I’m finally ready to tackle some upgrades around my house, and I’ve started reaching out to different companies to get a quote for renovation. I’m mainly looking at updating my kitchen and giving my basement a complete makeover. This is my first time managing a bigger home improvement project, so I want to make sure I choose a contractor who’s reliable and easy to work with.
I’ve noticed some companies are very quick to respond and provide detailed breakdowns, while others give short estimates without much explanation. For me, transparency and communication are just as important as the actual workmanship. I also value when a contractor can guide me on design choices and help avoid unnecessary expenses.
If you’ve gone through a similar process, I’d love to hear your thoughts. How many quotes did you request before making a decision? Did you find that the lowest price was always the best choice, or did quality outweigh cost? What red flags should I look for when reviewing renovation proposals?
