Frequently Asked Questions

  • We focus on custom homes, whole-home renovations, major additions, and historic home renovations. Our projects typically involve significant planning, coordination, and craftsmanship rather than small handyman-style work.

  • We concentrate on larger, comprehensive projects so we can give each client the attention and oversight they deserve. For smaller repairs or minor updates, we’re happy to recommend other local professionals who may be a better fit.

  • We primarily serve homeowners in Huntsville and surrounding North Alabama communities. Project location, scope, and schedule all factor into whether we’re the right fit.

  • The earlier, the better. Reaching out during the planning or design phase allows us to provide budgeting guidance, scheduling insight, and construction input before drawings are finalized. Many of our projects are booked a few months in advance.

  • Most of our projects use a cost-plus model with a clearly defined builder fee. This allows for transparency and flexibility while maintaining detailed oversight of quality, schedule, and budget. Every project is different, and we walk clients through the numbers carefully before construction begins.

  • Yes. Early budgeting is an important part of our process. We help align your vision, priorities, and investment level so design decisions stay grounded in realistic construction costs.

  • While we are not an architectural firm, we collaborate closely with architects, designers, and engineers. If you don’t already have a design team, we can help connect you with trusted professionals suited to your project.

  • Timelines vary based on size and complexity. Custom homes often take 8–12+ months of construction, while major renovations may range from several months to over a year. We provide a projected schedule once scope and plans are defined.

  • Clear communication is a priority. Clients receive regular updates, progress photos, and schedule information throughout the project. We believe an informed client is a confident client.

  • For whole-home or major structural renovations, temporary relocation is often recommended for safety and efficiency. For smaller phased projects, we can discuss options depending on scope and layout.

  • Renovations — especially in historic homes — can reveal hidden conditions. When that happens, we communicate clearly, present options, and discuss cost and schedule impacts before moving forward

  • Yes. Moonshot Construction is a licensed Alabama home builder and carries appropriate insurance coverage for the type and scale of projects we perform.

  • We take on a limited number of projects each year so we can provide a high level of planning, oversight, and communication. Our focus is not just on the finished product, but on delivering a professional, well-managed building experience from start to finish.

  • The first step is a conversation. Tell us about your goals, timeline, and general investment range, and we’ll help determine whether we’re the right fit for your project.
