7 THINGS SMART

Homeowner’s Ask Before Starting a Remodel.

Plan with lifestyle first:
Define your top 2–3 goals upfront (e.g., space, finishes, resale value) to guide all decisions.
Build a full budget:
Include design, permits, finishes, and a buffer for surprises—not just a ballpark number.
Demand clear project management:
Know who’s in charge day-to-day to avoid confusion and delays.
Expect the unexpected:
Ask how the contractor handles surprises like old wiring or hidden damage—clear communication is key.
