What to consider when remodeling a home?
Each project is different. Getting an accurate set of plans, and selecting your finishes (fixtures, tile, lighting, etc.) as quickly as possible will keep the project moving. These are the two of the most important things to determine the timeframe. In general a new home will take about 9 months, a full home remodel about 3 months, and a kitchen remodel about 6 weeks.
How do I select a General Contractor?
Find one that is recommended by someone you know, word of mouth, or check references. It is also important to like the people with whom you’ll be working. You will spend a lot of time interacting with whomever you choose during the construction process and the process will go a lot smoother if you like, respect, and have a good working relationship.
