Regrets. We've all had a few. While regrets are all too common in our day-to-day lives, you definitely don't want to have any regrets in your next remodeling project, home addition, or your new custom-built home. Why? Because those regrets are far too costly both in terms of financial impact and the price of living with a poor choice for years to come.
As qualified professional contractors with more than three decades of experience, we've heard from countless satisfied customers who have done things the correct way.
Sadly, we've also had to correct the things that someone else didn't do, did incorrectly, or shouldn't have done.
Since we can't help everyone in person - as much as we would like to - we wrote Remodeling and New Construction with no Regrets to guide you through some of the most critical decisions you'll make as you begin to think about, plan for and live through your new home construction or remodeling process.
In these pages you'll find some of the biggest mistakes we've seen homeowners make over the years - from hiring the wrong firm to not planning for the home they actually need, to fundamental financial miscalculations that can sabotage a project.
It is our hope that you will learn from these experiences and use them to systematically eliminate the chance of regrets cropping up in your project.
