Frequently Asked Questions

1.  I’d like to get an estimate for… How do I get one?
It is our practice to schedule an initial consultation and meet with you at your home to discuss the project.  Expect this first conversation to be about one hour in length.  We will take measurements and pictures to document the area being remodeled.  All of these things and more contribute to how we go about preparing a complimentary proposal for your consideration.

2.  Where does Seabreeze work?
Seabreeze Construction served clients primarily throughout the Greater Phoenix/Maricopa County area.  Our Arizona residential remodeling license is currently inactive.  We are pursuing an opportunity out of state.  We are happy to provide you with a referral to another licensed general contractor or speciality contractor.

3.  What information can I expect you to ask for?
Some of the information we like to learn from our clients includes:
-  How you live in the space being remodeled
-  What is your personal style and preferences
-  What specific items you want included in the project
-  What is your budget for investing in the project
-  What is your timeline to start and have the work completed

4.  Do I need a permit?
Permits depend on the nature of the project.  We can apply for the required permit on your behalf.  Cost for permits, plans and other documentation required by the appropriate governing agency will be accounted for in our proposal.

5.  Can I purchase my own materials for the project?
When it comes to faucets, sinks, appliances, tile and such: Yes, we can work with you if you prefer to purchase these items.  We appreciate the opportunity to quote our pricing for you, since we may be able to purchase the same material at a wholesale price which is passed on to you.

6.  Is there a way to recycle items being removed as part of my remodel?
Yes.  We will set aside any item you would like reuse or repurpose.  Another option is to “Don’t Waste! Donate!” re-usable items such as cabinets, sinks, tubs, faucets, hardware, light fixtures etc. to Stardust Building Supplies, a local non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Stardust Building Supplies provides you with a tax-deductible donation receipt.  We will arrange for them to pick up large items from your home during deconstruction or we will deliver smaller items on your behalf.  Donated items are resold from Stardust’s two warehouses in Phoenix and Mesa.  Proceeds from resale of donated items go to support Stardust’s programs such as “Angels on Call”.

7.  How long will the remodeling take?
Each project is unique.  We can offer you a projected timeline with our initial proposal.  Timelines are based upon what work is being completed, time for materials to be ordered (such as cabinets), and days/hours during which work can be performed. When we contract to complete the project, a calendar is created that includes work performed by our subcontractors and vendors.

8.  How do we find out more about Seabreeze Construction?
It is our pleasure to provide a list of clients who you may call regarding our services.  Clients who have graciously agreed to be a reference are included in our referral list.  We consider our client information as private and confidential.  We also recommend that you check the license status of any contractor with whom you are considering to do work on your home.

9.  What paperwork do you provide to clients?
Seabreeze has a construction contract that details the start and finish dates for the project, the payment schedule and payment amounts, and our standard terms and conditions.
