A few suggestions to make your renovation go smoothly:

• For an addition or any major structural changes to your home, you should have a set of architectural plans before contacting us for a quote.
• Do some research about how to choose the right contractor. We recommend you get three quotes.
• Decide on as many details as possible for before asking for quotes; a simple drawing, fixture and flooring preferences, etc. The more you can tell us about what you want, the more accurate and complete your quote will be.
• Prepare a budget for your project.
• Consider the disruption level your renovation will create. Will you need to move out? Will you need to put some things in storage? Do you have pets to consider?

We will do our best to make the renovation process from start to finish as hassle free as possible. The more you do to prepare before hand, the easier it will be for you to compare quotes and make an informed decision.
