Having a plan during home remodel doesn’t always mean there won’t be hiccups along the way. One trait of a good remodeler is that they can roll with the punches.
You might have seen the Houzz article we linked to earlier about how 15 “Uh-oh” remodeling moments got fixed on the fly.
Whether it is a nail from a cabinet puncturing a water pipe, a site that doesn’t allow for large items to transport easily, or an appliance that comes in at the wrong size (or not at all!), any remodeling plan must come with the caveat that problems can arise. It’s the job of the contractor to work around what ever issues come about, and to make lemonade out of lemons.
The easiest way to minimize your remodeling stress is to insist on a contract. One woman in McAllen, Texas is dealing with the fallout from her word-of-mouth contract with a remodeler.
The woman, Veronica Berrones, told KRGV TV she was looking to remodel her bathroom and kitchen, but she says the contractor left her with unfinished work and a big bill. Because the parties did not agree to a contract, both sides are feeling the sting from a bad situation.
Have a good week!
