General Questions

What areas do you serve?

Falco & Sons proudly serves West Norriton, Norristown, and the greater Montgomery County area. Whether you're looking to remodel your kitchen, update your bathroom, or refresh your entire home, we bring over 100 years of craftsmanship to your neighborhood.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured contractors in Pennsylvania. Your peace of mind is important to us—every project is backed by our credentials and our family's reputation for quality work.

Do you offer free estimates?

Absolutely. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all remodeling projects. We'll visit your home, discuss your vision, and give you a detailed breakdown of costs and timeline at no charge.

How long has Falco & Sons been in business?

We've been serving families since the 1920s—that's over 100 years of remodeling experience passed down through three generations. Our longevity reflects our commitment to honest work and customer satisfaction.

Can you handle custom projects?

Yes. With our in-house workshop and experienced craftsmen, we tackle everything from standard remodels to unique, custom builds. If you can dream it, we can likely build it.

Kitchen & Bath

How long does a typical kitchen remodel take?

A full kitchen remodel typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on scope and complexity. This includes demolition, new layout (if applicable), plumbing/electrical, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and finishing. We'll give you a clear timeline during the estimate phase.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Bathroom remodels usually take 2–4 weeks. Smaller updates (new fixtures, paint, tile) can be faster, while full gut renovations with structural changes take longer. We'll confirm the exact timeline based on your specific project.

Can you work with my existing kitchen or bathroom layout?

Absolutely. We can update your existing space with new cabinets, countertops, flooring, and fixtures—or completely reconfigure the layout if that's what you want. Falco & Sons handles both cosmetic refreshes and structural reimagines.

Do you handle plumbing and electrical work during remodels?

Yes. We either handle it in-house or coordinate with licensed plumbers and electricians we trust. We manage all trades on your behalf, so you don't have to juggle multiple contractors.

What cabinet, countertop, and appliance brands do you recommend?

We work with a range of quality brands at different price points. During your estimate, we'll discuss options that fit your budget and style—from cost-effective to premium—and share recommendations based on our experience and customer feedback.

Project Planning

What's the first step to starting a remodeling project?

Call us to schedule a free in-home estimate. We'll listen to your ideas, assess your space, and provide a detailed proposal with costs and timeline. If you're ready to move forward, we'll arrange a contract signing and project kickoff.

Do you offer design help, or should I hire a designer?

We can guide you on layout, materials, and functionality based on our 100+ years of experience. For custom design work, we can recommend local designers we've worked with, or you can bring your own. Either way, we'll build exactly what you want.

Do I need permits for my remodel? Do you handle them?

Most kitchen and bathroom remodels require permits in Montgomery County. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our process—you won't have to deal with paperwork or scheduling inspections yourself.

Can I stay in my home while you're working?

It depends on the project scope. For full kitchen or bathroom remodels, we recommend staying elsewhere during demolition and roughing-in phases due to dust, noise, and limited access. Smaller projects may allow you to stay. We'll discuss the best arrangement during planning.

What should I expect during the project?

We protect your home with drop cloths, dust barriers, and daily cleanup. We'll communicate updates regularly, keep disruption minimal, and respect your space. You'll know our schedule in advance so you can plan accordingly.

Pricing & Estimates

How do you determine project costs?

Our pricing is based on materials, labor, permits, and complexity. We provide itemized estimates that break down each component so you understand exactly what you're paying for. We're transparent about costs and won't surprise you with hidden fees.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Our estimate includes everything we've discussed—materials, labor, permits, and overhead. If the project scope changes after we start, we'll notify you immediately and provide a change order before proceeding. No surprises.

What happens if the actual cost is different from the estimate?

We stand behind our estimates. If we encounter unexpected conditions (hidden structural damage, old plumbing, etc.), we'll document it, show you the issue, and discuss options before any extra work is done. Changes are always your decision.

Can you work within a specific budget?

Yes. Tell us your budget, and we'll design the remodel to fit it. We prioritize your must-haves and make smart choices on materials and finishes to maximize value without cutting quality corners.
