Top 5 FAQ’s When Choosing the Right Company to Re-Design your Home.
Choosing the right contractor for your Home is probably one of the most important ones you will make. You want to ensure you select a contractor who meets your needs and expectations, especially when there is a significant amount of investment involved. After all, this is your home
Here are the top five questions you should keep in mind:
1. FIRST: Have you completed similar projects?
First and foremost – you want to hire a company that has the experience that you need. You want them to know and be prepared for the complexities or unforeseen events that your project has.
Ask them to see similar projects and compare their work to see if it’s similar to something you are envisioning. A good company will have a variety of projects to show you a full scale of what’s possible for your home!
HOT TIP: Look for contractors who show work you are interested in, or specialize in the type of redesign you are looking for! A company that has already completed a project you are in LOVE WITH is a good start.
2. ASK: if they have some references for clients you can talk to.
Get the inside scoop! What did past clients love about working with the company? They will have first-hand experience and can share all the things they experienced while working with that company. Look at their website, and make sure they have some testimonials to refer to.
3. ASK: What do they think the timeline will be?
This is a question that many people also need to lead with. A knowledgeable company will have a better estimate than yourself for how long a project can take, and they will be realistic and helpful about managing expectations, while also making sure the job is done RIGHT.
HOT TIP: Beware of companies or contractors that over-promise. Look for a company that provides a detailed project schedule and makes it known every step of the way what delays or unforeseen circumstances can occur.
4: IMPORTANT: Are they licensed or insured?
Make sure the company you choose is equipped and licensed to handle a project. When it is your home, you need to make sure that your project is executed as safely as possible. See if they are recognized also by local associations or groups that give them credibility.
5. ASK: If they have a process you can review.
This will make your renovation MUCH EASIER to complete. If you know how the process will go, you will be prepared to go through this massive transformation with a step-by-step plan.
The best thing you can do for yourself, and your home – is choose a company that is prepared and has a proper process in place!
