. A home renovation is often compared to childbirth. Anticipation, excitement, and then the seemingly unending pain of bringing a completed remodel into the world. AppleNews’ Carrol Baker says, “A renovation that runs smoothly, stays within budget, and is completed on time is always a desired outcome.” Then she performs a reality check: things don’t always go according to plan; material availability, weather events, and unforeseen issues that aren’t evident until construction begins can all have an impact on the home renovation. Of course, communication — no, transparency — is key between ALL parties. Contractors need to inform their clients of the realities — what to expect, how long it will take, as well as a breakdown of contractual payments and potential hitches along the way. No surprises. Over-explaining and disclosures are better than none. And the homeowner needs to be open with the contractor about their expectations and what they can afford. Finding the right contractor is often half the battle, so how do you begin to vet them? Source a registered contractor (you can go to your state licensing board’s website to check out their track record) and seek genuine credible references from jobs they’ve completed. Satisfied clients are their biggest advertisements. They do, after all, work for profit while working hard to ensure their clients are happy with their work. Your contractor should be no different. Baker says that the most successful home renovation projects result from excruciating planning and agreement even before that first nail is hammered. She cites a contractor who says when contemplating a home renovation three big questions need to be answered. Reach out for more! AppleNews, TBWS
