Problems arising during a large home remodeling project are almost inevitable, however good the contractor you hire is.Understanding that often those difficulties are quite out of the contractor's hands can be difficult though, especially in the midst of all the chaos that goes along with any major remodeling project.
Take material supplies for instance. A good contractor will order everything he needs but he cannot guarantee that his supplier will deliver them in time.
Neither can a remodeling contractor control the weather, although they truly wish they could; their annual incomes would probably double if they could predict what Mother Nature might do.
Employees really do get sick sometimes and the unexpected can occur that dry rot in the walls that was not discovered until they were demolished for instance.
Blaming your contractor for things that are clearly out of his or her control is a quick and direct path to poor results and a renovation project that is full of hassle, bad feelings and misunderstandings.
That all being said, you have every right to maintain an expectation of the highest standards possible from your renovation contractor. If you have any questions or concerns about the way any particular aspect of the project is progressing voice them right away rather than letting them fester.
Any good contractor's aim is the ultimate satisfaction of their client, especially since so much of their reputation depends on having good references and happy customers who will be happy to recommend their services to others.
