Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much is my remodeling project going to cost?

Remodeling costs vary widely depending on the size, scope, materials, and level of customization for your project. A typical kitchen remodel can range from $50,000 to $150,000+, while bathroom remodels usually start around $30,000. Additions and whole-home renovations will be significantly more.

At Lincorp Borchert, we follow a structured design-build process that helps you make informed decisions and control your budget every step of the way. We start with a consultation and detailed design to ensure accurate pricing before construction begins.


2. Why do I need to meet with your team before starting?

Meeting with our team allows us to truly understand your goals, lifestyle, and space before we create a design plan. Every home is different, and a personal consultation ensures the design is tailored specifically to your needs.

This also gives you the opportunity to ask questions, view our portfolio, and get to know the people who will be managing your remodel from start to finish. The better we understand your vision, the smoother and more successful your project will be.


3. What type of remodeling projects do you specialize in?

We specialize in full-service kitchen, bathroom, and basement remodels, as well as additions and aging-in-place renovations. Our award-winning design-build team handles everything from modern kitchens to spa-like master baths.

Our team works extensively with homeowners in Oakland and Macomb Counties, helping them transform outdated spaces into beautiful, functional environments that reflect their lifestyle.


4. Can I live in my home while the project is active?

In many cases, yes—you can live in your home while your remodeling project is underway. We take extra precautions to minimize dust, noise, and disruption, including setting up temporary barriers, cleaning daily, and maintaining a safe environment.

That said, the ability to stay in your home may depend on the scope of the remodel. For full kitchen or bathroom renovations where key amenities are unavailable, temporary relocation might be more comfortable. We’ll help you plan accordingly.


5. Why should I work with a design-build team like Lincorp Borchert?

Working with a design-build firm means your project is handled from start to finish by a single, unified team. This reduces communication breakdowns, budget surprises, and delays—saving you time, money, and stress.

At Lincorp Borchert, our designers and builders collaborate closely to deliver high-quality, cohesive results. You’ll work with one dedicated project manager and have a clear, predictable process throughout.

7. What does the project cost include?

Our pricing includes everything from design and permitting to materials, labor, and project management. You’ll receive a comprehensive proposal outlining each component of your remodel.

There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—transparency is a key part of our process. We also provide you with a project timeline and payment schedule upfront so you can plan with confidence.


8. What’s the timeline for a typical remodel?

Project timelines depend on the scope and complexity of the work. A bathroom remodel typically takes 4–6 weeks, kitchens take 6–10 weeks, and additions can range from 3–6 months.

The design and planning phase usually takes 4–8 weeks before construction starts. We’ll provide a realistic schedule during your initial consultation, along with regular updates once work begins.


9. Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes! We handle all permits, inspections, and code compliance for your project. Our team is well-versed in local building requirements in Washington Township and surrounding areas.

We coordinate directly with township officials and inspectors to ensure everything is completed safely, legally, and up to standard. You won’t need to worry about paperwork or red tape.


10. Can I make changes once construction starts?

While we encourage finalizing design decisions during the planning phase, we understand that changes sometimes need to happen. We’ll discuss any requested changes, explain cost and timeline implications, and document all revisions in writing.

Our goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your project stays on track. With our detailed process, most clients feel confident moving forward with minimal changes.
