Frequently Asked Questions
Still have some questions? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get about taking on new construction remodeling projects:
Yes. As a true full-service firm, we have in-house architects, designers and contractors allowing us to handle the entire new build or addition process seamlessly under one roof. This simplifies the process significantly compared to working with multiple companies.
Most new construction projects take 6-12 months from breaking ground to receiving an occupancy permit depending on size, complexity and weather delays. The planning, permitting and bidding phases add an additional 4-12 weeks on the front end before construction begins.
We design and build projects in a wide range of popular architectural styles – farmhouse, craftsman, modern, transitional etc. Together we’ll narrow down the best style for the home given your taste, lifestyle and neighborhood.
Absolutely. A defined budget is crucial before design begins so we can engineer the plans and select finishes that align with what you can spend. Communicating early and often about budget helps avoid surprises down the road.
With 10+ years locally, we are experts at navigating the permitting and inspection process specific to the Wichita area building codes. Maintaining open communication leaves little guess work for city officials signing off each stage of construction.
There are wonderful green options we can incorporate depending on goals and budget – energy Star appliances, spray foam insulation, solar panels, tankless water heaters, smart home automation and more. We help identify where these investments pay dividends down the road.
Absolutely! We have an extensive portfolio of local projects we’d be happy to showcase. Contact us to schedule a time to review past work and talk with client references firsthand about their experience partnering with us.
Whether building on vacant land or adding on to an occupied home, construction by nature involves some dust, noise, vehicles and workers passing through. We work closely with you upfront to map out a plan that minimizes day-to-day disruption as much as realistically possible throughout all phases.
We provide a minimum one year workmanship warranty on all contractor services – longer on many finishes and systems. Additionally manufacturers warranties cover many materials for 5-10 years or longer providing peace of mind long after the job is done.
Our President and Project Manager maintain open communication from start to finish. As questions come up or ideas evolve, we remain transparent around schedule and budget impact of modifications so you can make informed decisions.
We hope this gives you a great overview of the new construction and addition services Mid America Exteriors offers! We welcome any other questions at all about how we can bring your vision to life.
