Major Mistakes You Should Avoid During a Remodeling Project

A major remodeling project can completely transform your home, making it more functional and beautiful. Unfortunately, mistakes made during this kind of project can be costly. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington, the leading kitchen remodeler in our local area, discusses remodeling mistakes you should avoid.

Hiring the Wrong Contractor

The biggest mistake you need to avoid is hiring the wrong contractor for your project. Don’t just hire the first contractor who submits a bid or the contractor who offers the lowest price. You need to do your research and carefully investigate each prospect. Verify their licensing, insurance and certifications and interview previous customers.

Not Knowing What You Want

If you don’t know what you want, then carefully consider your goals and preferences for your remodeling project. Your remodeling contractor can’t help you if you give them incomplete information. If possible, gather inspirational pictures that capture the features and styles you like and show them to your contractor.

Not Implementing a Payment Schedule

You should always specify a payment schedule in the contract. Periodic payments after the work begins should correspond to completed segments of your project. Consider leaving a significant sum to be paid only when the remodeling job is completed to your satisfaction. This will act as an extra incentive for your contractor.
