Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It depends on the project; we work with architects and customers to design their home, remodel or addition. For remodels we typically view the site and discuss the project with the customer and prepare an intial general budget based on that information. If the customer wants to proceed we send requests for bids to our subcontractors so we can refine the budget and put the project on the schedule and develop a timeline. When the budget is finalized we issue a contract and begin construction. The type of project really dictates the process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ardun Construction was founded 30 years ago by a second generation contractor who grew up working in the construction business. We have experience building many different things; multi-million dollar new homes, major remodels and additions, swimming pools, home theaters with state of the art sound systems, outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas, remodels of 1920's homes involving structural changes to remove walls and horse barns.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
No, the budget depends on the job and the customers selections and preferences. Each job is special and unique and, we believe, should be treated that way.
How did you get started in this business?
The founder of Ardun Construction grew up working for his father's construction company.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All kinds and we have many repeat customers. For instance we have built three homes for one couple and we just finished a complete remodel of their daughter's home.
Describe a recent project you are fond of.
A custom home we built in Woodinville. The project included a separate pool house with indoor swimming pool.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
In most cases you get what you pay for - do not hire a company based solely on price. Check to make sure the contractor is licensed, bonded and has not had any liens or claims filed against them. Also, if the company you hire uses subcontractors, make sure the subcontractors are all licensed and bonded. Require a written contract and scope of work. Make sure the contract includes a warranty for the work and materials and only pay a deposit in advance. Request references.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
People always under estimate the cost of construction, this area is expensive to build in. Customers should ask if the professional is licensed and bonded, does the professional provide a written quote describing what is included in the quote? How long is the quote valid? Do you provide a timeline? When can you start and, once you start, how long will it take to finish? What is your warranty? If you are hiring on a time and materials basis, require the pro to provide receipts. What is the professional's percentage mark-up?
