I hear that the big handyman stores like Lowes, Home Depot, etc. now remodel kitchens and bathrooms. What are the differences between your company and these types of stores?

In a word; service. If you know exactly what you want, and can pick it out at that store, and are prepared to stay at home supervising your remodeling project, then the installed sales (I.S. as they are called) department at the big handyman stores might be the way to go. Typically, the quality of installation, and attention to detail is not an I.S. trademark. Neither is custom or out of the ordinary work. A lot of things 'pop up' during a remodeling project. Unforseen damage or conditions are a daily occurance. A remodeling company usually has the people to deal with these 'things' in a timely manner, and keep things moving. A remodeling company has greater flexibility to get the job done. Usually, the big handyman stores do not have the high quality materials that people often are wanting. In fact, manufactures will make lower quality products to sell to the big handyman stores, then those they sell to plumbers and remodelers. An apple is not always an apple when you buy from the big stores. Like most things, there are situations when a big box store might be the right way to go, and there are times when it is best to have a professional handle the COMPLETE job. Every situation is different, but carefully compare estimates from each of these types of companies. Is it an apple to apple comparision? Usually not. Buyer Beware.

What can I, as a homeowner, expect to do while a remodeling project is being done at my house?

The most important thing you can do is ASK QUESTIONS. If there is something that doesnt look right, or you think you ordered one thing, and something else is being installed, ASK!! A contractor wants to know if things are not right immediately. There are no dumb questions, remember, IT'S YOUR MONEY. Remember, there will be dust and dirt in your house. It doesn't matter how careful the contractor is, expect it. Make it easy for the contractor to have access to your house. There will be times when he will have to leave and come back. Give him a key if possible. It will make your life easier to schedule. If you are remodeling a kitchen, eat out a lot. Most kitchen projects take 4-6 weeks. Arrange ahead of time with your contractor to have the refrigerator set up in an alternate location, away from the dust and dirt. If you are remodeling a bathroom, and it is your only bathroom, make arrangements to have the toilet reset each day it is pulled.
