Homeowners get excited about a remodel, and that’s okay. Excitement is good. The fresh, new look of a home can make homeowners fall in love with it all over again. It looks good to potential buyers, too, so everybody’s happy.
Everybody, that is, except the remodeling contractor. He’s had weeks of listening to homeowners who watch too many remodel shows on cable TV. He isn’t Jonathan Scott. This is real life. Here are three things home renovation contractors Des Moines, IA want homeowners to know.
1. Constant Contact
You’re going to be talking to your remodel contractor a dozen times, and some of that will be in one day. There will be no going away until the “reveal.” You’re going to have to answer questions, choose things, and keep choosing until everything comes on the delivery truck.
2. Realistic Timeline
Homeowners should be aware that permits take up to 12 to 16 weeks in some cities. Add to this inspections. If the inspector finds problems, they’ll need fixing. That’s going to take more time. In all, look for your remodel to take upwards of four to six months, if not more.
3. Total Disruption
If homeowners don’t have a basement, home renovation contractors Des Moines IA want them to know they’ll need to make arrangements for storing the old appliances and cabinets. They’ll also need to pack out the kitchen as if for a move. If living elsewhere isn’t feasible, then another room will need to be used in place of what’s being renovated.
