When it comes to making improvements to your home, from a simple bathroom remodeling job to putting on a new addition, finding the right remodeling company is key.
Kind of goes without saying, to be sure.
So when you’re considering hiring a company to do work on your home, why consider Remodeling Consultants over all the others?
Here are five reasons to help you make the right choice:
1. Experience
In real estate the mantra is “location, location, location.”
When it comes to hiring someone to work in your home it should be “experience, experience, experience.” Especially if you live in an older home that may or may not be up to code.
Let’s face it, everyone has to start somewhere. But do you really want your next remodeling project to serve as “on the job training” for the guy (or crew) you hired.
Of course not.
With more than 50 years experience Remodeling Consultants can handle any size project you may have in mind. We have completed thousands of renovations over the years, and though it’s cliche to say we’ve pretty much “seen it all.”
So before hiring another company ask about their experience. And be sure to ask how many projects similar to yours that they have completed in the past 2 years.
2. Customer Service
Customer service starts BEFORE a contract gets signed and work begins in your home.
Through each step in the process, whether it’s the first phone call to our office or the final walk-through once the project is done you deserve to be kept in the loop.
At no cost or obligation our design consultant will arrive at the appointed time to discuss and analyze your specific remodeling needs and desires. Based on this conference, design drawings will be prepared, incorporating the ideas and needs you discussed.
Your design consultant will then help you determine the best solutions for you and your home. And through each phase of the project we are on-site and available to discuss your questions, concerns, and timeline.
In other words, we put ourselves at your disposal for the duration of the project.
3. Design and “Out of the Box” Creativity
Why work with a design/build firm?
It’s simple…
You save money because there is seamless communication between the “design” side of the project and those who implement the design and “build” it.
This protects you from having to pay for costly errors and budget overruns.
Plus, by working with a design/build firm you can work with a creative team who can help to articulate the vision you have for your home.
“Alan Lobien’s aesthetic sensibility and good taste guided us through the different iterations, before we settled on our final plan of an addition to the front of our house that gave us a new entry foyer, staircase, walk-in master bedroom closet and 3rd bedroom on the second floor.
The meetings at RC’s office to decide upon all manner of detail gave us an excellent picture of what the project would look like once built. The agreed upon fixed price also gave us confidence that we could move forward and not worry about cost overruns.”
~ An excerpt of a reference letter from Fiorentino Family
You’ll benefit from a team who can envision different solutions within their given specialty. And our creativity department allows us to put all the pieces together before construction begins and provide functional aesthetic options throughout the process.
4. Reliability
What does reliability mean in concrete terms?
- Permits and Approvals
- Quality Control
- Service Department
In every project, we are responsible for preparing applications and obtaining required permits. And when your project is complete we will send your design consultant to your home to inspect the quality of all workmanship. Finally, we warranty that all materials and workmanship will be free of defects for a period of 1 year.
After all, there’s more to a successful remodeling job than simply showing up each day.
You want to make sure that the job is done right and according to code the first time around. By hiring Remodeling Contractors you can be sure that we stand behind each and every renovation project we complete.
5. References
You should always ask for references.
Always.
And any reputable company should be able to provide with a list of people near your area who had similar work done to their home. For example, if you want an addition to your home make sure the references you are contacting had similar work done in terms of size, scope and budget.
Makes sense, right?
Also, here are 10 questions you might to use when contacting references…
- What type of work did you have done in your home?
- How would you describe the quality of the work?
- Was the job completed on time?
- Was the project completed within the established budget?
- Would you say that they were reliable?
- How well did they deal with difficult situations?
- How well did they listen to your concerns and respond to your needs?
- Was there anything you would have preferred done differently?
- Was there anything the contractor did that was especially mindful of your needs?
- Would you use them again?
Do you due diligence, ask around, and when you’re ready…
