Frequently Asked Questions
Remodeling in Central Arkansas
1. Do I need a building permit for my remodel in Little Rock or Conway?
Yes. In both Little Rock and Conway, permits are generally required for any work involving structural changes, moving walls, or major electrical and plumbing updates.
-
Little Rock: Typically requires a permit for work exceeding $5,000 in value or any project requiring an inspection.
-
Conway: Requires permits for all remodels, additions, and even accessory buildings over 50 sq. ft. * The good news? When you hire Royal Crest, we handle the permitting process for you so you don't have to navigate city hall alone.
2. How long does a typical kitchen or bath remodel take?
While every project is unique, a standard master bath transformation usually takes 3–5 weeks, and a major kitchen remodel takes 5–8 weeks. Factors like custom cabinetry fabrication and lead times for high-end appliances can impact the schedule. We provide a detailed timeline before we ever swing a hammer.
3. Do I need to move out during the renovation?
For most single-room remodels (like a kitchen or bath), you can stay in your home. We use professional dust-containment systems and floor protection to keep the rest of your house clean. However, for full-home "gut" renovations, we may recommend temporary relocation for your comfort.
4. Why should I choose custom cabinets over "Big Box" store options?
Big-box cabinets come in standard sizes, which often results in "dead space" or the use of filler strips. Royal Crest Custom Woods are built to the exact inch of your room. Plus, our cabinets are made of furniture-grade materials designed to withstand the Arkansas humidity, ensuring your drawers won't sag or warp over time.
5. Are you licensed and insured to work in Pulaski and Faulkner Counties?
Yes. We are a fully licensed and insured Residential Remodeler and Builder in the State of Arkansas. We carry both general liability and worker’s compensation to protect our clients and our crew on every job site
