FAQ About Remodeling & Addition Design Sevices

01.
How much do design services cost for remodeling and additions in Iowa?

The cost of design services is dependent on many factors. According to Forbes and Homeguide, you should expect to spend 10-15% on full-service design work. At Zenith, we are between 6-12% depending on the project.

02.
Are design services worth it?

For larger projects or high-impact areas like kitchens and primary bathrooms, the answer is typically yes—professional design services are worth the investment. However, for simpler projects, they may not provide enough value to justify the cost.

03.
How long does it take go through the whole design process?

Typically, the design process takes 10–16 weeks. Phase 1 (floor plan design) takes about 4–6 weeks, while Phase 2 focuses on finalizing selections and project details. This ensures your project is fully constructable and protects you by eliminating ambiguity before construction begins.
