Question 1

Is Emperial Construction licensed, bonded, and insured in Ohio?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold an active Ohio general contractor license, carry full bonding, and maintain comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance on every project we take on.

Question 2

How do you price a project, and are there hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

Every project starts with a detailed, itemized estimate covering materials, labor, and permitting. We use fixed-bid contracts wherever possible so your price doesn't move once you sign — any changes you request are documented and approved before work begins.

Question 3

What areas of Ohio do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, and the surrounding communities. If you're unsure whether your project falls within our service area, call us and we'll let you know.

Question 4

How long does the average project take from quote to completion?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by scope — a bathroom remodel typically runs 2-4 weeks, a kitchen 4-6 weeks, and a custom home 9-12 months. During your free estimate, we'll give you a written timeline specific to your project.

Question 5

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All workmanship is backed by a minimum 2-year warranty, with select services like bathroom waterproofing and roofing carrying extended coverage up to 10-25 years depending on materials used.

Question 6

Can I stay in my home during a renovation?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. We use dust containment barriers, temporary utility workarounds, and phased scheduling to keep the rest of your home livable during kitchen, bathroom, and addition projects.

Question 7

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our project managers pull all required permits and schedule every inspection directly with your local building department, so you never have to manage that process yourself.

Question 8

Do you provide free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, initial consultations and estimates are free with no obligation. We'll walk your property, discuss your goals, and follow up with a detailed written estimate.

Question 9

What happens if I need to change something mid-project?

Accepted Answer

Change requests are documented in a written change order with updated pricing and timeline impact before any work proceeds, so you always approve changes before they affect your budget.

Question 10

Do you offer emergency services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide emergency response for active roof leaks and storm damage, including same-week tarping to prevent further interior damage while a permanent repair is scheduled.
