Can Facebook Wreck Your Remodel?
YES!
Let's say you want a new kitchen. And now you need to choose a remodeler.
How do you start? Who do you call? What do you ask? It's overwhelming.
And these days most people simply turn to Facebook and ask 50 of their closest strangers: "who should I use?"
PROJECT WRECKED!
Would you let someone else pick the house you live in or the car you drive?
Of course not! They have no idea what your needs or your budget are!
"Never let anyone else choose your remodeler for you."
Randomly choosing a contractor using Facebook user recommendations (or those of other recommendation sites) is a huge gamble. People think of it as an Easy-Button solution -- but it's just lazy.
“There is no easy-button solution when remodeling.”
Nobody else but you knows what you need and want from your project. Only you can define what a successful project "looks like" to you.
So, before you ask 3000 of your closest friends for recommendations, you need to determine:
- What specific needs must your project meet?
- What is the point or goal of your project? (why are you doing it?)
- What amount would you spend to achieve your goal?
Once you have clear answers to these 3 questions, you are free to find and interview qualified remodelers that can help you achieve results that meet your needs and leave you smiling. You will be able to determine if the proposed design will be a success.
Also, after preparing yourself, it won't matter if prospective contractor names come from Facebook, from Google, from Angie, or from someone down the street. Because your preparation effectively defines for you and your remodeling team what your project must accomplish.
