Renovating a kitchen or bath can be a strenuous process requiring ample commitment from you and the renovation company. From poor communication to disorganization to numerous delays, there’s no lack of issues that can arise during a remodel. From our experience remodeling for over 40 years, we’ve discovered four essentials that make a significant difference in your remodeling experience.
1. Proactive Communication
Proactive communication from project managers is critical to a seamless renovation process. Most companies in the remodeling industry don’t take the time to develop a communication plan tailored to your needs. This inattention results in delays and disruptive processes. It’s crucial to notify you of any unexpected changes in scheduling or construction, proactively address your questions and concerns, and check in regularly to discuss project processes.
2. Accurate Estimates and Meticulous Planning
Inaccurate cost estimates and poor project planning leaves you feeling rattled and overwhelmed. From our experience in the remodeling industry, three critical milestones must be met before developing a formal proposal and cost estimate. 1) An in-person visit to the home to take measurements of the space. 2) An introduction to an extensive list of premium materials for clients to choose from. 3) A finalized design layout. These three steps are crucial to creating an accurate timeline, precise cost estimate, and thorough proposal. Finally, the project construction and completion timeline should be developed after all chosen materials have arrived. This way, you won’t be left wondering about construction delays.
3. Organized Job Site and Daily Cleanup
Construction within the home is often a disruptive process that many remodeling companies fail to address from the outset. To ensure a peaceful home environment, it’s essential to create and maintain an organized job site. This method protects the sanctity and balance of the home. Methodical and organized construction techniques, alongside daily cleanup routines, reduce construction dust and minimize disruptions in the home.
4. Dedicated Employees
Many remodeling companies bring to the job site numerous sub-contractors or contingent employees to work on a renovation. From our research, we found that a team of select designers and craftsmen employed by the remodeling company makes you more comfortable during the design and construction processes. Additionally, working with familiar faces builds enduring relationships between customers and companies.
