Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does kitchen remodeling improve workflow in older homes?

    Kitchen remodeling optimizes appliance placement, work triangles, and storage to make cooking and cleaning more efficient. In older Cherry Hill homes with cramped footprints, reconfiguring layouts can eliminate bottlenecks and add functional counter space. At Trav Construction Group, we coordinate framing, flooring, and finishes to create kitchens that truly work for busy families.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make when planning a residential remodel?

    Many homeowners plan oversized, unnecessary scopes that exceed their needs and budget. Focusing on practical upgrades—like layout changes, new flooring, and updated finishes—delivers better value and less disruption. At Trav Construction Group, we help South Jersey families plan room-by-room improvements that match how they actually use their spaces.
  • Why is proper framing important before drywall goes up?

    Proper framing ensures walls are straight, level, and strong enough to support doors, windows, and finishes. Precise measurements prevent wavy drywall and misaligned openings, especially in older construction where existing conditions vary. At Trav Construction Group, we frame methodically so finished spaces feel solid and look clean.
  • When should you replace vinyl flooring with LVP?

    Replace vinyl flooring when it's worn, outdated, or damaged by moisture. Luxury vinyl plank offers better durability, easier maintenance, and a modern look that refreshes living rooms, hallways, and rental units quickly. Many Cherry Hill-area homeowners upgrade to LVP during remodels or after water damage repairs.
  • What affects the cost of a commercial remodel?

    Cost depends on square footage, scope of framing and flooring work, finish materials, and scheduling around business hours. Code-aware framing, traffic flow planning, and coordination to minimize downtime also impact pricing. At Trav Construction Group, we provide budget-friendly plans tailored to offices and retail spaces in Cherry Hill and surrounding areas.
  • How quickly should water damage to vinyl flooring be addressed?

    Water damage should be addressed as soon as it's spotted to prevent buckling, lifting, and mold growth. Quick response allows removal of affected planks, drying, and seamless replacement before moisture spreads to subfloors or walls. At Trav Construction Group, we respond promptly to leaks and appliance failures throughout South Jersey.
  • What's the difference between structural and non-structural framing?

    Structural framing supports loads and is required for exterior walls or major openings, while non-structural framing creates partitions, closets, and soffits without bearing weight. Both require precise work to ensure straight lines and solid attachment. At Trav Construction Group, we handle both types during residential and commercial remodeling projects.
  • How does painting tie together a kitchen remodel?

    Painting provides the final finish that unifies cabinets, backsplashes, and flooring with crisp lines and smooth surfaces. Proper prep—patching, sanding, and priming—ensures walls and trim look professional and cohesive. At Trav Construction Group, we protect floors and furnishings while delivering clean, lasting results across Cherry Hill and beyond.
  • Can a remodeling contractor help coordinate insurance claims?

    Yes, experienced contractors can work directly with insurance companies and restoration partners to streamline claims and repairs. This coordination helps clients move from damage assessment to completed work efficiently. At Trav Construction Group, we regularly partner with multiple restoration companies to support insurance-backed projects in South Jersey.
  • What flooring challenges are common in older Cherry Hill homes?

    Older Cherry Hill homes often have uneven subfloors, moisture concerns, and outdated vinyl or carpet that requires careful removal and prep. Evaluating substrate condition and transitions between rooms ensures new LVP or vinyl installs look professional and last. At Trav Construction Group, we address these issues during residential remodeling and flooring projects.
  • Why is subfloor inspection critical before installing new flooring?

    Subfloor inspection identifies moisture, damage, or unevenness that can cause buckling, squeaks, or premature failure. Addressing these issues before installation ensures a smooth, long-lasting surface. At Trav Construction Group, we inspect and prepare subfloors carefully, especially after water damage or in older South Jersey properties.
  • How do you minimize disruption during a commercial remodel?

    Minimizing disruption involves detailed planning, working around business hours, and coordinating framing, flooring, and painting in logical sequences. Clear communication keeps staff and customers informed. At Trav Construction Group, we schedule work to reduce downtime for offices and retail spaces in Cherry Hill, Moorestown, and surrounding communities.
