Remodeling your home is one of the most disruptive things you'll ever sign up for. Strangers in your kitchen. Dust in places you didn't know existed. A budget that feels like it could sprint away at any moment, and a timeline that hinges on people you've never met. Most of the horror stories you've heard are real, and most of them are preventable. This page walks you through what working with Bunn & Sons feels like from the first day of demolition to the final walkthrough, so you know exactly what to expect before you ever sign a contract.
Most of the problems that derail a remodel come from one thing: contractors keeping reality at arm's length. We've spent a decade building the opposite kind of company. A company that plans for everything that happens on a jobsite, staffs for it, schedules for it, and tells you the truth about it. Every process on this page exists because we watched homeowners get burned by the lack of it somewhere else.
We run one to two major projects at a time, rarely three. Your home gets the team’s full attention, not a rotation of whoever was free that week.
Every detail of the scope, budget, and schedule is nailed down in preconstruction. You sign a number, and that’s the number, minus the rare change order you initiate or something genuinely undiscoverable during the project development process.
Our superintendent sends a schedule update every week so you always know what’s happening and what’s coming next. You’ll never have to call and ask where things stand.
The plumber, the electrician, the framer. These are long-term partners who meet our standards for safety, quality, and how they treat your home and your family.
After ten years of remodels, we know the five things that keep homeowners up at night before a project starts. Click through each one below to see how we handle it, what proof we can show you, and what our clients have said about it after the fact.
You’ve heard the stories. A $100K kitchen becomes a $250K kitchen. Every change order feels like a hostage negotiation. By month four, you’re funding a project you no longer recognize.
Before we ever swing a hammer, we spend real time in preconstruction. Our PDA phase captures every detail of scope, every material selection, every subcontractor bid, every known risk. We identify the “known unknowns” before they become invoices. When you sign the build contract, the price is the price. Change orders happen only when you ask for something new or when something truly undiscoverable shows up behind a wall, and either way, you see the number before you approve it.
You’ve been told “we’ll be out by Thanksgiving” before. You know how that ends. Subs don’t show. Materials don’t arrive. Suddenly, you’re cooking in a basement through the holidays, and nobody has a straight answer.
Our schedule is built in JobTread, with a full Gantt chart that maps every trade, delivery, and milestone. We build in buffer time for weather, sick days, PTO, holidays, and the deliveries that inevitably show up wrong. The schedule looks into each sub’s availability, not just ours. Our superintendent updates it weekly and sends you the latest version, even when nothing has changed.

The crew shows up, the crew leaves, and you have no idea what happened or what’s next. You text the contractor and hear back three days later. You feel like a stranger in your own project.
Every Bunn & Sons client gets their own portal where they can see the schedule, daily job logs, photos, documents, and every message exchanged on their project. Our superintendent keeps up with daily updates from the trades and sends you a weekly recap with progress photos and a heads-up on what’s coming next. You will never wonder what’s happening in your house.

A different truck in the driveway every day. A framer you’ve never met, letting himself into your house at 7 a.m. Subs who are grumpy because their last GC didn’t pay them on time and who are about to take it out on your project.
The people who work on your home are not picked off a list. They’re trade partners we’ve built relationships with over the years. We pay them on time, every time. We don’t grind them on price. We give them schedules they can actually hit. The result is that the plumber, the electrician, the tile setter, and the cabinet installer who walk through your door are people who are happy to be there, who care about the quality of their work, and who treat your home the way they’d treat their own.
Dust everywhere. Tools on the dining table. A front yard that looks like a construction zone. Neighbors banging on the door with complaints. Your kids’ morning routine in ruins.
We have policies in place for site security, cleanliness, and daily cleanup. We introduce ourselves to your neighbors at the start of the project so they know who to call if something comes up. We help you think through relocation options if your project requires it, from short-term rentals to furnished stays, drawing on what previous clients have done. And when the build is complete, we professionally clean your entire home, top to bottom, before handing it back to you.
These are the reviews that keep us honest, and they’re the reason so many of our projects start with a referral from someone who’s been through the process.
