I was recently talking to a friend who had just remodeled a home because the owner wanted to make it more energy efficient. While the homeowner was busy with her job, I wanted to talk about the benefits of getting a professional to do the work.
The biggest benefits are that it saves you money, the homeowner saved the homeowner money, and the homeowner saved the homeowner money. But the biggest benefit of having a contractor do the remodeling is that you feel like the homeowner got out of the house a little better.
The main benefit is that it saves you money, but it’s important to note that there are many benefits to having a contractor do the work, including saving you money. You can save money when you’re hiring a contractor because you can get to know him before the job. You can save money because you can get the job done yourself instead of hiring a contractor to do it. You can save money because you can put your money in a savings account rather than a checking account.
You can also save money because you can pay your contractor in a lump sum instead of monthly. Most contractors will expect you to pay them a fixed amount per month. But if you can pay your contractor in a lump sum, you will avoid having to pay them in monthly installments. With a lump sum payment, you can pay your contractor in a one-time fee rather than a monthly fee.
You can save money because you can get a contractor to do what you don’t want done. A lot of people think that they can get a contractor to do what they don’t want done, only to have to do the unnecessary work themselves. For instance, if you need a bathroom remodel and a contractor says he can do it for $1,000, you can pay the contractor in a lump sum.
If you have a contractor you dont want doing your bathroom remodeling, or they have a bad reputation, this is the time to call them and ask for a refund. It’s not uncommon for contractors to receive a bad review when you call them to ask about a specific job. In this case, just give them a one-time payment to try and make up for the bad review.
Most people who remodel their homes are really just trying to save money. Some people just want a nice little bathroom remodel and they are going to go for it. To me, its a little like buying a car and trying to make sure you willnt get a wreck. I want it to be a nice little car. If you put the money in, it will likely be a nice little car.
While it’s not a bad thing to give a prospective remodeler a second chance, I’ve seen several that I would never choose to hire, especially if they had bad reviews on Yelp or Zillow. I’ve had a few that have not been thrilled with me. Like I said, there are ways to get through to these folks, but just the fact that they are trying to fix a problem doesn’t mean I would hire them.
I can understand how a prospective remodeler can feel this way. However, there are many things I can do to ensure they are satisfied. I can get them to sign a contract saying that they will not contact me for any purpose other than to come by and take measurements. Even though this seems like a big ask, Ive seen a few contractors who were more than happy to have me see their home.
I would advise contacting these people, but it is a big ask. A lot of them have a lot of questions and concerns about their homes, and I would suggest trying to get them to take the time to walk through a couple of the things that are wrong with their homes before hiring them. They may be able to help you if you are not completely comfortable with talking to someone that doesn’t have their own home.
