You know the drill. It's spring and that means nature is
doing the renewal thing. Time to get your own sense of new with a remodeling
project!
While it is a chore to find remodeling contractors to
upgrade your home, it's worth it. How worth it?
Home prices climb with each remodel, and trends
indicate we're hitting home values similar to the year 2005.
The two places that add the most value when upgraded
are kitchens and
bathrooms. These areas are high traffic and defined by utility. Other rooms
get used in more passive ways.
Speaking of passive, there is nothing passive about finding
a contractor. Check out these ideas on how to find the home remodeling
contractors that will deliver your perfect vision.
Before you launch into a renovation project, you need a
contractor.
Finding the right team for the job doesn't have to be an
arduous task. Keep in mind what you want and find someone that has the skills
and will to match you.
Start by compiling a list of remodeling companies that
people in your circles have used. Check with family, friends, and neighbors
about their experiences.
These first-hand accounts provide insight into the quality
of the work, the amount of time it took, and the ability to live around the
construction schedule.
Consider what you know about the decision-making process of
those providing recommendations. This is your starting point, not the end of the journey, and
you want to apply your own knowledge and criteria before the end.
To whittle down your list of possible house contractors,
start with a thorough look into their credentials.
The best contractors know how to do
the work and also like to prove it. Certification
and licensing ensure the quality of outcome.
Not only that, but they ensure safety and industry best
practices. This way, you know that your remodel has the latest skills put into
it.
These certifications also provide a safety net for you in
regard to insurance coverage and warranties, which are always important in case something
needs later attention.
Technical aspects of the craft aren't everything. You want
the work to be done well and to be guaranteed but you also want aesthetic.
Check out the portfolios of candidate home renovation
companies to find something that fits you.
Portfolios can also be a good place to see new ideas for
further projects. Don't get too distracted by that.
Portfolios are also a good place to see the versatility of
the work a contractor offers. You want someone flexible enough to create your
vision and not force you to compromise to the one thing they prefer to do.
Finally, you want to collect bids for the project. The
contractor you choose should work inside your budget and have the resources to
offer alternatives.
You may need to adjust down in some places and up in others
to get everything. A robust itemized bid shows the depth of knowledge the
contractor brings to their field.
