How to Choose a Contractor for Accessible Remodeling

Accessible remodeling involves more than just improving accessibility — it also helps make the house a safer place to live in. This means one has to work with remodelers who know what they’re doing. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Greater Rockwall shares insight on how to choose the right accessible remodeling contractor.

Do Your Research

This piece of advice may be said too often, but nothing gets the best results like a well-researched project. Knowing what to look for in a remodeler can help you save time and effort, while preventing misfires like inadvertently hiring an inexperienced remodeler. There are, of course, essential requirements that shouldn’t be overlooked, like a valid contractor’s license and insurance coverage. Other requirements pertinent to accessible remodeling should likewise be given the same weight, like those set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This requirement alone can help you narrow down your list of candidates.

Communication Is Important

You need to make sure you and your contractor are on the same page during the entire project, considering that accessible remodeling has a longer list of requirements and standards than a typical home remodel. You can assess how a contractor communicates during your first appointment: did they reconfirm their appointment? Were they on time? If they weren’t, did they call ahead or reschedule? Did they answer all your questions during the consultation, or did it feel like they’re just trying to get you to sign the contract? If they seem to be straightforward with their communication, they deserve a place on your shortlist.

Process Designed for Accessibility Remodeling

A remodeler may have a process in place that is specifically designed for accessibility remodeling projects. This is a good thing because it indicates the remodeler has the standards and the experience relevant to such projects. At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Greater Rockwall, our Independence by Design™ is a design-build approach that is driven by client requirements. This means every project is unique and we give each one a just-as-unique approach.
