Contractor Recommendations

A lot of the contractors I used were either past professionals I had worked with on smaller projects for our home or through qualified referrals.  The single best way to locate a good contractor is through a personal referral.  A personal referral will give you the best insight on someone’s past work and their honest opinion.  If you can’t find a particular contractor in a given trade or even if you can and would like to read more testimony about them, I would highly recommend Angie’s List.

I am an Angie’s List subscriber and can attest for its usefulness.  I personally located my painter and plumber using this service.  The testimonials are pretty candid and you can quickly assess a contractor’s performance on past jobs and read what people had to say in detail about they liked or didn’t like about their work.

Vendor Recommendations

One of the key reasons why were able to save so much money on our home remodel was due to the fact that we shopped for almost all of our finishes online.  Online shopping gave us a couple of advantages overall for our home remodel project:

1. more competitive pricing
2. sales tax savings
3. much wider selection of vendors and manufacturers to choose from
4. eliminate overhead costs purchasing from your contractor or subcontractor
