What Does a Remodeling Contractor Do For You?
When you hire a remodeling contractor, you have hired a general contractor who has a specialty in remodeling. Adding a new room to your house? Redoing your basement and turning it into a recreation room for the kids? That is the kind of contractor you want to hire. They have the specialized skills and knowledge gained over years of training and practical application that you are looking for.
Your Vision and Your Budget
A good contractor will be able to bring what you see in your mind to life in three dimensional forms in the shape of your finished room, but a great contractor will also keep you within your budget. You need to keep in mind though that not everything is possible and compromise can be a needed component of any job. Your final budget needs to take into consideration things like the size of the space you want to remodel, any structural changes you are asking for, the products you choose to use and how old you home is can have a great deal to do with everything. Older homes can pose more structural problems when a remodeling project starts.
Choosing the Right Remodeler for You
When you start looking for a remodeling contractor, one of your best places to look for recommendations is friends and family members. You can also branch out and check with your local realtors and see who they work with. It is always best to try and find a local company. First, their references can be easily checked into, and secondly, you might even be able to get a look at some of their prior work. Once you have narrowed your choices down to two or three companies ask them to provide copies of their licenses and insurance certificates. Talk to your local Better business Bureau and see if they have many complaints against them and how are they ranked with them.
A Better Working Relationship
- Ask your remodeling contractor, prior to work beginning, how this work can be expected to disrupt your life.
- Have your contractor always do a hard copy change order if the project specs need to be modified in any way. Both of you need to sign these.
- You need to maintain a file with all documentation pertaining to the project: the contract and any amendments, specs and plans, correspondence, bills and change orders.
