So, the next time you’re considering a remodeling job, follow these seven tips from the pros:

  1. Designer-certified: Decide if you’re going to be the designer. Come up with a design you love and then see if you need an architect to help make it happen. If you don’t want to employ an architect, only work with a remodeling contractor that you are on very good working terms with.
  2. Feasibility: Meet with the contractors and discuss your materials and desires. Most importantly, get your detailed contracting schedule, payments, and project completion dates.
  3. Schedule a meeting: Hold a meeting with the main players in your redesign scheme. Architect, foreman and construction company owner should all be invited. Discuss your ground rules, go over the plans, take them on a tour of your house, and decide who will be your person of contact. Schedule a weekly update time upon which you will check in with this person to discuss logistics and how things are progressing.
  4. Clear the area: Plan a time to clear all your belongings from the area that will be renovated, and decide how it’s going to be sealed off from the rest of the house. If you’re doing a kitchen remodeling, you may have to set up a mini-kitchen, or hire a camper for a couple of days.
  5. Demolition: Leave it to the crew to demolish your old area. Check that they are not letting debris into the rest of the house.
  6. Construction: Watch your plans come to life by following every stage of the process with a detailed plan from your contractor. You should know precisely what they are doing every day, and you should be mentally checking off their progress as you go along.
  7. Final tours: Before you say farewell, take two tours around the house with your contractor. Take the first one just before the construction crews move out, and then again immediately after. For the first tour, itemize any details that need to be finished, and if you notice any mistakes be sure to get them corrected. For your final inspection, go about the same tour with your contractor and confirm that everything is to your satisfaction.
