Frequently asked questions
Quick, honest answers to what Meridian homeowners ask us most.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Meridian, MS?+
Most kitchen remodels in Meridian, MS run between $18,000 and $55,000, depending on layout changes, cabinet quality, and countertop material. A cosmetic refresh (paint, hardware, counters) starts around $12,000, while a full gut-and-redesign with custom cabinets and an island typically lands between $45,000 and $80,000. We give every homeowner a detailed, line-item quote — no surprises.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. Frank to the Rescue, LLC is a fully licensed and insured residential general contractor in the State of Mississippi. We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage on every job, and we're happy to provide a current certificate of insurance before work begins.
How long does a typical bathroom remodel take?+
A standard bathroom remodel in Meridian takes 2 to 4 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Smaller refreshes (vanity, tile, fixtures) can wrap in 7–10 days, while full master-bath renovations with plumbing changes usually run 4–6 weeks. We give you a written schedule on day one and update you every step.
Do you handle small handyman jobs or only big projects?+
Both. From hanging a door or fixing a leak to building an entire home, we treat every job with the same crew and the same standards. Many of our biggest clients started with a single 'honey-do' call.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — every estimate is free and there's no pressure. Call (601) 934-0884 or fill out our quote form, and we'll come walk the project, listen to what you want, and follow up with a detailed written quote, usually within 3–5 business days.

Do you take on jobs other contractors have turned down?+
That's literally our specialty. The 'rescue' in our name is real — we regularly finish projects that other contractors abandoned, fix shoddy work, and tackle the tough jobs others won't touch. If somebody told you no, call us.
Do I need permits for my renovation?+
Most structural changes, additions, electrical work, plumbing reroutes, and roofing replacements require permits in Lauderdale County and the City of Meridian. We pull every permit your project needs as part of our standard service — you don't lift a finger.

What payment options do you offer?+
