Discover 8 Simple Secrets to Enjoying
a Stress-Free Renovation


And save your Sanity, your Time, and your Money

Dear Friend,                                                    

Have you heard them?

The horror stories carefully whispered behind closed and tightly locked doors? Stories that make even the strongest go weak in the knees. The terrors of...

• Contractors absconding with the home owner's hard earned money
  
• Houses ruined instead of renovated
  
• Jobs that just go on and on...
  
• Homes collasping because a bearing wall was moved... "by mistake"
  
• Renovations left ... half finished
  
• Patios sinking away from the home

Why, just the other day an acquaintance sent me this horrifying story… (I'm sure many of you can identify with this)

  "My wife and I just bought a new house. Instead of moving in right away, we decided to do some renovations so that we could really call it "our home"...

  "But then the contractor disappeared with our money, half way through the project. Luckily we paid according to progress of the work. But still, we were left with a half finished house and we had to add more money to get it finished.

  "So we brought in a second contractor. This contractor got the job done. But the floor was not flat, the sink was slanting to one side, the tiles were crooked. Man, a number of things really went really wrong.

  "Oh yeah, in case you are wondering, this contractor vanished to thin air too. I wanted to call them up and get them to fix all these but I couldn't find them anymore…

  "Now we have a house which we seriously need to fix. I can't imagine the heartache it'll be walking into our own home, looking at all of those ugly mistakes."

This Story Could Have Ended Differently

If He'd Known These 8 Simple Secrets...

 ... our friend above wouldn't have found himself listed among the ranks of the "Abused & Misused". If he'd been equipped with this secret weapon he could have saved himself vast amounts of time, money, aggravation, heartache and headache.

Instead he could've had bragging rights --

"With thumbs hooked in his suspenders, head held high, eyes bright, he wowed his listeners with tales of 'his friend, the exceptional contractor'. 

Jaws fell open as they listened to tales of worry-free bathrooms, a stress-free kitchen, the structurally sound skylights - that didn't leak! They gazed at his beautiful home in amazement and envy.

How, how had he managed to do all this without problems? They crowded around him eagerly asking questions..." 

These secret steps are so simple and straightforward that you'll knock yourself in the head and wonder why you didn't think of them yourself.

 But in a world as busy as ours you can't possibly be on top of everything that happens in your life and the lives of your family. You simply don't have the time and energy to know and/or research everything.

So we, at D4 Construction, decided to take all the guess work and research out of the equation for you. Armed with these 8 Simple Secrets you'll ensure that you don't become another "Horror Story" statistic the next time you decide to remodel your home.

So What are These 8 Simple Secrets?!!

Print out this 8 Step Litmus Test and keep it handy for the next time you or a friend plan a remodeling project - it could very well save you from being numbered among the ranks of the "Abused and Misused".

The 8 Step Litmus Test for Hiring a Contractor

1. Reputation

The Contractor's reputation is very important. The company that handles your remodeling project should not only have the necessary experience but they should be able to back it up with a list of happy customers. The ultimate compliment to a remodeling company is repeat and referral clients. This means that they not only do great work, they maintain a high level of service and professionalism.

2. Trustworthy

Make sure you trust your contractor. Are you comfortable with him? What's your gut reaction? Trust your instincts. Call up some of the contractor's former clients and ask a few questions. Were they happy with the work done? Did the contractor follow up on his word? How would they rate the contractor?

3. Knowledgeable

The contractor you choose should be knowledgeable in the art of remodeling - full of imaginative ideas, suggestions and product selections. These, combined with your input, make for a win-win remodeling project.

4. Good Communicator

Does the contractor listen to you when you make suggestions or have ideas? Not just nodding when you speak to him - but really listening and working with you and your ideas or wishes. Can you get in touch with him when you need him? Does he return your calls promptly?

5. Prompt

A contractor's day is busy, but so is yours. Promptness does count. If he's going to be late, the least he can do is take a moment to give you a courtesy call. If he keeps his word at this stage of the game - chances are he'll keep it throughout your project. If he doesn't - you would do well to look elsewhere.

6. Clean

A good contractor will protect your home. Construction can be dusty and dirty. Make sure that your contractor will take the appropriate measures to control dust and protect your property. Ask him what he plans to do to protect your property.

7. The Right Fit

You'll be spending a lot of time with your contractor. It's of utmost importance that you feel comfortable with him, and that you genuinely respect each other. It's even better if you have complimenting personalities.

If you don't get along during those first few meetings it's a good idea to look for a different contractor. Renovating can be stressful enough without adding personality conflicts into the mix.

THIS NEXT SECRET, though an important one, was left till last for a very significant reason – if the contractor you're thinking of using does not fit the above 7 criterion this last one won't make any difference...

8. Written Proposal

Nothing is worse than a disagreement because the terms weren't written down. Make sure the details and job specifications are included. If the contractor refuses to give you anything in writing... RUN... as fast as you can in the other direction.

 ARMED WITH THESE simple but very important criterion you'll have all you need to save yourself from making costly mistakes.

This all Sounds Great But I Just Don't Have Time to Find a Good Contractor...

While it's true that fortified with the Litmus Test for Hiring Contractors you'll be able to safely choose one that will get your job done properly, not everyone has the time to do the necessary leg work needed to check out all 8 criterion. 

That's why we, here at D4 Construction*, decided to do the legwork for you. (* located in beautiful Kamloops, BC, Canada)
