Plan the remodel before the remodel plans you.

The best early decisions are not finish colors. They are scope, priorities, investment, building conditions, and how construction will fit into daily life.

This resource center organizes the practical questions homeowners should understand before requesting proposals or starting work.

Proposal comparison checklist

Compare what is defined, not only what is priced.

A lower number can represent a different scope. These questions help expose the differences before construction.

01
Does the proposal define the rooms, work, materials, assumptions, and exclusions?
02
Who owns selections, ordering, field verification, permits, and specialist coordination?
03
How will concealed conditions and homeowner requested changes be documented?
04
What site protection, access, ventilation, cleanup, and household planning are included?
05
Are allowances clearly identified, and what happens when the actual selection differs?
06
Which payment, schedule, inspection, completion, and closeout milestones are written down?
07
What product information and care instructions will be available at handoff?
08
Can every verbal promise that affects cost, scope, or timing be added to the written agreement?
