All you have to do is drive down a couple of streets in
Athens to see house after house having some sort of work being done to them.
I’m in the industry and I’m still astounded at how many new construction and
remodeling projects are going on. It’s no secret that good contractors and
tradespeople are busy these days. A recent Harvard study shows that the size of
the remodeling industry in 2015 has reached pre-recession peak levels from
2007.
Have you tried calling a contractor to get a project done
and they either won’t return your phone call, or can’t get to your project for
8 months, or take a couple days returning your call or email? How in the world
can you get something done without losing your mind-or your cool? Maybe you
just want a single room painted, or you need a new front door, or a new dining
room light fixture installed, a small exterior repair done or maybe you have a
whole house remodel project you want to have done. Today we will explore a
couple of tips and tricks for getting a project done, no matter how large or
small.
First, recognize you are not their only client. I know, this
is hard. I mean, you are paying them after all! There are many people, just
like you, who have been in the contractors queue a long time before you. If you
want to work with quality people, you may have to wait a little while.
We will explore several more tips in the coming weeks. But
in the meantime, are you in the middle of a project or just beginning to think
about doing a project? Do you have any advice or questions? Email me at
