How to Build Good Rapport With Your Remodeler

A successful client/remodeler relationship is based on trust and other factors. By discussing and clarifying difficulties before they arise, a successful partnership can also help avert conflicts. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno shares ideas on how to develop a positive working relationship with your contractor.

1. Pay attention. The two-way nature of communication demands that you not only provide your contractor with information, but also actively listen to their response. Make it clear that you’re interested in their opinion on how the project is progressing and what you can do to assist. You’ll gain their trust by taking the time to listen and showing them that you appreciate their input.

2. Trust them. Remodelers should only be hired if you have confidence in them. If you hire them, put your faith in their ability to complete tasks correctly and efficiently. Don’t interfere with their work and make the project take longer than it should.

3. Be honest. Establishing a productive working relationship requires openness on both sides. When it comes to getting a bathroom or kitchen estimate or getting input on a specific design idea, having a remodeling contractor on your side can be helpful. However, you should never discount the value of a second opinion.

4. Be readily available. If you want your contractors to communicate with you, provide them with the essential resources. Your contractors should know who to contact if they have a question and who to contact in an emergency. Above all, make sure you pick up the phone or respond to your emails. Frustrations might easily arise if you do not make yourself available.
