BUILDINGdetail

A client mentioned that she had a friend who was about to remodel her bathroom. She said her friend had a low budget and was planning on doing the work herself. This client felt the job was too small to bring to me.

As flattering as that is, the first step any homeowner, even a DIY-er, should take is to talk to a design-build professional. I can help walk through the budget and the process of renovation. It’s important to discuss the reasons why a person may or may not want to tackle the project without a professional.

Consider this... I’ve seen a lot. I make it my business to problem-solve. First, I need to understand what a homeowner wants to do and why. Sometimes I can share creative and cost-efficient solutions that have worked for other clients. For instance, if I was working with you, we could talk about working with what you have, helping you decide what makes sense to replace and selecting fixtures that are not only right for you, but right for your home in your neighborhood at this time in the market.

Rarely does a renovation ever go as expected. Having a professional manage the project is important because I can anticipate what’s needed, how to work around surprises and complete the job in a timely manner. Do you really want to let a kitchen or bathroom project linger on for months and months?
