Homeowner’s in assessing home improvement and repair projects often consider ndertaking a certain percentage of the work or the entire scope of construction.

•
What is the extent of the project?
•
How much time will it take?
•
What is the overall cost?
•
How much can be saved with your own work?
•
Are standard materials required and are they readily available?
Many projects will require the skill of an experienced contractor. The best way to select a contractor is to seek recommendations from neighbors and friends who have completed similar projects. Other sources for referrals include professional contractor associations, building supply companies, and the Better Business
Bureau.
The scale of the project may require architectural services. Design professionals should be chosen utilizing the same formula described in evaluating contractors. Architects, beyond designing, will assist in project management, planning, and the approval and permit process.
The Building Department and Architectural Board of Review (ABR) are here to help guide and assist you in all your endeavors.
