Knowledge
Contact a remodeling professional that's experienced, licensed and priced within your budget. Talk to the contractor or remodeling professional about the route they're going with this project. Make sure you get a systematic outline of the task. You'll know how far along they are and how much is left. Talk about supplies and should you bring anything. If the task must finish by a certain date for parties and gatherings, tell them. Tell them about specific days they can work and/or time of day if necessary. Ask more questions.
