scope was large - a 72 year old house with concrete block walls that needed new everything. Paul, Kristi and Stephanie helped us innovate a small space and guided us through our old house adventure. We felt very comfortable with the subs - they were skilled and respectful of our space. Jim, Mike and Eliot helped us manage all the surprises and always had a plan to conquer the complexities of the job. We were so pleased with the communication from MKB - we never had to wonder who was coming on what day at what time to do what thing. That truly made the experience less frightening and helped us manage life and work in a construction zone. Our first venture into major remodeling was a fantastic success, and we are already plotting our next project with MKB. We highly recommend Paul and his team!

My husband and I reached out to McManus Kitchen and Bath after an electrical malfunction in a wall oven caused fire damage to our 30-year-old kitchen and smoke damage throughout our entire house. Our extremely outdated kitchen and equally outdated adjacent back entry area, powder room and laundry room all required a gut reno and redesign/remodel, and we were fortunate that McManus was able to take on that key portion of our yearlong whole-house restoration project. We found owner Paul to be responsive, professional, knowledgable, and confidence-inspiring. We appreciated the efficiency of working with a contractor who could provide not only remodeling services but also design services and an on-site kitchen/bath showroom for inspiration. We loved working with showroom manager/designer “Kristi,” who cheerfully and expertly advised and guided us through the process of choosing cabinetry, countertops, backsplash tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting, hardware, flooring, and more. We were grateful to seasoned project manager “Mike,” who among many things oversaw all their carefully chosen subcontractors, helped to explain and troubleshoot the handful of unexpected issues that arose during the months-long process, and went above and beyond to keep schedules and communication on track during a remodel that had to contend at times with unique pandemic-era bumps in the road. The aftermath of our house fire was a stressful time for my husband and me, but having good remodeling partners at our side, like those we found at McManus Kitchen and Bath, made all the difference. We are absolutely delighted and 100 percent satisfied with our bright, beautiful and functional new kitchen, drop zone, powder room and laundry room; if we had the chance to go back and do it all again, I believe we would make exactly the same choices thanks to the excellent advice we received from the McManus staff. We’d choose McManus again in a heartbeat for any future kitchen/bath remodeling projects we might undertake; and we would enthusiastically recommend them to our family, friends and anyone else seeking design/build/remodel/showroom resources in one highly professional and pleasant place.

Having worked in the construction industry for over forty years, I was very hesitant to start a remodeling project as most of them end with horror stories. I researched for months, and ultimately decided to proceed with McManus Kitchen and Bath. I couldn't have been happier with the results and my decision. From the very first meeting, through the design process, to the completed bathroom, they were professional, informative, and transparent. There were no 'hidden' costs and add ons, you knew exactly what it was going to cost. They started the project exactly when they said they would, and finished same within less than a week than they predicted. The project manager was on site every single day making sure everything was being done to our satisfaction. He caught a couple of issues that might have made us less than happy with the end result, and corrected them before they became an issue. (What a refreshing surprise, knowing how remodels usually go). Every single sub contractor they used, treated our home with respect, and they were ALL incredible. All small business men, all artists in their own right. I would not hesitate to use any of them again. One of the most impressive things was the fact that from the demo to the finished project, there was progress being made every single day~THAT is worth its weight in gold as far as I'm concerned. Thank you; Paul, Kristi, Parker, Jim and all your subs for making this process an incredible experience. Would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone! 😊

We chose McManus Kitchen and Bath after our neighbors used them and were very satisfied. Our job involved complete redesign of our 30-year-old kitchen and master bath, conversion to gas cooking, and reflooring the central part of our home. The work was very well organized. We had a schedule of tasks to be accomplished for the day/week/month which we could track in an app on our phones or computer. The subs were friendly, thorough, and did excellent work. All of the McManus staff including our designer and project manager were also excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend McManus Kitchen and Bath to anyone considering upgrading their kitchen and/or bath.

McManus Kitchen and Bath remodeled our kitchen and adjoining living areas. It was a large job that took several weeks. All aspects of their work was outstanding. Everyday we were given detailed descriptions of the work that would be done that day, and the times of the day that the workers would be at our house. Several subcontracting companies were needed to complete the job. All were friendly and did excellent work. We were especially impressed with Paul McManus and his staff. They made the whole experience as pain free as possible. I give them my highest recommendation. John & Cynthia

We needed a remodeling company that could provide a lot of support. Our condo is in Tallahassee and we were in Wisconsin during the COVID quarantine. The staff at McManus worked hard to keep us up to date on progress and did an excellent job overseeing several subcontractors who were necessary to our renovations. While supply chain issues and availability of personnel were problematic due to the pandemic, McManus worked hard to keep our project moving forward. It took longer than we had hoped, but that was due to issues beyond McManus' control. I would highly recommend this talented and knowledgable team to anyone who is looking for professional management for their interior renovations.

Working with the staff at McManus was a pleasure, they honored our project wishes while also skillfully giving practical direction. We are thrilled with the finished project , it is even better than we envisioned. Lovely and functional. If you are looking for a company that gives you a great finished product and wonderful customer service, then McManus Kitchen and Bath is the company for you.

Options When Choosing Remodeling Contractors

We’re confident our design build approach provides not only the best results but also a more enjoyable remodeling experience but we’re not right for every project. Here’s a quick overview of different ways to handle home improvements.

Handyman Service

Because they are a ‘jack of all trades’ they are most useful if you need a lot of small repairs or odd jobs done at once. Their access to materials is generally limited to what they can get at the local big box store and most are not licensed (they are not required to be as long as they stick to simple projects).

Trade Contractors

Trade contractors are specialists in single trades like plumbing, tile or drywall. If you just need that one type of work done they are the best choice. Some trade contractors, like plumbers and electricians must be state licensed but most trades do not require a license.

Traditional Contractors

For a kitchen or bath remodel you need a licensed contractor. Traditional contractors provide construction services but do not help much with design or material selection. If help with design and material selection are not important to you they can be a good choice.

Design Build Contractors

Full service remodeling contractors like McManus Kitchen and Bath are state licensed and provide design, product selection and construction services all under one roof. They are ideal for complex project like kitchen remodels and bathroom remodels.
