ONLINE COURSE; Introductory to Remodeling
Before you hire a contractor—or spend $50,000, $75,000 or more—make sure you understand the process you’re stepping into.
Most expensive remodeling mistakes happen before construction ever begins:
• An unrealistic preliminary budget
• Hiring the wrong contractor
• Comparing bids that don’t include the same work
• Making design and material decisions too late
• Starting without a detailed Scope of Work
• Scheduling trades in the wrong order
• Discovering permit requirements after the project is underway
I’ve spent more than 30 years in the residential remodeling business. In my live online class, Introduction to Remodeling for Homeowners, I’ll explain how remodeling really works—and help you prepare before the expensive decisions are made.
During this two-hour class, we’ll cover:
✓ When you need a building permit
✓ How to establish a realistic project budget
✓ How to properly vet contractors
✓ How to compare and break down contractor bids
✓ Design and material selections
✓ How to create a detailed Scope of Work
✓ How to develop an Order of Operations
✓ Common mistakes that lead to delays, disputes and unexpected costs
This is practical, real-world remodeling guidance from someone who has estimated, sold, designed and managed remodeling projects for more than three decades.
