In our last blog, we talked about preparing for your kitchen remodel. The first three steps are about your ideas, goals, and budget. Once you have that information, you can take the next two crucial steps, finding a kitchen remodeling company in VA and getting ready to meet with your professional remodeling crew.
Step 4: Decide Who Is Going to Handle Your Remodel
Kitchen and bath remodeling companies offer a range of services, so how will you choose? You want to find a company that can manage your project from design to completion. You’ll save time and stress by hiring the right residential remodeler. Get referrals from friends and family. Check with your Better Business Bureau to get information about local remodelers. Read reviews. Ask your realtor or other sources that regularly work or interact with remodeling companies.
Step 5: Prepare to Meet with a Professional Contractor
Once you have a shortlist of contractors you want to compare, you’ll want to meet with each one to decide whether you can work together. Everything you’ve compiled about your kitchen remodel, your goals, budget, and dreams, you’ll need ready on hand now! You should also think about:
- Your timeline—a desired start and completion date.
- Expectations about the project – will you be able to live in your home during the remodel? What time of day does work start and end? What is the company’s process if there are delays?
- Any questions you want to ask about your project.
- Does the company use in-house employees or all subcontractors?
- Is the company properly licensed and fully-insured including worker’s compensation insurance?
- How does the company handle payment schedules?
- How long has the company been in business?
- Do they screen/vet their employees or subcontractors?
As you make appointments to discuss your kitchen remodel, you’ll have more information about whether the company can undertake your project and if you want to work with them. You need to find a company that is transparent and upfront with you. You should evaluate their communication style and consider how their team makes you feel. You’ll be working with them for many weeks while they’re in your home. Do you feel comfortable having this crew in and out of your home?
