Home Remodels

Finding a quality contractor can be tough. Home remodels can add value to your property and improve the living experience for you and any future buyers. But a bad general contractor can also create headaches and lose you money if they aren't able to meet the required expectation.

The best way to find a good contractor for home sales or any other renovation project is to check their references. Any good GC will have a list of past clients who will vouch for their work. You can obtain these references by asking the contractor directly, or by checking websites like Home Advisor that publish online reviews.

Next, you should interview several candidates to find one with the requisite experience. Home remodels can vary in terms of scope and the level of work needed to achieve the desired result. So, it's important to find a candidate who is up to the task.

Finally, when you've found a candidate, it's important to create a construction schedule, along with periodic milestones that must be achieved by a certain time. This will help ensure that you are both on the same page and that the necessary work is being completed on schedule. You can draft this schedule along with your contractor, plus you may want to have it reviewed by a broker or other real estate professional to ensure it makes sense.

Half the battle of renovating or selling a home is finding trustworthy professionals who can help you with the process. If you have any additional questions about home sales or remodels, give us a call at Solid Rock Property Ventures.
