Frequently Asked Questions

A full bathroom remodel typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on layout changes and fixture complexity. Projects involving plumbing relocation or custom tile work may require additional time. At DL Remodeling, we focus on minimizing disruption while maintaining attention to detail throughout the process.

Older homes often have outdated plumbing layouts, electrical systems, and non-standard cabinet dimensions that require careful planning. Addressing these structural elements early prevents costly surprises and improves workflow. DL Remodeling has extensive experience updating kitchens in older Upstate South Carolina properties while respecting original home character.

South Carolina's humid climate makes proper ventilation and moisture-resistant materials essential to prevent mold, mildew, and material damage. Quality exhaust systems and moisture barriers extend the lifespan of finishes. DL Remodeling prioritizes durable materials suited to local humidity and temperature fluctuations.

LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is water-resistant, more affordable, and easier to maintain, while hardwood offers natural beauty and long-term value. Hardwood can be refinished multiple times but is sensitive to moisture. DL Remodeling helps homeowners choose based on room use, budget, and South Carolina climate considerations.

Older doors in Fountain Inn homes often lack modern insulation standards. DL Remodeling ensures proper fit, sealing, and hardware for improved performance.

Custom cabinets maximize every inch by fitting non-standard layouts, awkward corners, and unique ceiling heights. They allow for personalized organization features like pull-outs, dividers, and built-ins. DL Remodeling designs specialty cabinets tailored to your home's specific dimensions and storage needs.

Precision cuts and tight joints are essential for a polished appearance. At DL Remodeling, we match trim styles to both traditional and modern homes throughout the Upstate.

Smooth, properly repaired drywall ensures paint applies evenly and looks professional. Unrepaired cracks, holes, or seams become more visible after painting. DL Remodeling bundles drywall repair with interior painting to deliver seamless finishes in remodel and refresh projects.

Tile, LVP, and LVT are ideal for high-humidity spaces like bathrooms and kitchens because they resist moisture and won't warp or buckle. Hardwood is not recommended in consistently damp environments.
