This remodeling team was a dream company to work with...highly professional and skilled, honest, neat, on time and great communicators. We have two beautiful remodeled bathrooms that met every high expectation we had. Five stars to Trade Works. We are so grateful.

Absolutely phenomenal experience with all the guys on the team. Can’t say enough good things about this company. We talked to multiple companies during the quoting process. We decided on Trade Works because they were reasonably priced and met every request and answered every phone call with a great attitude before we even decided to go with them. Their sense of urgency and professionalism continued throughout the project. A++++.

Drew helped me turn a retail space into a residential one and the experience was fantastic. Drew had great ideas. He really listened to what I wanted to do and had wonderful feedback and suggestions. The project was finished on time and on budget and the communication was exceptional for the duration of the project. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.

From the moment we met with Drew, who described TradeWorks policies and practices, we knew we had found the remodeling company for us. Our Project Manager, Andrew, could not have been more professional, responsive and considerate. We were out of town during the remodel and he was sure to keep us informed of every step of the process. TradeWorks understood our vision for our kitchen and laundry closet remodel and made it a reality. They completed our project on time and within budget.

Drew has done terrific work in my home. I appreciate his attention to detail, cleanliness on the job site and communication about all aspects of the work. We were very happy with our finished project.

Trade Works Remodeling custom built a built-in jewelry cabinet in my master bedroom. I found the design on Houzz and they built it for me. The cabinet appears to be a full length mirror on the outside but opens up to a jewelry cabinet and another full length mirror on the inside. Love it! Drew is very fair on cost and Daniel's work was professional and clean. Very trustworthy team, I allow them in my home without being there. We have now hired the company add to our patio.

My wife and I recently purchased our first home. There were several repairs that needed to be made after closing including some repairs on the roof and replacing some wood that had water damage below a window. Daniel from Trade Works was able to start quickly and completed the job in a very short amount of time with quality that exceeded our expectations. I was very happy with the work he did. Daniel was knowledgable and answered all of my questions (since this is our first home I had plenty) patiently and thoroughly. I would not hesitate to use Trade Works again for either handyman repair type work or even remodeling if we decide to do that down the road. I give Trade Works my highest recommendation. Five star service from a five star company.

I used Tradeworks’ Handyman service to replace the side attic vents on the outside of my home. Birds were getting in the attic and I didn’t want to crawl in the attic nor did I have a ladder big enough for one side of the house. They quoted a reasonable price and completed the work quickly. They were honest and genuine. If anything else comes up I can’t or won’t do I will definitely use them again.

The guys built a deck for us. They cleaned up after themselves!!! As a parent this matters. They also were willing to explain the process to me and kept me informed of when they would be there.

We had an excellent experience with Trade Works in having two bathrooms completely redone. We really enjoyed working with Spencer as our project manager. We appreciated his focus on quality, including immediately addressing a couple of issues where a sub-contractor had fallen short. We were kept informed regarding specific days when work was scheduled and the overall project timeline. Our new bathrooms look great. I would definitely use Trade Works for any future projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a typical remodel cost?

Your remodeling project will most likely cost more and take longer than you think. Final costs are always determined by the size and complexity of the renovation and the cost of the selected finishes. To estimate any project, we use a Fixed Cost system. We take into account all the costs of a project—labor, materials, and other business expenses—and we stick to them. If we plan for five days and it ends up taking seven, then you’ll never see a bill for the additional two days. The only time the cost will change is if you ask for a change in scope or if we come across unforeseen issues (like a dramatic change in the price of materials). This is what it means to be a good steward.

While we give you a price for labor and materials, you are free to find and purchase your selections from anywhere. If you use a vendor that we know, we might even be able to get you a discount!

Our planning and design process takes your project from a vague dream and a guess to detailed drawings, real costs, and an executable plan.

How long does an initial consultation take?

Your first step in a renovation is nothing more than a short phone call. We would love to hear the vision and story of your space and answer any questions. Then we can discuss the typical timeline and costs of recent projects like yours.

If you choose to move forward, the next step is meeting at your home to discuss a more specific timeline and costs related to your project. This is where we begin to “Plan the work and work the plan”. We’ll discuss everything from the project deposit to a detailed timeline—from conception to completion. This in-home consultation typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. By the end of that meeting, you’ll know the cost of your project and what you need to do next to get it done.

Do you all work all across Louisville?

We want to give all our clients the same high level of attention, and we simply cannot provide that if we spend too much time driving.

Because of this, we focus on an area within a 10-mile radius of our office in Lyndon. This allows our project managers to manage their projects efficiently and effectively with a high level of client care and project quality.

How long do projects take?

In short, it depends. It all depends on the size and scope of the work. Some projects can be as short as four weeks (for example, a small bathroom remodel). Others can take close to six months (for example, a large addition or a whole-house remodel). Our planning process includes a full project schedule that we share with you so that you can track our work along the way.

What does the day-to-day look like once the project starts?

Now that we planned the work, it’s time to work the plan! Believe it or not, the first day of work on your project is not demo day! It’s dust protection day. Remodeling is a messy process and we want to minimize the disruption.

Throughout the project, we will communicate with you and care for your home as if it were ours. Each day, your project manager will send you a daily log that communicates what’s been done and what will be done the rest of the week. In order for your project manager to keep the plan on-track, they will know your project inside and out; they’ll be on- site daily to oversee and organize all the people, materials, and details of your project.

Trade Works Remodeling

Trade Works Remodeling

Trade Works Remodeling was started out of the conviction that remodeling your home should not be done with vague plans, reactive management, or sparse, fragmented communication. In the end, the client should be able to walk into the renovated space without regret or disappointment.

I’m convinced that our clients deserve a contractor with the same high level of professionalism that they have themselves. This should be the standard in our industry; sadly, it’s not. That’s why I started Trade Works Remodeling—to develop and master a repeatable process of planning and executing a remodel, while also providing considerate and relational client care. After all, we are guests in your home, and we’d be honored to be invited back.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
