1) Write everything down: it’s hard to keep track of what you wanted where if you don't have a reference for your decisions written down. Plus you can easily share this with your contractor.
2) Know what happens if your plans change: Go through your quote and understand what the process is, if a change order becomes necessary and how it affects your bottom line.
3) Ask our professionals for advice and options: Your contractor can help you with options to help keep to your budget without compromising on your vision. We are experts in the products we use and know what materials you can pay less for and which materials are worth every penny.
4) Be realistic in your timeline: If you have a big party hinging on the completion of your project be upfront with your contractor so they can be more accurate in their completion date and head off delays for any unforeseen circumstances like bad weather or back ordered products.
5) Don’t be afraid to ask questions: If you are unsure of a term your contractor used, its best to ask. We want you to be completely happy with our work and if you aren’t sure of what were building for you it’s essential that we clear it up to stay on the same page. We don’t want you to be surprised.
