Depending on the scope of your home remodeling project, there will likely be choices, you as the homeowner, needs to select when it comes to the finish materials, such as: Moldings, Paint Color, Door Styles, Tiles, Flooring, etc. By doing the research ahead of time and organizing all the styles you like, so they can be sourced and purchased ahead of time, it will significantly reduce extra time spent on your project waiting for materials to be available or delivered, cutting down extra costs overall.
The remodeling process in broken down into 3 stages: First, is the Design Phase, Second, the Construction Phase, and third, the Post-construction phase. The Design Phase includes the initial meeting, design development, construction documents, permits, and finalizing contract. The Construction phase includes the project/site meetings, releasing payments, project start, finalizing any changes if necessary, completing work-scope. The Post-Construction Phase includes the final walk-through, city inspections if required, completing any punch list items and final clean-up, and releasing final payments.

When you’re doing a project that involves any plumbing work, electrical work, or structural work, you absolutely must get a permit. Permits are usually NOT required for cosmetic work, such as: painting, plastering, flooring, etc. For more information visit our NYC Filing Process page.
It is common when homeowners are upgrading their home, excitement takes over, and when you come across a slightly more appealing tile or fixture, you find yourself opting to upgrade, settling on the more expensive product. Unfortunately, these costs add up, and it easy to fall short of keeping record on just how much you are exceeding your budget. It is important to manage and organize all these added costs and when choosing to upgrade an item consider replacing another item with something less expensive to offset the added costs ensuring you stay within budget. Another significant point is to avoid accepting a bid from a contractor that isn’t clear. Usually what happens in these situations is that certain items or associated fees are left out, and down the line when it comes up, you find yourself with costs that you were never aware about and didn’t calculate in to the other decisions you made up until then.
