Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions homeowners ask us most about estimates, pricing, permits and scheduling.

How do I get an estimate from Perfect House?

Request it online with our estimate form, call 570-517-9122 or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us what you need and, if you can, attach up to 5 photos of the area. We contact you to go over the details, schedule a visit to see the work in person when the project needs it, and then send you an itemized written quote by email. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it.

What should I have ready before the estimate?

A short description of the work, your address, photos of the area, any measurements you already have, and your preferences for materials or finishes. If you have inspiration pictures or a rough budget in mind, share them too: they help us recommend the right scope from the start.

How much will my project cost?

Every home and every project is different, so we don't publish fixed prices. The cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of what's there today (water damage, old wiring or uneven floors change the work), the materials and finishes you choose, and whether permits are needed. Your written quote lists each item so you can see exactly what you're paying for.

How long will my project take?

It depends on the scope: a repair can take a day, while a full bathroom, kitchen or basement remodel takes considerably longer, and material availability and inspections also play a part. We go over the expected timing with you before work begins and keep you informed if anything changes along the way.

Do I need a permit for my project?

In Pennsylvania, many projects that change structure, plumbing, electrical or HVAC need a permit from your municipality under the Uniform Construction Code, while cosmetic work such as painting or most flooring usually doesn't. Requirements vary by town, so we review whether your project needs one as part of the estimate.

What areas do you serve?

We work across Northeastern Pennsylvania: the Lehigh Valley (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton), Greater Scranton, the Wilkes-Barre area and the Poconos. Our office is at 961 Marcon Boulevard in Allentown. If your town isn't listed, call us and we'll let you know.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Bathroom, kitchen and basement remodeling, whole-home remodeling, roof repair, siding, interior and exterior painting, drywall and interior repairs, decks and porches, property maintenance, house cleaning and handyman work. As a general contractor we can also coordinate the different trades a larger project needs.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Our team works in English and Spanish, from the first call to the end of the project, and our website is available in both languages.

Will you protect my home and clean up?

Yes. We protect floors and furniture in the work area, keep the site organized while we work, and clean up when the job is done. If your family needs to keep using part of the space during the project, tell us during the estimate and we'll plan around it.

Do you work with landlords and rental properties?

Yes. We handle repairs, rental turnovers between tenants, seasonal maintenance and cleaning for landlords and property owners, as well as projects for homeowners.

How does payment work?

Payment terms are written into your quote before the work starts, and you receive your invoices by email. Customers also get access to our online customer portal, where they can see their invoices and follow their project.

Is my work covered by a warranty?

Warranty coverage depends on the type of work and the materials installed. When a warranty applies, we document its terms and dates with your project so you always know what's covered and until when.
