Cost
Estimates $$$
Many publishers and “study groups” have
invested heavily in producing statistics on the cost of remodeling
and the big question of “Cost Recovery” and “Return on Remodeling
Investment”. As you analyze the figures, which vary by state and
city, you will notice that it all depends on whose figures are being
used. If we were to read the figures from surveys of remodelers
doing major work with higher than normal price ranges for fantasy
projects beyond what the market can bear, then you, as a consumer,
may never receive the return on investment you expect. On the other
hand, your return on investment is almost always rewarded if you
contract professional remodelers to do reasonable projects adopting
reasonable pricing policies.
Decision time
Make sure when it is time to select
your builder/remodeler that you look for:
— Integrity of the company principals as this may
be tested at times.
— Experience and testimonials
from happy customers.
— Professional designations
and the continuing education that comes with them are signs of commitment
to improve and stay current with the latest in products and techniques.
— Reasonable prices are your
assurance of getting the fair return on your remodeling investment.
