Remodeling Standards
Creating Long-lasting Functional Spaces
Copple Construction, LLC is dedicated to providing quality remodeling services at reasonable rates. We consider cost versus function and longevity, for each component in the home. With a small additional cost, we have found the increased performance and longevity of certain materials and techniques almost always make sense to include during any remodel.
We have chosen our Remodeling Standards in an effort to provide the lowest cost over the long term, while still keeping the current remodel cost at a reasonable rate. Lower long term costs are achieved through less maintenance, fewer repairs, longer usable life span, lower utility costs, and/or better function. Our system exceeds the industry standard quality. During the Design Phase, we will discuss additional component upgrades which may be right for your project.
As a Licensed Residential Builder we have been tested by the state to ensure our understanding of the systems in a building. We have completed several state, federal, industry, and manufacturer trainings. We use this understanding of how building components work together and the best way to transition from old to new, in order to ensure every component performs properly when combined. We pay particular attention to structural components, moisture management, air quality, and transitions. We use our experience with design to bring together your space into a fully functional, smooth flowing, and great looking area.
