It depends on the size, scope, design complexity, permit process, and material availability. Smaller remodels may take only a few weeks, while larger custom homes or commercial projects can take several months. We use a critical path scheduling approach that allows us to complete projects up to 10× faster than the industry average without compromising quality. Before construction begins, we provide a projected timeline and keep clients informed throughout every phase.

Pricing is based on the size and scope of the project, design complexity, materials, site conditions, engineering requirements, and overall timeline. We provide a detailed, transparent estimate tailored to your goals and budget — and work closely with you throughout planning to maximize value and avoid unexpected costs.

Yes, in some cases we do require a deposit, depending on the size and nature of the project. However, our typical process is progress-based billing, where clients are billed as each phase or scope of work is completed.

At De Marco Builders, we believe in delivering results first before requesting payment whenever possible. This approach reflects our confidence in the quality of our work while also giving our clients greater peace of mind throughout the construction process. Any required deposits or payment schedules are discussed clearly and agreed upon before the project begins.

Project costs typically remain consistent with the original estimate unless you request changes to the scope of work, or there are significant shifts in material pricing due to market conditions beyond our control. Any changes are communicated clearly and promptly before we proceed, and documented through a written change order outlining the updated scope, pricing, and schedule — so you approve everything before additional work begins.
