So now that you've selected your contractor, uh the piece of advice that I would give is still ask those questions. You know, just because you asked the initial questions to select them, keep your contractor accountable. Make sure that they're staying on schedule, make sure that they give you a timeline for when they expect to finish portions of the job.
If you have an entire remodel, such like we have here, I gave my client his expected timeline. I let him know exactly the phases that we're gonna go through, from when we're painting, from when we're installing floors, when we're doing the demo. He was unaware of how it goes, and he thought that we were going to be installing floors before we paint.
And quite the contrary I let him know exactly the steps that we're gonna go, let him know the timelines of it. Let him know potential delays, after demolition, so that way if there is, unforeseen items, he's already aware of it before we even started the project. So my piece of advice is to continue to ask questions.
Maintain that relationship with that contractor. Don't be afraid to ask those questions, 'cause any honest contractor will be happy to answer those questions. The more you're involved and the more knowledge you have, the better it is for me, and the better it is for any other contractor that you decide to work with.
It's just about being honest. That's what we provide you, is being honest and transparent. So same with selecting me and selecting your contractor, is the same with maintaining that your project goes as planned and as scheduled. So don't be afraid to ask those questions. Ask him exactly your expected timelines, potential errors or the surprises that might- that may come up.
That will help you choose the right contractor, that'll help you maintain your project and keep you satisfied, throughout the entirety of it.
