Renovation Revelation: Behind the Build, Episode 4

One of the most critical decisions you'll face during your renovation is choosing the right builder. This choice isn't just about picking the cheapest option; it's about investing in the best team you can afford. Your dream home deserves it!

See Their Work

Always check a builder's past projects in person. Seeing their work firsthand provides insights that a glowing review simply can't match. If their previous renovations look impressive, you're likely on the right track. If they don’t meet your standards, keep looking—your home deserves better!

Collaboration is Key

If you're working with a designer—like me—it's crucial that builders understand they'll need to collaborate. While some may prefer a straightforward job, a solid team will welcome the designer's involvement. This partnership often leads to smoother execution and better results.

Get Consistent Quotes

Here’s a pro tip: when requesting quotes, provide each builder with the same specifications. This ensures you're comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges.

Conclusion

Choosing the right builder is essential for setting your renovation up for success. By being thorough in your selection, communicating clearly, and fostering collaboration, you'll be on the right path to achieving the home you've envisioned.
