A Streamlined Design-Build Process Backed by Our
On-Time Completion Guarantee
Over the years, one thing has become clear:
Homeowners want predictability, confidence, and the assurance that their project will be completed on time.
So, we’re raising the bar.
Our new On-Time Completion Guarantee is designed to remove the uncertainty that often surrounds remodeling timelines. When you choose Lars, you’ll receive a clearly defined completion date—backed by our commitment and craftsmanship. No guesswork. No surprises. Just the peace of mind that your project will be delivered as promised.
Because trust isn’t built through words. It’s built through accountability.
Our Commitment
For more than three decades, Lars Remodeling & Design has built a reputation on trust, craftsmanship, and accountability. Our Completion Guarantee is the next evolution of that commitment — a promise to complete your project within the timeframe we commit to, giving you confidence and peace of mind every step of the way.
We understand that remodeling can be stressful — especially when it comes to wondering when your project will be finished. Our goal is to minimize that stress by providing clear communication, transparent scheduling, and a defined completion guarantee that reflects our Tradition of Trust.
When we contract a project, we provide an approx. start date and an approx. completion date based on the scope of work, permitting requirements, and design selections. These dates may adjust once permits are issued and all required selections are finalized. Once those conditions are met, Lars will establish your Actual Start Date, and from that point, we guarantee the total duration of your project (subject to the exclusions below).
Project Eligibility
Not all projects qualify for the Completion Guarantee. Eligibility will be determined during the contract review process based on project type, location, and scope. Your Project Consultant will confirm whether your project meets the criteria before your Agreement is finalized.
How It Works
Commencement Date
The guarantee begins on the actual start date of demolition on your project site. This will be documented by an Administrative Change Order.
Completion Date
Completion is defined as the date when the governing building department issues Final Inspection approval for the contracted scope of work.
Note: The guarantee applies solely to Final Inspection approval. Punch-list items and warranty work do not impact the guarantee.
Exclusions
The guarantee does not apply, or may be adjusted, in any of the following cases:
Client Compensation
If your project is not completed by the Guaranteed Completion Date (excluding the above circumstances), Lars Remodeling & Design will credit you $6,000 per month, prorated daily at $200 per calendar day, until Final Inspection approval is received.
Our Promise to You
Your home is our priority. We’re proud to stand behind this guarantee — because your confidence matters as much as your finished space.
This program is a statement of confidence — not just in our craftsmanship, but in our process and discipline. It reinforces our promise to deliver on time, communicate proactively, and uphold our Tradition of Trust throughout every phase of your project.
We finalize your scope, selections, and schedule before construction begins.
Our team manages every detail to keep your project moving with proactive communication at every step.
Move back into your beautifully completed home within the time frame we promised.
Lars Remodeling & Design offers complimentary in-home design consultations. After submitting this form, our concierge will reach out to schedule a convenient time for one of our skilled Project Consultants to meet with you. During the consultation, your Project Consultant will discuss your remodeling goals, explore initial design options, review your budget, and walk through your home to assess key project areas.
See What People Are Saying About Us
When does the Guaranteed Completion Date start?
It begins on the first day of demolition on your project site—not on contract signing or planning.
What counts as “completion”?
Completion is defined as the date your local building department issues Final Inspection approval. Punch lists and warranty work don’t count against it.
What if there’s a delay in permits or inspections?
Delays caused by permitting, government agencies, or required inspections are excluded from the guarantee.
What happens if I make changes mid-project?
Every change order adds a minimum of 3 calendar days to the Guaranteed Completion Date, even if it’s not approved yet.
How do I receive the credit if Lars goes over the deadline?
If we miss your Guaranteed Completion Date, we’ll credit you $200 per day (up to 5% of your contract), either deducted from your final invoice or refunded if paid in full.
