Questions About Working With Contractors
Do I Need Specialized Contractors for Different Home Additions?
Our two home additions will be very different--adding a new master bathroom, and creating a covered patio with BBQ, water feature, and wet bar all set into a natural stone wall. Do we need bids from two kinds of contractors?
For My Home Addition, May I Work Alongside My Contractor?
My planned home addition will bump out two exterior walls of an unused bedroom in my Utica, NY, home. I'm pretty handy with tools and would enjoy working hands-on with the licensed contractor I hire (deferring to his greater experience.) Is that possible?
The Typical Timeline for a Kitchen Remodel Project
We'd like to update our kitchen--the cabinets and flooring are over twenty years old. We'd like to plan our kitchen remodel so that it has the least impact on our lives. Can you explain the stages of the process and about how long the project will take?
Knowing Which Kitchen Remodeling Contractor to Hire
I'm planning a kitchen remodeling project over the winter months. I've heard horror stories about homeowners hiring the wrong remodeling contractor--so many that's it's a source of tension. Is there any advice you can give us about evaluating a potential remodeling contractor before we give him our business?
Getting Started with House Additions
With our third child on the way, we really need more room but can't afford to upgrade to a larger home. I feel completely intimidated by the idea of adding on to our home. Where do I start when thinking about possible house additions?
How to Convert a Covered Patio Into a Sunroom
I have an existing covered patio, but my wife has decided she would prefer a sunroom. Are there any sunroom designs that would make it possible to incorporate the existing redwood patio cover into a sunroom? If not, how would I go about designing a conversion?
Insurance Requirements During Remodels
I heard that you should require that your contractor carry general liability insurance during your remodels. We have comprehensive home insurance and I wonder if that's enough. If not, what do I ask the contractor and what proof should I look at to make sure?
How to Choose a House Painting Contractor?
The exterior of my house needs painting and I know I can't do the work myself. However, my neighbors recently got burned by a painting contractor who did shoddy work and refused to fix the problems. How can I be sure I'm choosing a reliable contractor so this doesn't happen to me?
