Remodeling a home is a big undertaking. It involves a lot of crucial decision making and time. Therefore, it is important to figure out what you can do, as a homeowner, to avoid making the task more difficult for your Gainesville remodeling company. Whether you need a large renovation or you only want to change one room, Quality DesignWorks is available to assist you.

  1. Don’t Work Without a Contingency Fund

    There is rarely a remodeling project that does not result in some extra expense. Therefore, it is best to set aside extra money when determining your budget in order to ensure you will have enough money to complete the project. It is also important to prohibit yourself from taking money from this fund to increase your budget because you may not end up with enough money.

  2. Don’t Wait to Make Decisions

    There are many decisions that will need to be made while you are remodeling your home. Our team at Quality DesignWorks can present you with most of the choices you will have before the work begins. If you take a long time to make selections, you can negatively delay the process.

  3. Don’t Keep Changing Your Mind

    At Quality DesignWorks, our goal is to make sure your home is exactly the way you want it. Most likely, you will want to change your mind at some point which is understandable. The problem arises when it keeps happening. Every time you make a change, not only will you need to pay for the extra labor and time spent discussing the alteration, but it may also cause delays or require workers to be rescheduled.

  4. Don’t Work Without a Clear Design

    In order for our team to provide you with helpful home remodeling ideas, we will need to know the style you are attempting to create. Without a clear direction, we will not be able to be as effective.

  5. Don’t Ignore the Factors of Your Current Home

    Before you begin making decisions about your home renovation, it is important to live in it for a while. For example, if have an older house, it may not be the proper style to contain a modern style kitchen and you may end up asking for much more work than necessary.

  6. Don’t Live in the Home

    It is helpful to live elsewhere while your home is being worked on so you will not be disturbed by workers or be forced to live in areas that may be temporarily unstable. Most homeowners ignore this rule to save money. If you do, attempt to stay elsewhere for at least a portion of the project or determine a separate place you can go when you are overwhelmed by the half-way done construction site.

  7. Don’t Let Kids Get in the Way

    Though you may need to have your children or pets with you while you are at the site, it is important to keep them out of the way. Our home remodeling team will attempt to watch out for them, but construction sites can be dangerous and it will make the process much longer if we are compensating for your children.

  8. Don’t Buy Your Own Materials

    You may be tempted to buy your own materials in order to get a discount. While our builders do charge a service fee, we are able to get better deals on the equipment so you will end up spending the same amount. When you let Quality DesignWorks collect materials, you will also be able to trust the quality of the materials much more.

  9. Don’t Be a Distraction

    Try to limit the amount of time you spend talking to our design team while we are working. We always want to hear valuable information that will impact our process, but excessive conversations will only slow the process down further and cost you more money.

  10. Don’t Try to Fix What Can’t Be Fixed

    Sometimes, as Gainesville remodelers, we will find a house that cannot be repaired and it will need to be taken down. If this occurs, which does happen rarely, you will be wasting money if you attempt to make repairs on a home that will be more cost effective to tear down and rebuild. It is best to trust our experience.
