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.
