Don't Turn Your Home Remodel into
a Disaster
... after all, your home
is probably just the single most expensive thing you own.
Don't hire that gypsy carpenter who knocked
on your door and said he was willing to give you a deal. How do you check
the references of a fellow who lives in a truck?
Don't charge right in! Planning it all out
ahead of time will save time and money. Sound good to you?
Don't try to save money on materials by
buying the cheapest available. How long do you expect your home to
last?
Don't be too stubborn. The contractor speaks
from the voice of experience. Hear what he has to say. He might know what
you want better than you do!
Don't do it in bits & pieces as money
becomes available, rather than financing it or saving for it.
Don't forget to check with your homeowners
association or local authorities. After all, a man's home is his castle -
but you don't need to go to war to make improvements!
Don't be too wildly original. Who says
the kitchen has to be downstairs? Why settle for standard dimensions of walls,
doors, and windows? A professional contractor can tell you whether those
original ideas are going to cost you a little or a lot.
And most of all: Don't forget to hire a Certified Home Contractor. A
Certified Home Contractor is an experienced professional who will try to talk
you out of silly ideas and find a way for you to really get
the home you want. A disaster just won't happen when you hire a
real pro!
