Frequently asked questionsAnswers before your project begins.
Practical information about renovations, stucco, painting, permitting, and working with Imperial Group.
Do you offer free estimates?
Contact us to discuss your project and the next steps. We will explain whether an on-site visit, measurements, plans, or a detailed paid assessment is needed before a formal written proposal.
Are you licensed for general contracting in Florida?
Our listed credentials are Florida state contractor license RG291103897 and Broward County contractor license 15-CGC-B-19921-X. License status and scope can be verified with the applicable issuing authorities.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve South Florida, focusing on Broward County, including Miramar, Plantation, Sunrise, Tamarac, Lauderhill, and nearby communities. Contact us for project availability in your area.
Can you handle permits and inspections?
For projects within our agreed scope, we can coordinate applicable permit submissions and inspections. Permit fees, required design documents, and approval timelines depend on the jurisdiction and project.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom or kitchen remodel?
That depends on the work and the local building department. Plumbing, electrical, structural work, and certain window or door replacements commonly trigger permit requirements. We review this during project planning.
Do you install hurricane-impact windows and doors?
Yes. We discuss the opening conditions, approved products, applicable wind-load requirements, permits, and installation details before finalizing the scope.
Does exterior painting include pressure washing?
Our exterior-painting preparation includes appropriate surface cleaning and pressure washing where suitable for the material and conditions, followed by adequate drying time. The written proposal confirms exact areas and methods.
Does stucco restoration mean the entire home needs new stucco?
Not necessarily. We evaluate the condition and extent of damage. Local repairs, wider restoration, or a specified multi-coat system may be recommended based on the substrate and project goals.
What causes cracks in stucco?
Possible causes include normal shrinkage, temperature changes, moisture intrusion, substrate movement, and settlement. Repair selection depends on assessing the likely cause; filling a moving crack alone may not solve the problem.
How long does stucco restoration take?
Duration varies with weather, surface condition, repair extent, access, and required cure times. We provide a project-specific schedule after inspecting the work.
Can you match my existing stucco texture?
We aim for the closest practical match to the existing finish. Exact matches cannot always be guaranteed, particularly where an old, weathered surface meets a new repair.
Do you work on both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We discuss residential and commercial contracting scopes, project requirements, scheduling, and permitting during the consultation.
What does the customer need to provide before work begins?
Depending on the project, we may need site access, design preferences, HOA requirements, selected finishes, relevant property information, and approvals or signatures described in the contract.
Can I see examples of your work?
Yes. Visit our Gallery. We distinguish documented Imperial Group projects from design illustrations and inspiration images; additional verified project photos can be added as they become available.
What happens after I submit an estimate request?
