Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the renovation take?

Each project is unique. If it’s a simple exterior repaint, the project could be completed in a few days. If it’s an addition or a new home build, it could take a few months. Our goal is to minimize the impact on your daily life. We ensure that every element is in place or ordered before we start work. This benefits both you and our team, minimizing the amount of time we spend in your home. We will do the job right, and we want you to enjoy your new space as efficiently as possible. We’ll discuss the project before and during to ensure you have a clear picture of what’s ahead.

How does your company communicate?

Communication is key, and it’s what sets us apart from other general contractors. During initial conversations and the planning stage, we can give an approximate start date for your project. After verifying lead times for materials and assessing our workload, we can pinpoint a start date and block out your commencement. During the project, we provide weekly updates on its status and what’s next. If unexpected delays occur, we’ll communicate those too and give you a strategic plan to address them. We understand no one likes surprises, so we’re on-site every day and honest about any hurdles and how we will overcome them.

Can I live in my home while you’re remodeling it?

Maybe. Depending on the project's scope and ensuring there are no life-safety issues, you may be able to live in your home while the work is being completed. At J Pratt Construction, we cordon off the area we’re working in to minimize dust and noise as much as possible. The crews tidy up the workspace daily, and we create a construction path to protect the rest of the living space.

Do I need to pull a permit?

As a licensed, bonded, and insured residential general contractor, understanding when and how to obtain building permits is part of our process. We will obtain any required permits for your project.

I’m ready to start my remodel. How soon can you start?

If you already have a good idea of what you want, we can start relatively quickly, depending on how many existing projects we have at that time. If you need help creating the vision for your space or want to work with a designer, it could take longer. Either way, we’re here to make your vision a reality and build your confidence that you’ve chosen the right contractor to create a space you’ll love.

I need help knowing what colors and selections work well together. Can you help me?

Absolutely! We work with talented interior designers who can assist you with the latest trends, colors, and solutions to tie everything together. Depending on your needs, we can pair you with an independent consultant for larger projects or guide you to a smaller, more focused designer for specific aspects of your project.

What areas do you service?

Our primary service areas include Greenville County, Pickens County, eastern Oconee County, northern Anderson County, and western Spartanburg County. If you live outside our standard service areas but would still like to work with us, please call or fill out the contact form to see if we can tailor a custom solution for your needs.
