It’s not at all uncommon for poor communication to bring down the experience of a home remodeling project. That’s why it’s important to establish clear and effective communication between yourself and your choice of remodeler from the start. Doing so ensures you’ll always be on the same page, especially during the design phase, when you’ll need to express how you want your updated space to look. The good news is that you can tell if you and your remodeler will be seeing eye to eye as early as the kitchen estimate! 

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Ogden, a premier home remodeling company in the area, shares the essentials here.

Encouraging Communication With Your Remodeler

1. Try to read up on common remodeling terms. This way, you can keep up with what your remodeler is saying. And if there’s a term or process you don’t understand, don’t be afraid to ask them about it. Most remodeling companies will be more than happy to fill you in about the process. A home upgrade is a big investment — keeping mum on things you want to know will not help you make the most of it.
2. Get everything in writing. You’ll want to avoid a “you said they said” scenario as much as possible. This is especially important when you communicate your design vision. The colors you’ve decided to use, the patterns that you want to include, the overall vibe you want your home to evoke — recording all these in a kitchen or bathroom quote helps finalize the details. You and your remodeler will have a guide to refer to when it’s time to turn that vision into reality.
3. Ask for regular updates. Homeowner involvement helps ensure satisfactory results in a remodel. You can determine if something isn’t working for you by checking the progress of the project and seeing the work being done yourself. Maybe that shade of blue didn’t turn out as you expected in the bathroom, or perhaps a different material might work better for your kitchen countertops. Whatever it is, being present for a walkthrough at the job site and telling your remodeler your concerns will go a long way to keeping your project on track.
