Pricing

How pricing works

Every estimate separates measurable labor from allowances you control. Fixed lines cover demolition protection, rough carpentry, and trade hours we can verify from plans and site photos. Allowances hold budget for fixtures, tile, and appliances you will select later, so you are not locked into showroom choices on day one.

Hourly repair work suits isolated tasks: sticking doors, small drywall patches, or fixture swaps that do not require a full trade crew. Room packages express cost per square foot for defined bath or kitchen scopes that include standard protection, disposal, and a dedicated lead carpenter. Whole-home partner pricing reflects overlapping trades, weekly owner meetings, and calendar priority when inspections or weather shift.

Deposits align with material orders and permit fees, not arbitrary percentages. Milestone invoices match visible progress: rough-in complete, drywall ready for paint, and final punch. You always see what triggered a bill before it arrives.

Small repair visits use a straightforward hourly rate with a minimum visit length so diagnostics are thorough. Room packages express cost per square foot as an allowance that includes standard protection, disposal, and a dedicated lead. Whole-home partner pricing reflects multi-trade coordination, weekly owner meetings, and priority scheduling when weather or inspections shift.

Allowances and change orders

When you upgrade a faucet beyond an allowance or add recessed lights after drywall is open, we document the difference in a change order with cost and schedule impact. No hidden markup language—just scope, quantity, and trade hours required. That keeps trust intact when walls are already open.

Roofing and exterior scopes list tear-off, decking repair units, and ventilation upgrades separately so you can compare bids fairly. Permit and inspection fees appear as their own lines when jurisdictions require them. Closeout includes warranty registration reminders so manufacturer coverage stays valid after install.

What is included in each package

Essential repair visits cover diagnostics, minor carpentry, caulk refresh, and hardware adjustments. We carry common fasteners and sealants so small fixes do not require a return trip. Room refresh packages include demo protection, haul-away, rough and finish trade coordination, and a punch walk with photo notes. Whole-home partner work adds dedicated scheduling, consolidated material deliveries, and a single invoice rhythm tied to milestones you can see on site.

Taxes, rush fees for after-hours emergency leaks, and specialty engineering are quoted separately when they apply. We explain those triggers during estimating so you can decide whether to proceed before deposits are collected. Financing is not offered on this site; payment expectations are spelled out in your signed scope.

Comparing bids fairly

Ask any contractor whether allowances match the same fixture quality tier and whether demolition includes disposal and protection. yourzencamp Homes publishes those assumptions on every summary. When numbers differ, we will review a competitor line list with you and map each item to labor, material, or allowance categories so you understand the gap.
