Do you have a vision of what you would like to see on the final stage?

 Many of us are after all inspired by what we see others do and how we can put our own signatures on it, but what if you don't have the skills and knowledge to carry out the projects?

Home improvements must be exciting and challenging. 

Before you contact any specialist you need to have a plan for the project, what is like when is done? Usually a trade person will give you advice on choosing the right materials, colours, designs which it may look a beat better from an experienced eye, also the best cost-effective ways to accomplish the projects, but they cannot read your mind, reason why you have to give your best in explaining your plans.

The best way to avoid any misunderstanding situations is to take photos or keep pictures of what you like.

It might be something that you have seen on a TV show, something you have seen a neighbour do, something you have seen on your friends house when you have the Christmas party or you just seen it on a DIY video.

Cutting out clippings from magazines or printing out pictures you have seen online are a great place to start, you can also create your own board on any of the online platforms.

Have a Budget

Not knowing how much a project will cost is the main reason people don't get started.

In this guide, we break down what to consider and what to ask a tradesperson when contacting them for a more detailed breakdown and quote.

If you're project involves multiple services for example: flooring, painting, fixing a door and a bathroom fitting, contacting a multi trades company like Pro House Restore LTD is the best time and cost-effective option. Hiring a multi trades company can really take the load off your shoulders, finishing your projects quicker, better (because they know the right steps for every process) and with less stress.

​

Contact a Tradesperson

 

Once you have an idea of what project you want to start on and you have set aside your ideal budget, it's time to contact tradespeople for a estimate. The tradesperson will normally arrange a visit, but this can also be done via a video or phone call.

 Having this chat with a tradesperson is a key stage, as they will be able to discuss the job in greater detail and may even have some suggestions based on other projects they have completed in the past.

 

 

Choosing a Tradesperson

 

Once you have your project all planned and you have a couple of quotes from tradespeople, your next stage is choosing which one you will go with. But which one should you choose?

 

Key questions are:

 

• Has the trade got the correct qualifications or experience? 

 

• Has the trade got any references or previous work to show you?

 

• Have you looked online on legit platforms like Checkatrade for their reviews?

 

• Have you checked other details like their LTD company status?

 

• Have you checked the tradesperson’s public liability insurance and that it has not expired?

 

 All that's left to do is agree on the start date and get your home renovation project done.
