You have decided to remodel your home, selected a
contractor and are ready to begin your project.
Here is a list of things to discuss with your contractor to make sure
that you are in agreement and that expectations are set and realistic.
- · What are the terms of your contract? How quickly do I have to pay my final invoice?
- · How long will the project take? What is the schedule? What types of things may cause time lines to be delayed?
- · How will workers access my home and what hours will they be working?
- · Do I have to secure my pets?
- · Can I live in my house during the process? Will there be strong smells or loud noises that make it difficult to stay?
- · How much will demolition and construction disrupt my home? What are your clean up procedures and do you clean up the site every day?
- · If changes are made during the process, how will the changes and related costs be documented?
- · What types of things do I need to know about the products that I have selected to be installed? Are there maintenance or care instructions? What are the warranties?
- · Who do I communicate problems or concerns to and what is the best way to communicate? Text? Phone? Email?
- · Ask about certificates of insurance and licensing.
