5 Questions Every Homeowner Should Ask Before Starting a Remodel

1. What Is My Goal for This Remodel?

Are you remodeling to sell, to improve functionality, or to create your dream space? Your “why” helps shape your “how.” For example, a remodel to increase property value will look different from one designed for long-term living.

💡 Pro Tip: Make a short list of must-haves versus nice-to-haves before your consultation.

2. How Much Will It Cost?

Transparent pricing is key to avoiding surprises. At Stephen Bass Home Repair & Remodeling, we provide free onsite consultations and clear, detailed estimates, often within 24 hours.

💡 Interactive Idea: Start with a ballpark budget. Ask your contractor what adjustments can maximize your return on investment without overspending.

3. Do I Need Permits?

Some projects like structural changes or major electrical work require permits. A licensed contractor will handle this for you.

💡 Pro Tip: Always verify that your contractor is licensed, insured, and bonded. (Stephen Bass: License #1063269 ✅)

💡 Interactive Idea: Ask for a step-by-step project timeline during your initial consultation.

5. What Warranty or Guarantees Do You Offer?

A remodel is an investment you deserve peace of mind. We provide a 5-year warranty on our work to ensure your home looks and functions beautifully for years to come.

💡 Pro Tip: Always ask for warranties in writing and keep them in your home records.
