Frequently asked questions
Block’s contractor vetting process is highly rigorous to ensure you work with only the best contractors. We verify business credentials, licenses, insurance, and background checks to guarantee a clean legal record. We conduct in-depth phone evaluations to assess each contractor’s communication, project management, and renovation expertise. We also visit recently completed remodels to check for renovation quality.
Block does a wide range of home renovations, including bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, basement finishing, home addition, and gut renovations. Whether you’re upgrading a single room or remodeling your entire space, we’ve got you covered.
After you take our quiz and share your renovation details, Block will match you with vetted local contractors tailored to your specific needs. You’ll receive fast, competitive quotes tailored to your budget and needs.
No obligation! You can review estimates, scopes, and contractor profiles with no commitment. Block gives you control and confidence in the renovation process.
With Block’s secure payment system, you never pay contractors directly. After an initial deposit to kick off work, payments are released as your renovation progresses, ensuring your money is protected and your contractor stays motivated to keep the project on schedule.
Block provides expert scope reviews to catch missing items and red flags early, helping you avoid costly mistakes. We also review change orders, which are changes to your initial scope after construction has started, on demand.
Every Block homeowner is paired with a free dedicated Renovation Consultant—your personal expert for navigating proposals, timelines, and contractor selection. They’ll help you: — Review and compare bids — Flag red flags or missing scope details — Coordinate site visits — Recommend designers or architects if needed — Support proposal negotiations — Give advice or answer any questions during the course of your renovation Whether you want full support or just a second opinion, your Consultant is here to help—free of charge, with no obligation.
