…AND HOW TO AVOID THEM! (PART 4)
By: Brian Martin
LOVELAND, OH (July 26, 2023) – This is the fourth in a five-part series from Brian Martin and TMC Construction Services,Inc. on Loveland Beacon helping homeowners avoid making critical mistakes on any home remodeling project.
Where to begin?
I find myself in the grocery store quite frequently. Sometimes my wife has asked me to pick something up. Or, it might be because I really like to cook I will go on my own with my ingredient list in-hand. The same scenario plays out each time. Perhaps you can relate. I go to the cart corral and get right to work at trying to pull those carts apart that have been jammed together. Once I find one that I can actually muscle apart, I set to wiping down the grips and get to shopping.
Like I said, it is the same every time; I walk through the automatic sliding doors, gander at my list and glance up to the enormously daunting amount of aisles and activity in front of me. “Where to begin?” One would think you head to the aisle with the first item on your list. I agree, so let’s go there. You know what happens, right? Once there you find your aisle with the spices has been replaced with rows of peanut butter and jelly jars. This recipe does not call for peanut butter and jelly in your chicken fajita dinner plan so the search begins. Yes, I know I could ask an associate however the last one I saw was 15 minutes ago in aisle #3 and they are now long-gone to wherever associates go when you need them.
Once I finally find everything and am satisfied with the assortment in my cart I head to pay for these evasive ingredients. When I get to the check-out lines I always find I have the same two options; 1) stand in a 50 customer line that wraps around the potato chip aisle, (even though there are 75 check-out lines, only one is being monitored), or 2) scan my own items on a machine I have really never-ever been trained to use. This always ends up with me standing there with my hand in the sky like I am back in fifth grade asking how to do the algebra. (Algebra was easier than trying to scan a cucumber on these machines).
Hiring a company to remodel a room in your home should be an enjoyable and stress-free experience. After all, you are making an investment here, right? Unlike my grocery store experiences, you likely do not tackle a remodeling project every week so making all the design and material choices can be stressful! A remodeling company with top-notch craftsmen, or craftswomen, along with someone to assist you in the 650 square foot tile warehouse is very beneficial. – Brian Martin, TMC Construction Services Inc.
Mistake #4–– Not Hiring a Design Team.
“Working without a design team to assist you can be challenging,” says Brian
Without a design team to assist you, it can be challenging walking into a building material showroom on your own. Thousands of samples and many displays in a showroom, sales staff running around here and there and a long counter with people in line looking for help. Who can help you…and where do you start?
Before you sign, ask a lot of questions, seek references, speak with recent homeowners who have used the remodeling company. Remodeling companies that are established and clear of any Better Business Bureau complaints are the remodeling companies that will earn your trust as well.
