A home renovation, for very little ones, can be dangerous. Be sure to limit access to the work area using child gates. Put away sharp tools and don’t leave any exposed electrical wires dangling within reach. Ask your Contractor to abide by these same precautions, especially on off-hours where there may not be sufficient supervision in the renovation area.

So you want a new kitchen? Try asking a friend, family member or neighbor about the renovation work they have done. They can provide insight and advice regarding challenges they have faced and stuff to avoid. Make sure you ask prospective contractors for references and portfolio of their past work. Call the references. Ask questions about, not only the finished job, but their experience in dealing with the contractor. Having a wealth of information from homeowners can be invaluable in the planning process.
