“Jim and his crews have done all sorts of work in both of my homes, everything from simple papering jobs to major remodeling projects. His work involved plumbing, electrical installations, drywall and ceiling work, and related detail work.
He also supervised the installation of replacement windows and doors in yet another project. Jim has even built custom cabinets and other furniture to my specifications. It would be hard to think of a project that I would not trust to Jim’s crews.” —Stephan C. Print-ready photos: James Albright (color) James Albright (b/w) |
 About UsJim Albright founded Albright Remodeling in 1973. Since then, he, Sherre, and their crews have made old new again, transformed dwellings into more beautiful and functional spaces, and helped hundreds of families get more out of their homes and surroundings.How We WorkAt Albright Remodeling, we are glad to sit down with a homeowner and discuss a project. We begin with an initial visit where we try to find out what a homeowner wants to accomplish. We review things many homeowners aren’t aware of such how feasible the location they have selected may be for adding a structure, local codes and their possible impact, changes that may be needed in existing plumbing, heating, and electrical supply, resale value added by the proposed project, and approximate cost.If, after this initial meeting, the project still has merit in the homeowner’s eyes, we suggest a meeting with one of our architects to develop preliminary plans. We may feel you need to see some ideas on paper to help you visualize the outcome you have in mind. We also may suggest a visit to one or more completed Albright Remodeling projects similar to yours to help visualize what final results will be. Sketches approved by the homeowner then become finished plans. Most additions take three to six weeks to complete. Everyone has heard horror stories about the kitchen that took six months to complete or the addition started in the spring and finished in winter when it was supposed to be a four-week job. It’s the policy of Albright Remodeling that, once we start your job, we stay on it every day except Sunday until it is completed. We emphasize neatness, keep you informed with daily progress reports, and of course, have complete insurance coverage. We will gladly supply references for any type of project upon request.
