Delays and Frustration
Be prepared for inconveniences along the way. The disruption of having workmen in and out for weeks or months at a time can not be under-estimated, no matter how talented they are or how patient you might be. We are such creatures of habit and it can be quite an experience to be displaced for any length of time. Permits, inspections, weather, material delays, and improper planning contribute to delays in a project. When hiring a contractor ask for an estimated completion date. Extend the timetable given to include another month or more, depending on the size of the project. You will then be mentally prepared for the inevitable. Unfortunately, remodeling often takes longer than initially expected.
