Discover the 8 Simple Secrets to Enjoying
Stress-Free Remodeling Projects

And save your Sanity, your Time, and your Money
Dear
Friend,

Have you heard them?
Remodeling horror stories carefully whispered behind closed and tightly locked
doors?
Home improvements 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 collapsing because a bearing wall was moved... "by mistake"
- Remodeling projects left ... half finished
- Patios sinking away from the home
Why, just the other day an acquaintance sent me this horrifying "home improvements" 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."

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

he'd been equipped with this home remodeling secret weapon he could have saved himself vast amounts of time, money,
aggravation, heartache and headache.

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 these home improvements without any problems? They crowded
around him eagerly asking questions..."

The 8 Step Litmus Test for Hiring a Renovation Contractor

When choosing a renovation contractor for your next
remodeling project use the first one or two meetings to check out how he stacks up against the following 8
criterion, if he doesn't - drop him and go on to the next one. Don't let empty words and promises fool
you.
If he doesn't pass the litmus
test... MOVE ON!
1.
Reputation
The renovation 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 renovation 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 renovation 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 remodeling/building 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 building contractor will protect your
home. Remodeling 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 remodeling/building
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. Remodeling 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 remodeling 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 remodeling 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 Remodeling
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.

D4 Construction) to be very approachable concerning how we wanted the
project to look when finished. He involved
us in the decision-making at all stages.
In all cases the projected cost of
the renovations became the actual cost,
which in this day and age is rare.
I have no hesitation in recommending him
highly."
