Process & Payment Questions
What does Razco’s renovation process look like?
Our process has four key stages: (1) Free consultation and site assessment, (2) Design, material selection, and written quote, (3) Permit application if required, (4) Renovation — demolition, rough-in work, finishing — followed by a final walk-through and sign-off.
What are Razco’s payment terms?
We typically structure payments in stages tied to project milestones — a deposit at signing (10–20%), progress payments at defined milestones, and a final payment after the walk-through and your satisfaction. We never ask for more than 30% upfront.
Does Razco offer a warranty on renovation work?
Yes. Razco provides a workmanship warranty on all completed projects. The warranty period varies by type of work — ask your project manager for the specific warranty terms that apply to your renovation scope.
Can I hire just a plumber or just a painter from Razco?
Yes. While we primarily handle full renovations, we also take on individual trade services — plumbing, painting, carpentry, drywall, and flooring — as standalone jobs. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
