A quick starting point for homeowners planning renovations, additions, suites, kitchens, decks, and garage projects.
Do I need drawings before contacting you?
No. You don’t need drawings, measurements, or a fully formed plan. What helps most is knowing what’s not working and what you want the project to improve.
How early is too early to reach out?
There’s no such thing. Early conversations help prevent wasted time, misaligned expectations, and unnecessary planning costs.
Can you help me figure out what type of project I actually need?
Yes. This is one of the most common early questions. We help you understand whether your home needs a renovation, an addition, a suite, or a layout change.
How accurate are the planning ranges on your site?
They’re intentionally broad. Actual numbers depend on layout changes, structural work, access, finish level, and municipal requirements.
Do I need a permit for my project?
Additions, suites, structural changes, many decks, and most detached buildings require permits. When in doubt, it’s best to check early.
Can you handle the permit process?
Yes. We coordinate drawings, engineering, and submissions so the process is more manageable.
How long does planning usually take?
It depends on the project. Small projects can take 1–3 weeks, kitchens and decks often take 2–6 weeks, and additions or suites often take 3–8+ weeks.
How long will my project take?
That depends on scope, planning, permits, site conditions, and selections. We focus on realistic timelines instead of optimistic guesses.
Do you install IKEA kitchens?
Yes. IKEA is often a strong value option when planned properly, especially for homeowners who want a good-looking kitchen without jumping straight to full custom cabinetry pricing.
What makes a project a good fit for TimberStone?
A clear problem to solve, a realistic budget comfort zone, and a homeowner who values planning, communication, and thoughtful execution.
