Change Order

Renovation Process

Change orders happen on every remodel. A tile gets discontinued. You decide you want the shower bigger. Demo reveals something behind a wall that changes the plan. None of that is unusual — and none of it has to be stressful.  At Tenhulzen Residential, we treat change orders as a normal part of the process. What matters is how we handle them.

How It Works

When a change is needed, we stop before work continues. We document the change, price it out, explain any impact on your schedule, and get your written approval. Nothing moves forward until you sign off. That’s not a formality — that’s how we keep your budget honest.

Why We Work This Way

Some contractors make changes on the fly and bill you at the end. You find out what it cost when the invoice arrives. We think that’s the wrong way to run a project. Every change order at Tenhulzen Residential is documented, priced, and agreed upon before a single tool moves. You stay in control of your project at every stage.

The Scripting Advantage

Most change orders come from gaps in planning. Before your project starts, we build a detailed script for how the work will unfold. That upfront investment catches the surprises early — before they become expensive mid-project decisions. The result: fewer change orders overall, and zero surprises when they do happen.

What to Expect

When a change order comes up, here’s the sequence:

• We identify the change and put it in writing
• We price it and show you the full cost breakdown
• We explain any impact on your timeline
• You approve or decline before work resumes

Clean. Documented. No guessing.
