home renovation experience

We haven’t renovated before. What should a home renovation experience be like?

How do you find peace of mind when renovating your home with a general contractor? With proper due diligence you can hire a contractor that guarantees:

  • Professional cost estimates. Honesty with your budget and explaining how and where your money is being spent.
  • Hyper focussed project management. This keeps your project moving forward efficiently and within the construction contract agreement. Your contractor should excel at communication and management skills.
  • Outstanding quality control and warranty management. Your contractor should set high expectations from the get go and ensure the quality remains consistent throughout the project.
  • Responsive service. Available instantly to respond to questions or concerns. A contractor who is quick to action shows they care.

These are only a few of the deliverables you should get with your general contractor.

Mavish Homes is a home renovation general contracting company that focusses on delivering 5 star quality and 5 star service to every single client of ours. You may only renovate once in your lifetime and doing it right the first time will give you peace of mind.

Can you picture this:

  1. Can you imagine having your entire project planned on paper?
  2. You have solidified your plans and design.
  3. Your scope of work is defined with great detail.
  4. You have made every selection and the cost of every product going into your home.
  5. You will know which trades are going to handle each scope.
  6. You will know exactly how much each service will cost down to every line item.
  7. You will have a defined schedule and you will know exactly how much the project will cost without ever signing or committing to a construction agreement.

Does that sound like total protection to you? Is that the position you would like to be in? Could you imagine doing it any other way?

You have peace of mind during project planning and design, during construction (while your home is ripped apart) and many years after the project is complete. Our 30 day and 6 month check in throughout our 2 year warranty reaffirms our commitment to trustworthy and dedicated 5 star deliverables.

Here are some additional tips to be mindful of:

  • A home renovation experience should ideally be exciting, rewarding, and stress-free. Here are some key elements that can contribute to a positive renovation experience.
  • Clear communication: Good communication between the homeowner and the contractor is essential. Both parties should be clear about their expectations and preferences, and there should be open lines of communication throughout the project.
  • Professionalism: The renovation team should be professional, reliable, and respectful of the homeowner and their property.
  • Planning and organization: A well-planned and organized renovation can help minimize delays, cost overruns, and other unexpected issues.
  • Attention to detail: A good renovation should be of high quality, with attention to detail in every aspect of the project.
  • Flexibility: Renovations can be unpredictable, so it’s important to be flexible and adaptable when unexpected issues arise.
  • Respect for the homeowner’s needs: The renovation team should be sensitive to the needs of the homeowner and work to minimize disruptions to their daily routine.
  • Timeliness: A renovation should be completed within a reasonable timeframe, with the contractor providing regular updates on progress.
  • Cleanliness: The renovation team should work to keep the worksite clean and tidy, minimizing dust and debris and cleaning up at the end of each day.

By ensuring that these elements are in place, a home renovation experience can be a positive and enjoyable one.
