Dust control, just one of the many details to pay attention to during a renovation

A real successful renovation project involved a lot more than knowledgeable trade experience and workmanship, There are lot of details that indirectly will affect the results of what we would call a successful renovation project.

Trust and respect on both sides of the contractor ( trade people ) and client ( home owner ) relationship will influence results and decide if the final product could be define as a successful renovation project where both sides had a pleasant experience.

A good contractor must recognize the significance that represent for a home owner embarking in a renovation venture and take every necessary step to establish a healthy relationship right from day one.

Once a renovation or building contract is agreed, signed and initial payments fulfilled, the ball is on the contractor side and he should act accordingly, given the client a great deal of consideration and working to consolidate the trust that the home owner has deposit on him at the moment of choosing the right person to execute his project. ( hopefully the client decision was not only based on price, but that is another topic to comment in a different post ).

Trade knowledge and a high workmanship are definitely factors that will make a construction process a good one, but the small details are the ones that make that good solid construction project in a well rounded experience.

There are big differences between new builds projects and renovation projects ( also a good topic for another post )

Renovations projects are a different and harder type of task among all building projects, even more so when you are required to carry out construction tasks in occupied homes where a family is trying to continue their daily routines while the renovation takes place. Only experience contractors with extreme attention to details will be able to transform this stressful scenario into a more satisfying one for everyone involved.

When facing this type of project we ask our clients to previously fill out a form that will provide us with the right information to organize the way we will carry out our work while complying with his preferences as far as logistic, hours, parking, use of bathrooms, materials storage, garbage and debris collection, etc.
