What positive things do I look for in a remodeling company? What negative things should I look out for when selecting a remodeling company? Do I want a contractor that will only work with the required building permits and according to the current building codes and regulations? Why do I hear so many horror stories about remodeling? Should I have a budget before I call a contractor and should I tell him what investment I am comfortable with? How do I finance my project? What type of contract should I expect from my contractor? Why should I consider selecting a more recognizable company like D&D and not the lowest price? Should I remodel or should I sell? How concerned should I be about dust and dirt during the remodeling process? How do I go about selecting fixtures, appliances, cabinets and the like? Is our project manager on site every day? Why is remodeling expensive when compared to new construction, for example?
What negative things should I look out for when selecting a remodeling company?
You look for the same warning signs as you would for any suspicious business. You should especially be concerned if the company gives you a quick low price and is in a hurry to start. Any pressure tactics are inappropriate and often a red flag, and if you attempt to perform due diligence on these types of companies, you'll often find there is no company at all. There are far too many competent, experienced, legitimate remodeling companies in the Chicago-land area for anyone to have to fall into the hands of unethical outfits.
