About McDowell Inc.

Who Should you Hire to Work on Your Home?

 

Times have changed; our resources are limited; everything is on sale, yet costs are increasing; all homes need regular maintenance and updates, and you would even like to remodel the existing space we have, but home values have decreased; how do you know what to do?

Our belief is to follow the basics that we have always known:

You get what you pay for, and when you go with Quality, you never go wrong.

 

Getting Started…

Remodeling and maintaining your home has become even more important, with the changes in our economy.  To ensure a good experience, and quality results, take the time to choose a remodeler who understands your needs, speaks your language and respects your lifestyle.  There are many companies and independent carpenters who seek your business, but your home is too important to entrust to anyone.

 

Before you meet with a Remodeler… 

  • Develop a clear idea of what you want to remodel, or what needs maintenance, make
  • a list of priorities. 
  • Look at magazines and collect pictures of your likes and dislikes.
  • Think about your family's lifestyle, traffic patterns, how you will use the remodeled space. 
  • Discuss how much you will be able to invest in your home, or this project. 

 

What to look for in a Professional Remodeler…                          

When you hire a remodeler, you are buying a service rather than a product.  The quality of the remodeler's service will show the quality of the finished product and your satisfaction with it.

If you are interviewing more than one remodeler, make a decision based on professionalism and communication skills, not price.

 

A professional remodeler will:

  • Save you money and headaches by doing your project RIGHT the first time.
  • Offer multiple ideas and design services while creating budgets and pricing so that the project doesn't become unaffordable and unattainable.
  • Understand the importance of easy, effective and two-way communication.
  • Maintain a safe and clean jobsite to prevent damage to your home or injury to your family.
  • Provide the best possible materials within your budget.
  • Follow all applicable building codes and regulations.
  • Carry all necessary insurance for your piece of mind and all those working on or in your home.
  • Guarantee the quality of the work with a warranty.
  • Respond promptly to service calls and inquiries.
