It Is Important to Get the Right Home Remodeling Design Team
David Pinsley is the Vice President and Senior Designer/Sales Executive for First Rate Renovations, Inc.in San Leandro, California, serving the Oakland area in particular. According to him, if you are contemplating a home remodeling project, the success of the job could hinge on getting the right design team. Here, Pinsley talks about how finding the right team can be so crucial to the entire project, whether it's a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or an entire home renovation.
In my experience, the main secret to a good kitchen or bathroom design is to deal with the homeowner as you yourself would expect to be treated and vice versa. For this reason, it is important to find the right person for the job from the very beginning making sure that you are starting out the whole project on the right foot.
How to Find the Right Company
As a homeowner, you should take the time to interview and select the company who you feel will give you the best design. Now while that may not always be an easy process, it's never worth rushing the job to get it done or hiring the first person you come into contact with because it's easier. Instead, you need to go out there and find that person who best suits your needs.
If you hire the right company, then you're likely to find yourself completely satisfied with the outcome. To accomplish this, you'll need to utilize whatever resource material is necessary to find that person, whether it is a friend, a contractor's association, or maybe even some photograph from a magazine. You need to have a clear, concise idea of what you want to the best of your ability, or at least know what you do not want.
Once you have found someone who seems to fit the bill, you will need to take a look at some of the jobs that contractor has completed meaning, you should physically look at some of the projects this designer has done. Only then will you be in the position to decide that you want that designer to work on your home.
Why to Hire a Design/Build Team
It's a good idea to hire a design/build company. At First Rate Renovations, Inc., we are a designer as well as a builder. When you come to our company, you get a design. We also implement the design by doing the work. The benefit of this is that the cost to you as a consumer is significantly less because we are not going to charge you for just the design. We are going to charge you for the total project, and the design will be included as part of that.
For example, just a kitchen design alone can be anywhere from $1,000 to 10,000 or even $15,000. Whereas with a design/build team, we include the design as part of the entire service that we offer our clients. It's all inclusive and therefore will cost the client less.
Another big advantage to hiring a design/build team is that if there is a problem or a flaw in the design, there is nobody to blame but us the design/build team who came up with the design in the first place and now is implementing it. Nobody can point the finger and say: Your designer made a mistake, sorry we cannot build it and now it will cost you money. You get the advantage of dealing with a one-stop shop, where we take responsibility for the entire project from start to finish.
