Holland Builders Co.

FAQ

While both an interior remodel and a home addition aim to improve your living space, a home addition is a significantly more complex undertaking that requires a builder with deep expertise in structure, architecture, and seamless integration. At Holland Builders Co., our extensive experience as custom home builders gives us a distinct advantage in executing flawless home additions in the Orlando area. As a company serving Central Florida with exterior remodel services, we bring a holistic approach to every project we handle.

Key Differences in the Process:

  • Foundation and Structural Work: Unlike an interior remodel that works within the existing footprint, an addition requires expanding it. This involves significant site work, including excavation, pouring a new foundation, and framing new walls and a roof system. The team at Holland Builders Co. ensures the new foundation is properly engineered and seamlessly joined to the existing structure to guarantee long-term stability.
  • Exterior Integration and Architecture: A successful addition should look like it was always part of the original home, not an afterthought. This requires meticulous planning to match rooflines, siding, windows, and other exterior finishes. Our design-build approach at Holland Builders Co. focuses on creating a cohesive architectural blend, ensuring the addition enhances your home's curb appeal and value.
  • Complex Permitting and Zoning: Home additions are subject to more stringent zoning laws and building codes, including regulations about property line setbacks and lot coverage ratios. Our team has deep familiarity with these Orlando-area regulations. We manage this complex permitting process entirely, ensuring your project is fully compliant from the outset.

Why Our Custom Building Experience Matters:

Because Holland Builders Co. is not just a remodeling company but a third-generation custom home builder, we have the comprehensive skills required for these complex projects. We understand the entire structure of a home, from the ground up. This allows us to:

  • Integrate Systems Seamlessly: We expertly tie in all mechanical systems—HVAC, electrical, and plumbing—from the new addition to your existing home, ensuring they function efficiently and effectively as a single, integrated system.
  • Manage Site and Logistics: We are proficient at managing the larger-scale logistics of an addition, including coordinating heavy equipment, managing material deliveries, and ensuring the site remains safe and organized.

In essence, a home addition is like building a miniature custom home attached to your existing one. Choosing an experienced builder like Holland Builders Co. ensures both the structural integrity and the aesthetic harmony of the final, expanded living space.

At Holland Builders Co., our relationship with you doesn’t end the day we finish your project. We stand firmly behind the quality of our work and the durability of our craftsmanship. To provide our clients with complete confidence and long-term peace of mind, every Orlando home remodeling project we complete is backed by our comprehensive 1-Year Builder's Warranty. This warranty is our written promise to you that we will stand by the integrity of our work.

What Our Warranty Covers:

Our 1-Year Builder's Warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials for a full year from the date of project completion. This warranty is designed to address issues that may arise from the normal settling of your home or other unforeseen problems related to the construction we performed. It’s our commitment to ensuring everything functions exactly as it should.

Coverage typically includes:

  • Workmanship: This protects against issues arising from the installation and labor performed by our team. Examples include tile that becomes loose, drywall seams that crack, or a cabinet door that becomes misaligned.
  • Materials: The warranty covers defects in the materials we supply and install. If a fixture we provided is found to be faulty or a material fails prematurely due to a manufacturing defect, we will address it.
  • Systems Integration: For major remodels and additions, this includes the proper functioning of systems we installed or modified, such as electrical wiring, plumbing connections, and HVAC ductwork.

How the Warranty Process Works:

The process is simple and transparent. If you discover an issue that you believe is covered under your warranty, you simply contact us. The team at Holland Builders Co. will schedule a time to come to your home, assess the issue, and determine the best course of action. If the defect is covered, we will repair or replace the faulty item at no cost to you—no arguments, no runarounds.

This warranty is a core part of our "relationship-first" philosophy. It demonstrates that Holland Builders Co. is not just focused on a single transaction; we are dedicated to building lasting trust with our clients. It’s our assurance that the investment you made in your home is protected by a company that takes pride in its work and is committed to your complete and lasting satisfaction.

Taking the first step toward your home remodel is exciting, and at Holland Builders Co., we make it simple and informative. Getting started is as easy as reaching out to our team for a free, no-obligation estimate and consultation. This initial meeting is a crucial part of our process, designed to be a collaborative and insightful conversation, not a high-pressure sales pitch.

  • Listening to Your Vision: The most important part of this session is for us to listen. We want you to walk us through your home and tell us what you envision. What do you want to change? What isn’t working for your family? What are your ultimate goals for the space?
  • Sharing Ideas and Expertise: Based on your goals, we will offer our professional insights and initial ideas. With decades of experience in Orlando-area homes, we can often provide suggestions on layouts, materials, or structural possibilities that you may not have considered.
  • Discussing Practicalities: We will have an open and honest discussion about practical considerations. This includes preliminary budget ranges for the type of project you have in mind and realistic timelines. This helps ensure that we are all on the same page from the very beginning.
  • Answering Your Questions: This is your opportunity to ask us anything. We encourage you to inquire about our process, our company history, our licensing and insurance, or anything else that is on your mind. The team at Holland Builders Co. is committed to full transparency.
