If you\u2019re considering a home renovation<\/a>, you\u2019ve got company. In 2023, 51% of homeowners<\/a> spent $25,000 or more on home renovations, with most of the renovations done on kitchens, bathrooms, heating and cooling systems, and outdoor security.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re planning that bathroom remodel<\/a>, chances are, so is your neighbor Sally down the street. You\u2019re going to want to stay ahead of the competition and make sure your upgrades pass inspection, especially if you\u2019ll be selling the house in the near future<\/a>. Code violations<\/a> can be prohibitive for otherwise interested buyers who can\u2019t get financing on your home before some major (and potentially expensive) changes have been made.<\/p>\n

All this points to the important first step in any big project for your pre-sale projects: assembling your home renovation team to get the job done right. So first, let\u2019s define the different players you might need to call on, and then we\u2019ll go through how to get them lined up for a successful renovation step by step.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s on your renovation dream team?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s meet the members of your home renovation team<\/a>. These are the go-to guys and gals you\u2019ll need to contact so your remodeling project goes off without a hitch.<\/p>\n

General contractor<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re the producer of your home renovation, the general contractor is the director. They coordinate and execute larger home renovation projects, so you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

Not all jobs require a general contractor, but if you\u2019re looking at investing a few thousand dollars or more in a renovation that\u2019s going to need multiple subcontractors, you\u2019re going to want to make sure you\u2019ve got this professional handling the details behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

According to Erin Davis<\/a>, owner and lead designer of Mosaik Design and Remodeling in Portland, Oregon, choosing a contractor based on the lowest price may not be the best benchmark.
