Frequently Asked Questions

Over the years, we’ve heard common questions from homeowners. Here are just a few:

Are you fully licensed and insured for local projects?

Absolutely. We hold full licensing and insurance for residential work across Montgomery and Chester Counties. We also manage all necessary inspections with Collegeville Borough, Lower Providence, and other local municipal offices. Our PA Home Improvement Contractor License Number is PA066259.

Do you handle smaller upgrades or just large home renovations?

We take on a wide variety of jobs. These range from smaller exterior and interior upgrades starting around $5,000 to large home additions and whole house renovations up to $500,000. If your project is straightforward, we will be upfront about it and price it fairly.

Do you handle buying the materials, or do I need to shop for everything myself?

We handle all the heavy lifting when it comes to ordering and delivering structural materials like lumber, drywall, and roofing. For finish materials like kitchen cabinets, bathroom tile, and plumbing fixtures, we point you toward trusted local suppliers here in Montgomery County. Once you make your design selections, we take over the purchasing and delivery to ensure everything arrives on site exactly when our crew needs it.

Can we stay in our house while you are remodeling or building an addition?

In most cases, yes. We know how disruptive construction can be to your family routine. We set up heavy duty dust barriers, protect your flooring, and clean the job site at the end of every single day. If a project requires briefly shutting off your water or power, we coordinate it with you well in advance so you are never caught off guard. For massive whole house renovations, we will advise you early on if moving out temporarily is the safest and most efficient option.

What does your payment schedule look like, and how much is the deposit?

A typical payment schedule is 10–25% upfront to secure your project date and order materials, with milestone payments tied to work completion, and a final payment due only after you’ve done a walkthrough and are satisfied.

Do you work on both interiors and exteriors?

Yes. Our portfolio includes additions, finished basements, decks, siding, window and door updates, and full stucco remediation with rainscreen assemblies.

How do you handle unexpected costs or changes mid-project?

Every change gets a written change order before any additional work is done. We price out the change, explain why it’s needed, and get your signature before proceeding. You’ll never be surprised by a bill for work you didn’t explicitly approve in writing.

Customer Testimonials

“Steve is very knowledgeable and explained every detail of his water proofing method. We talked through the color and material choices and couldn’t be happier. His crew is very good and he is actually on site doing work, not like other contractors who send crews and you never see the boss. He was very open to our many questions and took the time to explain what was happening and why. Almost forgot to mention Jana she is excellent to work with and all paperwork is sent in a timely matter. Highly recommend Merman Construction.”

John M. | Stucco Remediation, Exterior Finishing

“Steve and his crew did an excellent job with repairs and improvements to my 225 year old farmhouse and barn. They showed up timely and kept me informed during the process. I would highly recommend his services.”

Jeremy M.|General construction, Home renovations

“10/10 experience, with now a days prices Jana and Steve got us a GREAT and super competitive price! Not only was the price good, but the service to match it was better. Steve is SUPER diligent, master of his craft. Was able to analyze the scope of the project and the small intricacies from day one. Jana was super on top of it with telling us where we are at through the whole process and providing us interactive models of the extension AS it is being built. If you’re in the Chester county area I can’t see any other option than Merman!”
