5 Questions To Ask Your Contractor Before You Begin Remodeling

If you’re on the fence regarding a remodeling project, there must be a reason why.

Maybe it’s because of the total cost of your project, maybe you haven’t found a reliable contractor to work with, or maybe you’re just not entirely sure what you want to remodel and why.

You can ask a contractor several questions to help you in this endeavor. We’ll only discuss the most important 5 ones, but really, you should ask the contractor you’re about to hire anything that comes to your mind.

Let’s see the 5 questions to ask your contractor to get a smooth and stress-free remodel.

#1. How Will The Entire Remodel Go?

After so many years of working with homeowners to bring their vision to life, we now understand that the remodeling process is a big deal for everyone.

It’s only normal to want a stress-free experience with a crew that delivers quality work and leaves the site clean at the end of a work day. It saves you from inhaling lots of dust, stepping on materials, or stumbling over tools.

At MGS Contracting Services, we pride ourselves in offering a complete bathroom, kitchen, or home remodeling service. We take care of everything from top to bottom, so you won’t have to stress over anything.

We’ll even go the extra mile and get the building permits for you, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

We'll schedule the time we start working every day and the time we call it a day
We'll also talk about the payment schedule, and we'll help you choose materials and features
We start working and we'll keep you in full control with certain tools that let you in on everything happening in your home
After the job is finished, you'll get a complete and thorough walkthrough, and regular follow-ups to ensure you're satisfied with everything

#2. Is This Remodeling Project Worth It?

While we don’t know from the get-go the reason you’re remodeling, we can surely tell you that it’s a worthwhile investment. Even if you’re planning to sell the place or live the rest of your life in this home, remodeling a kitchen, bathroom, or the entire home brings immense value – both financial and intrinsic.

After we thoroughly discuss your needs and wants, we can tell you for certain if remodeling the kitchen, for example, is more advantageous than remodeling your master bathroom.

We won’t try to upsell any construction projects, but we’ll be truly honest regarding what your space truly needs. We have your best interests at heart.

#3. How Much Will The Remodeling Project Cost?

This is a tough question to answer without knowing anything about you, your home, and your particular project. Here’s why.

You might be looking for some particular features, and you definitely have different wants and needs from other homeowners. Maybe you want the comfort of a low-maintenance deck, the beauty of full hardwood kitchen cabinets, or the luxury of a large glass walk-in shower. These will greatly impact the cost of your project, but we won't know until we get in touch.
Your home might need more than just a bathtub update. After our thorough inspection, we'll determine what are the most pressing issues with your bath and your home as a whole. We often discover rot, mold, and mildew where there shouldn't be any. Termite or pest damage is also a major issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Your particular project might be completely different than what we've ever worked on. Maybe you'll want to demolish or add new walls, which requires different permits that come with a fee. Or you have an unusually large basement that you want to finish and remodel at the same time. Or maybe you want to transform your kitchen into an open space kitchen without spending a lot of money.

In any case, we’ve got you covered! At MGS, we offer some of the most cost-effective solutions for all remodeling projects that you want to undertake. We’re reasonably priced, and the value we bring to your project is more than worth the cost!

#4. How Long Will My Remodel Take?

Depending on various factors, such as the size of your space, the materials you choose, the schedule we agree on, and others, your remodel can take anywhere from two weeks to a couple of months for a full home remodel.

While we finish most of our projects in two to three weeks, some other jobs take a lot more effort and go beyond this threshold.

We do our best to predict the time it’ll take to finish a renovation project, but sometimes, unexpected issues appear. Here are some of them:

#5. Who's Going To Work In My Home?
