That ‘Amazing’ Remodel Bid Could Cost You Thousands More Than Expected
Homeowners seeking design-build contractors are encountering a troubling trend. Some contractors, feeling the pressure of a slower market, are submitting artificially low bids by excluding essential material costs—a practice that can leave homeowners facing deceptively low expenses of $25,000-$30,000 or more.
Thinking About a Home Remodel or Addition?
Before diving into design choices or budget talks, there’s something even more crucial to consider before remodeling or adding on to your home. In this first video from MTD University’s YouTube series, Operations Manager Matt Dagostino draws from 15 years of experience managing hundreds of home transformations, to share what he believes is the single most important factor in your project’s success.
How to Evaluate a General Contractor
To ensure a successful renovation or addition, it is essential to do a thorough evaluation of contractors. Although no contractor can predict structural issues that can’t be seen, a good contractor will know how to avoid many potential pitfalls, financial risks, and facilitate a smoother process.
