What’s the first step in a home renovation project?

It’s easy to take the first step towards an updated home! Contact Hometown Contractors to learn more about our services and to schedule a no-obligation, in-home consultation. A design professional will discuss your ideas, explain your options, and provide an accurate cost estimate. Simply call today or fill out our online contact form to get started.

What will take place during the initial no-cost consultation?

You’ll discuss your goals (i.e. more space, improved energy efficiency, improved curb appeal, etc…) and your budget. From there, the home remodeling consultant will show you product samples, discuss design options, and take measurements of your space. You’ll also receive a detailed quote.

How is a renovation different from a remodel?

Some homeowners don’t realize that these words have different meaning. A renovation usually involves repairing or restoring a feature in your home, i.e. replacing a broken patio door. On the other hand, the goal of a remodel would be to change the functionality or look of a space such as you could do by changing the layout of a room or installing an accessible tub or shower.

Could I see photos of your past projects?

Absolutely! We love to show potential customers our gallery of past projects! Take a few minutes to view the images and get an idea of the kind of quality you can expect when you choose Hometown Contractors.

How long will it take to complete my home improvement project?

Each project is different, but most updates take only one or two days to complete. Your home remodeling specialist will give you an accurate time frame for completion during your free consultation.

Is there anything I’ll need to do to prepare before the renovation begins?

Just remove any belongings from the space we’ll be working on. This will allow our installers to get to work as soon as they arrive.

Do you hire subcontractors to work on home improvement projects?

We are too committed to exceptional quality to hire subcontractors. We’re better able to maintain our high standards by using only full-time, in-house employees—and all have been factory trained and are highly skilled craftsmen.

Is your company fully licensed and insured?

Yes! Hometown Contractors is a fully licensed and insured remodeling company.

Are there any extra charges above what’s in my contract?

No. Your contract is comprehensive, so it covers everything required to complete the project.

Are the products and labor covered by a warranty?

We stand behind our work with industry-leading warranties. If a problem arises, you can count on us to take care of it during the warranty period.

Can I pay for my project with a credit card?

Yes, we do accept credit cards for home improvement projects.

Is financing available?

Yes. We offer simple financing solutions with a variety of payment options to suit your budget. Our flexible financing makes it easier to budget for the quality updates you need. Talk to your home remodeling specialist about financing options.

Frequently Asked Questions about the My Safe Florida Home Program

My Safe Florida Home Program

How can I benefit from the My Safe Florida Home program?

In 2022, the Florida Legislature passed the “My Safe Florida Home” program. The goal of the Program is to financially assist homeowners whose homes are susceptible to storm damage. The Program provides qualified homeowners with free wind mitigation home inspections and grants for storm-hardening construction.

I have submitted a grant application, but am still waiting for additional grant funding. Can I begin construction?

Construction costs will only be covered once a grant is approved. Currently, only homeowners who have been approved by the Program can begin construction.

Am I eligible for a hurricane home mitigation inspection?

Owners of a single-family home, site-built home, residential home, or townhouse are eligible to apply for a free hurricane mitigation inspection.

How do I set up a home mitigation inspection?

If you are interested in requesting a free home mitigation inspection, you can fill out the virtual form provided on the “My Safe Florida Home” website.

How much funding can I receive through the “My Safe Florida Home” grant application?

Grants are based on current funding available. The Department of Financial Services (DFS) has been approved to provide up to $10,000 in costs to approved homeowners, including low-income homeowners. For every $1 a homeowner provides, the Program will provide $2.

How do I find an inspector? Can I use my own?

No, you must use a licensed inspector assigned by the Program. After you have been approved for a free inspection, a verified inspector will be assigned to your home.

How do I find a contractor? Can I choose my own?

You can choose your own contractor, but they must be pre-approved by the DFS. Once your application has been approved, the DFS will send you a list of contractors you can choose from.
