Open communication is key to a successful remodeling project, but there are a few things you'll want to avoid sharing:
- Don't reveal your absolute maximum budget: While you should have a realistic budget, revealing your limit gives the contractor less incentive to find cost-saving solutions.
- Don't constantly change your mind: While some flexibility is expected, constant changes can lead to delays, increased costs, and frustration for everyone involved.
- Don't micromanage: Trust your contractor's expertise. While staying informed is essential, excessive micromanaging can hinder their work and create unnecessary tension.
