No plan before the first call
Call contractors before you know exactly what you're building, and every bid will be based on different assumptions. Figure out the scope first so you're comparing real numbers.

Three places renovations go wrong
Choosing a contractor by price alone
The lowest bid isn't always the best deal. If you don't know what's included, or what's missing, that number doesn't tell you much.
No system for what comes next
Renovation decisions build on each other. Make them in the wrong order, and you can end up changing something you already paid to have done.
A professional designer's playbook. Now available to homeowners.
Cristina DePina is an NCIDQThe National Council for Interior Design Qualification - the gold standard licensing exam for professional interior designers in the U.S. and Canada. Passing it requires a combination of accredited education, supervised work experience, and a rigorous multi-part exam. Designers who hold NCIDQ certification have met the highest professional benchmark in the field. It's the equivalent of passing the bar exam for lawyers.-Certified Interior Designer with 20+ years of experience and 200+ renovations and remodels completed. She built Renoversity because she kept watching homeowners make the same expensive mistakes: mistakes that were entirely preventable with the right information.
