Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Most structural, electrical, and plumbing alterations require municipal permits. Navigating city regulations can be overwhelming, which is why Flores Brothers Construction handles the entire permitting process for you to ensure strict compliance with local KC Metro building codes.

A standard kitchen remodeling project usually takes between 3 and 6 weeks. Your exact timeline depends on the overall scope of work, lead times for custom cabinetry, and whether your design requires complex structural changes, like removing load-bearing walls for an open-concept layout.

Most residential bathroom renovations are completed within 2 to 4 weeks. If your project features extensive custom tile work, the relocation of plumbing fixtures, or the conversion of a standard tub into a luxury walk-in shower, the timeline may be extended slightly.

Absolutely. We understand that a remodel disrupts your daily routine, so we make every effort to minimize the impact. Our crew carefully isolates the work zone using protective barriers to contain dust and debris, keeping the rest of your home clean and livable.

High-quality new cabinetry and major structural modifications—such as tearing down walls to expand the room's footprint—typically represent the largest share of a kitchen remodeling budget.

To ensure a smooth start, please clear all personal items, electronics, and fragile decorations from the immediate workspace and adjacent hallways. This protects your belongings and allows our construction team to dive right into the project on day one.

Yes. Even if you are building over an existing footprint, local city codes dictate that a permit is required to verify that the footings, ledger boards, and safety railings meet today’s modern structural safety standards.

A standard deck replacement takes roughly 1 to 2 weeks. Factors that can affect your total completion time include the deck's square footage, its height off the ground, unpredictable weather conditions, and the complexity of your chosen railing system.

While spring and fall offer the ideal weather, our crews build and replace decks year-round. As long as the ground isn't deeply frozen, our team can safely pour structural footings and frame your new outdoor living space.

Traditional wood decking is budget-friendly but requires ongoing maintenance, such as regular staining and sealing. Composite decking (like premium Trex materials) requires a higher upfront investment but is virtually maintenance-free, splinter-resistant, and lasts significantly longer.

If the primary support posts, floor joists, or ledger boards show visible signs of wood rot, severe warping, or insect damage, the deck is structurally unsafe. In these instances, a complete replacement is required rather than a cosmetic repair.
