Q & A

1 . WHAT IS RIKB DESIGN BUILD ’ S TOP PRIORITY WHEN TAKING ON A REMODEL ?
A wonderful remodeling experience is always our top priority . At RIKB Design Build , we believe remodeling is a service — not a product . That ’ s why we ’ ve chosen to combine both design and construction into a seamless process . Homeowners can expect ongoing communication from everyone on our team through every step of the remodel . Plus , we understand your home is your sanctuary and not a job site and that we are guests in the home .

Q & A

1 . WHY SHOULD A HOMEOWNER HIRE A PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION COMPANY , LIKE DAI RESTORE , TO REMOVE AND REMEDIATE MOLD GROWTH FROM THEIR HOME VS SIMPLY WASHING AWAY VISIBLE TRACES OF MOLD ?
Mold spores grow undetected inside wall cavities and under carpets / cabinets , affecting structural integrity . DAI Restore ’ s certified technicians follow ANSI / IICRC S520 and EPA guidelines . We utilize industry standard protocols , detailed plans , controlled environments and we employ specialty equipment to detect and contain hidden mold spores on surfaces and in the air , all while establishing designated “ containment areas ” to prevent cross-contamination . Our goal is to educate you about the process and how proper remediation can prevent future growth while restoring your home efficiently and effectively .
2 . WHY SHOULD I USE A DESIGN BUILD COMPANY FOR MY REMODELING PROJECT ?
Whether you are planning a cosmetic project or full-scale remodel , a design build company serves as a single point of contact from design through project completion . Having a single company handle everything from start to finish creates clarity in design and budgeting and ensures even the most complex projects are efficient and hassle-free . The greatest benefit for homeowners is that they serve as a true partner to achieve the family ’ s goals , including design , functionality and style , within your budget .
