Our Renovation Process: From Free Estimate to Completed Project | MHG Contracting
Step 1: Free In-Home Consultation & Estimate
Every MHG Contracting project begins with a free consultation. We start with a quick phone call to learn about your project, then schedule an in-person visit to your home in Hamilton, Princeton, West Windsor, Lawrenceville, Plainsboro, Yardley, or anywhere in Central NJ. During this visit, we assess the existing space, discuss your vision and budget, take measurements, and provide an honest evaluation of what is possible. Within a few days, you receive a detailed written estimate with transparent pricing — no hidden fees or vague allowances.
Step 2: Design & Planning
Once you are ready to move forward, our team invests 2-3 weeks in detailed design work, including drawings, renderings, and material selections, so you can visualize the finished result before any construction begins. We coordinate material selections, finalize layouts, and create a comprehensive project timeline. For larger projects, clients receive a week-by-week schedule so there are never any surprises. MHG Contracting handles all permit applications and approvals required by your local municipality in Central New Jersey.
Step 3: Construction & Build Phase
During construction, our team leads are on-site to oversee every aspect of your renovation. Our skilled team handles demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, tile, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, painting, and all finish work. We maintain a clean, organized job site and communicate progress updates throughout the build. If any questions or decisions arise during construction, you hear from us immediately. MHG Contracting coordinates all subcontractors, inspections, and material deliveries to keep your project on schedule.
