Remodeling
Remodeling must begin with a good
contract.
"Remodeling requires a household be disrupted for days
and weeks on end. If the occupants aren't off balance soon
after it starts, they will be by the time it's finished. By
then they are ready to attack at the least provocation. Minor
grievances can become full-blown confrontations."

No matter what type of residential property improvement, the
contract is an Agreement every Homeowner, every property owner,
needs to give very serious consideration to prior to beginning
any type of major property renovation or addition.
There are a lot of remodeling contractors out there. Not all
are experienced or reasonable or fair. The same is true of
contracts.
A remodeling project, no matter how small or extensive, is going
to cause disruption. There will be some stress. There will be
changes and disagreements. It's wise to minimize all of that
at the start.
There are two ways to help minimize problems in the beginning.
- Be sure to select an experienced, professional
Remodeling Contractor. There are many resources available to make
that determination. The Contract is a whole 'nother
story. Little has been said or written about that
…until now.
- Be sure the contract is right. That's the document
that's going to tell you what exactly is going to be done and
how much it's going to cost…and then,
there are the Terms and Conditions (the "fine
print"). That, more than anything else, is what
should make you sleep easier at night.
Some contractors buy their contracts right off the shelf. There
are many ready-made, one-size-fits-all, contracts. The contract
will give you some idea of the experience, professionalism and
thoughtfulness of the contractor.
A contractor who wants to be professional but just
doesn't quite know how may use the family lawyer or an 800
lawyer to prepare a contract. Of course that contract will be all
about protecting the contractor.
Experienced, professional remodeling contractors have been around
long enough to know what needs to be in the contract to cover
every circumstance and minimize problems. Yet even that
contractor may not be considering the consumer.
A real professional, one who expects to continue to
work… takes into consideration not only all
the consumer protection laws but also basic fairness.
There is such a contract. Originally created over 50 years
ago by a nonprofit organization and updated every year since,
this contract has become the professional standard all over the nation.
The chances are extremely high that you will be going back to
that contract sometime during the process. You don't want to
find out then that you've been hoodwinked by some clever, or
simply inexperienced, contractor.
We are going to show you
what the experienced professionals have been taught
and correctly use.
