Adding on to your home or doing major
renovation, even minor
renovation requires thought, planning, research, diligence and patience. |

Thinking about remodeling could include
why you want to remodel and
how much it might cost. |
|
|
|
So there you are,
off to think about who you could ask about value, and where your neighborhood is heading so
that you don't over build. |
Planning
to remodel makes great family time together, discussing what family members see and
want; gathering pictures, making drawings and getting everyone's input.

Talking
to professionals
might mean consulting with an architect or a design and build firm.
Talking to your friends and neighbors might reveal names of people they
have employed for their own remodeling needs. Talking to the Better
Business Bureau may help you avoid problems. Interviewing contractors
should involve a reference and a credit check. The contract may be better
written by an attorney or certainly reviewed by one.

An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure. |
