At Cozy Creek Custom, we take deadlines seriously. Delays disrupt more than just the calendar, they affect the entire project flow and can lead to increased costs. That’s why we prioritize proactive planning, clear communication, and reliable execution to keep your project moving forward on time and on budget. We have found that an Owner may have the skills to 'do their part' but that doesn't mean the Owner has enough of their time to get their part done with deadlines to keep the project on track.
Do I need to be present during construction?
You do not. Although many people feel as though they need to see project progression firsthand, Cozy Creek Custom utilized digital signatures, Zoom meeting, virtual walk throughs, and JobTread software that gives Clients real time updates.
Can I live in my house while under construction?
You can and many of our clients do live (or continue to operate a business)in their homes during demolition and construction. Cozy Creek Custom takes extensive steps in keeping a clean, tidy, and secure job site while taking precautions for maintaining the integrity of the property.

Why should I use a contractor who specializes in remodels over a custom or spec home builder?
The major difference between a remodel and new construction is the demolition phase. Not only having the skill to dismantle part of the structure without causing damage, remodeling contractors understand the cost of demolition, allowing the owner to budget accordingly.
Material Reuse is often utilized in remodels. Want to keep that vintage pocket door? The contractor had better know how to uninstall it and have a number/labeling system in place to track materials being reused or repurposed for your project.
Secondly, Retrofitting. Retrofitting focuses on improving the efficiency, sustainability, or functionality of an existing building or structure. This means subcontractors, like HVAC and plumbers, also need to have knowledge and experience in 'tying old to new' systems. Custom home builders more commonly use subs who only install new products and materials which can result in a more expensive project.
And lastly. Hidden challenges. Understanding how, where, and when 'hurdles' can come into play within the project such as mold, asbestos, or structural weakness, allow the home owner to plan, prepare, and budget for the unexpected.
