Scheduling a remodeler’s site visit is a crucial first step in your home improvement project. A site visit gives you the opportunity to interview the contractor and have a more thorough discussion about your goals and expectations for the project. It also offers a good chance for the home renovation company to answer any questions you may have and explain their process for full transparency.
In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park shares some tips on how you can prepare for a remodeler’s site visit.
Prepare the Essentials
Be ready with details such as your anticipated start date, budget, renovation goals and inspiration photos. Just as you want your contractor to be honest and upfront, you should also be open and direct about your expectations. This will allow the contractor to manage expectations and give you a realistic perspective on how the project may go.
Make a List of Questions
You probably have many questions regarding the project, the contractor’s process and the costs. Ensure that all your questions are answered by preparing a list. Some of the questions you may want to include are the following:
- Who will be on-site to supervise the project and the workers? Who can I reach out to if I have questions during the project?
- How often do you communicate updates?
- What is your approach during emergency situations?
The answers to these questions will help you further understand your home remodeling contractor and their process.
Establish Rapport
It helps to have a good relationship with your contractor, so try to build trust and rapport with them during the site visit. Communication is the key to this, so try to learn more about the company and workers. Ask about past projects they have worked on, the most challenging jobs and the most enjoyable experiences for them.
Discuss Health & Safety Protocols
It’s important to acknowledge the current pandemic and its impact on remodeling processes. At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, we have made adjustments to ensure the safety of our clients, employees and business partners without compromising the quality of our services.
