Question 1

How long does a typical remodeling project take?

Accepted Answer

Every project is different, but a main floor or kitchen remodel generally takes around eight weeks. A larger addition can take up to six months from start to finish. The timeline can be affected by project size, material availability, inspections, weather, and unexpected conditions discovered during construction.

Question 2

Why can the price change after a remodeling project starts?

Accepted Answer

Even with careful planning, unforeseen conditions can appear once walls, floors, or ceilings are opened. Older homes sometimes have hidden plumbing, electrical, structural, or moisture issues that cannot be seen during the original estimate. When that happens, we discuss the options with you before moving forward.

Question 3

Do I need a building permit for my remodeling project?

Accepted Answer

Most remodeling, construction, and home addition projects around Sioux Falls require a permit. Impact Construction handles the permitting process and coordinates the required inspections so you do not have to worry about it.

Question 4

How does Impact Construction choose its subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

We work with an established group of subcontractors that we have built relationships with over many years. Many of the same trusted professionals work with us on everything from bathroom remodels to new home construction, helping us deliver consistent quality and communication.

Question 5

Do I have to pay for the entire project upfront?

Accepted Answer

No. Most projects begin with a small deposit. After construction begins, payments are generally made monthly or according to the progress of the project. We review the payment schedule with you before work begins so there are no surprises.

Question 6

Can I stay in my home during a remodel?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Many homeowners stay in their home while work is being completed. It depends on the size and location of the project, and we will explain ahead of time how construction may affect your daily routine.

Question 7

How do you handle changing material prices and lead times?

Accepted Answer

We work hard to provide accurate estimates from the beginning and identify materials with longer lead times early in the planning process. If availability or pricing changes, we communicate with you before moving forward.

Question 8

Does construction stop during a South Dakota winter?

Accepted Answer

No. Interior remodeling continues throughout the winter. Exterior work can also continue, although cold temperatures, snow, and weather conditions may extend certain phases of outdoor construction.

Question 9

Why should I hire a general contractor instead of managing subcontractors myself?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a general contractor means you benefit from years of experience, trusted subcontractor relationships, scheduling, project coordination, permitting, inspections, and quality control. We keep your project moving while solving problems before they become costly delays.

Question 10

How do I know whether I need an architect or engineer?

Accepted Answer

Start by calling us. We can review your project and help determine whether an architect, structural engineer, or other professional services are needed before construction begins.
