Tips to Help You Prepare for a Remodeler’s Site Visit

How can you assess if a remodeling company is the right fit for your project, and how do you secure the most accurate estimate for your project? Here’s how to prepare for a renovation site visit with your general contractor.

Details You Need to Prepare Before the Visit

If you want to get the most out of your renovation site visit, then you need to prepare some details before the visit. You should have an anticipated start date and renovation goals in mind. You should talk to your contractor about your must-haves and nice-to-haves. Be specific, and inform your contractor exactly how you plan to use your new space. Sharing this information will help your contractor to make solutions that are tailored to your needs.

You should also inform your contractors about your budget so they can always keep it in mind when discussing remodeling options with you. If you plan to apply for a loan to finance your project, then your contractor will need to know because this can add time to your project. Gather up some inspiration photos so your contractor can get a better understanding of what you want.

Questions to Ask Your Contractor

Renovation site visits tend to last 60 to 90 minutes on average. This gives you an excellent opportunity to interview the experts who will help you complete your project. Ask your contractors about how often they will be on-site and about who will oversee the work on a daily basis. This person will be your primary point of contact with the company. You should also ask your remodeling contractors about how often they meet with their customers to discuss the progress of their projects.
