Yes, Lion River Construction is both licensed and insured. We also hold safety meetings for employees to ensure that they get the proper training they need for the work we do. 

Due to the personal nature of our client’s homes, we do not offer viewing of a job site. However, there are photos that you can look at in our gallery to view our work which includes high resolution photos. You can view them here. 

We do our best to maintain the jobsite and will section off the area of construction to minimize the debris throughout the rest of the site. Safety meetings for employees are also held periodically to ensure that they understand safety protocols. 

You need to get as many bids as you feel comfortable with. One of the purposes of getting more bids is so you can have something to compare with. You need to know that the company you want to use is giving you a fair price. A fair price is not always the lowest price. There is a lot more to a project than just the price. The internet has also become a great tool to research cost of projects. Always do your research that way you know what you are getting into. 

It would be a great idea. I would if I were the client. Our company will provide references upon request.

The project is a reflection on the contractor. People always ask “who built your home,” or “who did your remodel?” The contractor has a responsibility to protect his reputation which can be hard to do when only a portion of the project was done by the contractor. Taking this into consideration we have felt it a pleasure to work with our customers and help them to do what ever part they would like to do. We do understand that budgets are tight. However often it is cheaper to step back and let the professional do the entire job. 

No, we provide free estimates within Fresno, Clovis, Sanger and Madera. Call 559-906-1755 for your free estimate.

That’s up to you. We will do our best to protect your home from dirt and dust, and keep the house with water, and electricity. The problem comes when we do a bathroom remodel and you only have one bathroom, and you don’t want to use a portable project toilet. Or a kitchen remodel can be tough if you don’t want to go out to eat more than your use to. 

In order to get the project bid out properly we need to decide what most of those things are before we start the project. If you want a solid gold kitchen faucet and we have budgeted a chrome one, you can see the problem. We understand that this is a huge task and we work with our customers. In order to stay on time and budget most things need to be decided up front. 

A change order is written when there needs to be a change made to the original contract. A change order can be for a specification change, or schedule change. If you have come to us and need the project time frame speeded up because you want it done faster, we have to hire more people etc.. We then would have to charge a fee to pay for these people, overtime etc.. If you come to us and want to change a window from one wall to another and we have already built the wall, or installed the window, then it takes a lot of time and materials that would cost money. 

Here are some questions to ask. 

1. Did the contractor complete the project in a timely manner?
2. Were the workers polite and try to work with you?
3. Did the contractor suggest things to you to help improve the project?
4. Did the cost come within what was projected? If not, was the original plan changed? (Was more work or material added. If so the contractor would have to charge more.)
5. Would you recommend them?
