Take A Few Minutes Learning How to Hire a
Professional Remodeling Contractor
OR
Spend the Next 10 Years Wishing You Had
Most property owners and homeowners only take on a remodeling project every 7 to 10 years or more and many don’t know what questions to ask to evaluate a remodeling contractor.
Construction methods and materials have all changed dramatically in the last 10 years. There are many new products (especially green products) that require new knowledge to apply properly.
If You Only Ask “What Will It Cost”?
You are very likely to end up with a project that begins to fall apart almost immediately due to inferior materials and installation methods that are haphazard. Please check out “What Happens when You Go Low Bid” so you can avoid becoming another home remodeling horror story.
Require that every remodeling contractor visit your home and conduct a thorough review of your needs. It is impossible to provide an accurate estimate over the phone without visiting your property. Remodeling contractors that provide “ballpark” estimates should be avoided.
At Sunny House we will meet with you in person to review your ideas, plans and to answer questions and make recommendations. Once we have gathered all of the necessary information and taken all required measurements we will prepare a detailed quote for your review
We have detailed planning tools and installation processes that we use to ensure that your project will look good and last. We will be pleased to review these with you at our first appointment.
Estimates that are written on the back of a business card are worthless – because all you know is the price. It is far more important to know the specific steps that will be performed for the price quoted.
Along with the price, request a detailed step-by-step process to complete your installation from every remodeling contractor you meet. This will make it easy to make an apples-to-apples comparison of specifically what you are getting for the price quoted.
Many remodeling contractors are reluctant to put the details in writing or use sweeping generalizations like “we will trim the entire room” or “the highest quality materials will be used” should be avoided. These are phrases that leave too much room for interpretation AND they allow the unscrupulous contractor to make more money at your expense.
Then you are likely to hear – “We’re sorry, that wasn’t included in the proposal – it will be $XX more.”
Unfortunately, when you hear that – it is too late and the unscrupulous contractor knows it will cost you more to fire them and hire someone else – you’re stuck.
We provide all of our customers a detailed step-by-step process for the project quoted and we back it up with a price guarantee for the work specified.
If you aren’t sure what you are getting – we will take the time to explain our steps so you can make the best decision possible.
We will be happy to provide you with a complete copy of our consumer guide and step-by-step installation processes prior to our first meeting.
