NYC Home Improvement Tips

Tips & Suggestion for Your Home Improvement Project

1. Identify Goals – Before you begin, think about the goals you want to achieve. Is stellar design the driving force? Improved functionality? Resale? Perhaps you’re looking for energy savings? Or maybe it’s a combination of all these elements?
2. Get the Vision – Give yourself the creative space to envision what you want. Take a walk through one of our showrooms and get inspired by the different materials and displays.
3. Know the Process – Before you hire a renovation or remodeling company, ask them about their process and how they approach projects.
4. Check References – Check references and make sure the remodeling or renovation company you’re considering is reliable, stable and professional.
5. Start by Planning – The more time you spend planning, the easier the process is. It’s much more efficient to follow a plan than to work ad hoc.
6. Know Your Budget – Develop a budget range for yourself that will help you make decisions when you are choosing materials and appliances.
7. Choose a Point Person – A renovation project has many moving parts so make sure that you have a Project Manager who will be dedicated to the project from beginning to end.
8. Communicate Clearly – Communication is an important part of a successful renovation project. Ask a lot of questions and work with a company that you trust to give you the answers.
9. Secure Warranties – Ask your contractor if they have a warranty for their work and make sure you get all the warranty information for the manufacturers.
10. Enjoy the Process – While a major renovation project can be disruptive, it doesn’t have to be stressful. When you have the right company, you’ll enjoy the process and revel in the results.
