What do we mean by "giving our remodeling clients the insight they deserve?"

After a few decades of remodeling homes and buildings, our experience has led to many insights that we did not understand at first. Even if someone had tried to explain certain issues, it still makes a big difference to repeatedly see the long-term results of high quality work compared to low quality work.

Partnering with remodeling experts vs. just hiring cheap laborers

When you pay many thousands of dollars for a remodeling service, wouldn't you value the full partnership of an experienced remodeler? Partnership means that we are not just working for you, but working with you. Are you aware that the simple reality is that some other contractors may be more interested in getting paid than in earning your highest recommendation?

The classic example: inaccurate estimates of remodeling costs and completion dates

For instance, most people value getting an accurate estimate (from the beginning) that includes the full amount of time and money that you will need to devote to your remodel. You may know that, in general, remodelers are famous for under-estimating the budget and duration of a remodel. There are two main reasons for that:

First, some may simply be attempting to deceive home owners with attractive numbers in order to get hired. (By the way, we know of many cases of intentional under-bidding. For people who are only interested in the cheapest remodeler that they can find, we recommend that you either reconsider or look elsewhere.)

Second, a lot of sincere contractors just do not have enough real-world experience to be able to give an accurate estimate of the costs and duration of your remodeling project. They are making "educated guesses." That is not dishonest, but it is also not the accuracy that so many home owners value.

What do experienced remodelers know that new ones don't?

Keep in mind that this is just one simple example. The most common errors in the actual work performed by inexperienced remodelers is not the issue yet. So far, we are talking only about their typical inaccuracy in their estimates of costs and time.

So, to give a precise estimate of how long a custom project will take, that requires plenty of real-world experience with jobs just like yours, right? Inexperienced contractors can only speculate. The numbers they provide tend to be low... even as low as one half of a realistic number. In contrast, only experienced contractors can make reasonable projections based on past remodeling jobs like yours. They can speak from experience. Contractors who are brand new to the remodeling field obviously cannot speak from experience.

Respect the costs of hiring the wrong remodeling contractor for you

As a quick example, we asked a recent remodeling client about her satisfaction with her remodel (which was the building of a new garage). In the full audio testimonial, you can listen to her delight about the quality of service provided to her. First, here is a short section about the wrong remodeling company. It is a sad story she told about her neighbor:

You have to be careful. They're constantly telling us... seniors [senior citizens] to be worried about scammers.

The gal next door [who had recently invested 80 thousand dollars for the remodeling of her home], she came over here and saw the garage addition that he was building for me and then she said "does he do renovations in the house" [inside] and I said "yeah, I'm talking to him about a kitchen renovation." She said "I wish I had known about him..." cause she got cheated.. Oh, she just took a beating!

If reading that send shivers through you, then you might not want to listen to the actual audio recording. That client was quite emotional about the grief of her neighbor (as well as her own gratitude for the remodelers she used). You can listen to the short section above by clicking here: link.

When you hire a remodeling company, do you just want someone to provide some skilled labor or do you also want the value of our decades of experience?
