Most people carry out a renovation project either to make their house look more beautiful and feel more comfortable, or fix what has been damaged over a period of time. The key to beautifully renovating your home on a budget is to plan the entire process efficiently. One way of not erring during a reno project is getting professionals to help you complete it.

If you’re considering remodeling your home or a part of your home, AIMG Inc. has formulated a Beginner’s Guide to hiring a contractor for a renovation project. By following this guide, homeowners will have a better understanding of how to employ the right company to complete their renovation project.

Getting Started

Do your research: Before you sign those papers, do a little research. Create a list of possible contractors to work with and narrow the list down based on your findings. As a future client, you need to check on your prospective contractor’s past projects. Ask them for referrals and look up reviews about them online.

Put thought into your choice: While it’s essential to have a budget, don’t shop for a contractor based strictly on price or the promise of a quick turnaround. Doing so could result in shoddy work and an unplanned escalation of costs.

Next Steps

Hire a professional: Hiring a professional will ensure everything is done correctly and most efficiently and cost-effectively. However, you should feel comfortable working with the professional you select, if not keep searching.

Have a plan of action: Work with the contractor to determine the scope of work, allocate a budget, and a sufficient time to complete the project. Ensure that communication lines are always clear and open.

Draw up an agreement: Make sure you obtain a written agreement that includes all terms and conditions, including the scope of work, price, and payment schedule as well as project milestones.

Advice From The Pros

Do not alter the plan: While there may be a few last minute changes that are enforced for unforeseeable reasons, try not to make significant changes after the renovation is started. Any modifications added to the plan will increase costs and duration of the project. If any changes have to be made, before they are carried out, confirm how they will affect your prices and timeline.
