Are you planning a refurbishment in 2022? Maybe you've decided that you'll need a home office now that you work from home full-time. Perhaps you contemplated buying a new home, but due to a lack of inventory and escalating prices, upgrading your current home appears to be the better option.
Whatever your cause may be, rest assured that you are not alone. The renovation business has seen increased demand over the previous few years, and carpentry in Charleston SC, is no exception.
Despite our best efforts to ensure on-time scheduling and turnaround, 2022 has proven to be a challenging year. The high demand for renovation services, labor shortages, and product delays have resulted in overall delays.
VET YOUR CONTRACTOR CAREFULLY
It's a busy time for remodeling businesses! And we know you're eager to get started on your project as soon as possible. Keep an eye out for a contractor ready to start right away.
When contacting potential contractors, inquire about their procedure and timing. When will they be available for the first consultation with you? What is their estimated start date for design? When will they be able to start working on the project?
Because of the current economic climate, many contractors are forced to turn down work. If the bulk of the companies you speak with are booked for the next 8-12 months, but one is ready to begin your job right away, you should hire them.
DISCUSS THE COSTS
It can be challenging to discuss price. It's difficult for us as well! Especially in these times, when materials and product prices are rising across the board. And some of those rises have surpassed all-time highs. An experienced contractor will answer your questions. At Charleston carpentry and remodeling, we're always keeping an eye on price changes, and we've changed our procedures to accommodate the volatility in some of them.
PATIENCE IS REQUIRED
Remodeling is a demanding process by definition. Regardless of how hard the remodeler tries to alleviate your tension, the fact remains that you will have someone in your home for weeks, if not months, upsetting your typical routine.
