When you’re ready to make your renovation plans happen, you’re faced with a critical decision: Do you do it yourself, manage it yourself, or hire a design-build firm? If you’re not familiar with the last option, let us explain what they are – and why it could be your best choice.
Design-build firms handle both construction tasks and design for their clients, and it’s an efficient, practical solution for Chicagoland homeowners. Read on to find out how this type of working relationship can make every part of the remodeling process much easier.
Whether it’s your first big home project – or you’re trying something new, like adding floor space – there’s a lot to absorb and learn. It’s not as quick as the DIY shows portray it! However, when you consult with a company like J&J Construction, you’re working with expert guidance from the outset. Have questions? They have answers! From the first consultation, a designer will help you spot problem areas, offer suggestions, and troubleshoot the whole job. When it’s time to kick off the renovation, there’s no need to get the plans to a contractor – the information transfers smoothly in-house. You’ll feel confident, from the outset.
Surprises are usually not the good kind with renovation projects – and they’re budget killers. Taking on the management of various aspects of the work is not for the faint of heart. Most homeowners have enough on their plate, without taking on a whole kitchen remodel. (See what we did, there?)
Without a good workflow and good communication, there’s a lot of opportunity for expensive, time-consuming detours on the way to your new kitchen or bathroom. Design-Build firms can present clients with firm budgets and a guarantee of quality work. (No sneaky changes or cost-cutting needed!) You can relax, knowing that your project will be on-budget.
Speaking of relaxation – remodeling can be a bit of a disruption to daily life. In addition, we all know that life keeps on throwing changes at us: like new babies on the way, or an adult family member moving into your home. Even a need to spend more time working remotely can make homeowners realize that it’s time to make their environment more enjoyable with an updated bathroom or kitchen.
We all love family togetherness – but a bathroom remodel, for example, can make mornings a little tense for a while. Design-Build firms cut the red tape, set the schedule, and will minimize the time they’re in your home. We’ll have you back to normal on time!
Good Design-Build firms are proud of their work, and love to share the results of how keeping it in-house delivers beautiful results. Design inspo is our business! If you’ve seen project spotlights that feature a kitchen, hall or guest bath, powder room, or master bath that you’d love in your own home, go straight to the source!
Companies like J&J can create a customized version for you that will check off every detail you’re dreaming about. We’re masters at creating light, bright spaces, customizing rooms to client’s needs, and solving problems. As a matter of fact, we have a whole portfolio of ideas that you can check out for yourself. Pick a few favorites, give us a call for a free phone consultation, and get ready to experience how our Design-Build firm can deliver S.U.C.C.E.S.S. to your new project!
