In most of the cases the stories were the same. They had a bad home remodeling contractor. The project had major cost over-runs, and took much longer than the contractor said it would.<\/p>\n<p>When I have responded to some of these people and asked them some pointed questions I always heard the same responses.\u00a0Below is a list of my pointed questions, the responses I get from the people, and what they should have done instead to have had a stress free room addition or other home remodeling project.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Did you have a detailed set of plans and specifications for your room addition project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most said they had a set of plans, however, in the majority of the cases the plans were sketches or high level plans that lacked details that clearly spelled out every dimensional aspect and material to be used in the project. This is a huge mistake. Plans need to be meticulously generated in order to know exactly what your room addition or other home remodeling project will look like when completed. The plans also clearly identify the materials to be used in the construction project so that you aren\u2019t surprised when you see the contractor install cheap non-name brand single pane windows when you thought he was installing double pane Anderson windows.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><strong>Did you sign a contract with the contractor for your room addition project and was it a fixed price contract?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Often I heard the person tell me that he\/she did not have a signed contractor with the home building contractor. I also often heard they had a \u201cTime and Materials Contract\u201d with the contractor, instead of a fixed price contract. You should always have a signed contractor with a home remodeling contractor and a \u201cTime and Materials Contract\u201d is a terrible contract to sign. With this type of contract you are setting yourself up to be used and abused.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cTime and Materials Contract\u201d basically allows the contractor to bill you for hours and material costs (plus his markup) as he incurs them.<\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-381 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg\" alt=\"Home Addition Bid Sheets\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Bottom-line, the contractor has no incentive to complete the project, and so as it drags on and on, and you keep paying and paying and paying.<\/p>\n<p>Always sign a fixed price contract when building a room addition or any other home remodeling project. The fixed price contract should include the total cost of the project, as well as cost breakdowns and milestone payments, and include with it a set of detailed plans and a bill of materials to be used on the project. The contract should also include a timeline for completion of the project.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><strong>Did your contract, if you had one, include for contractor allowances?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In many cases the answers were yes to this question, which was the wrong answer. Contractor allowances should be avoided at all costs, including finding a different contractor for the project if necessary. A contractor allowance is money that is allocated to you to choose, for example, the type of carpeting or wood flooring to be installed in your room addition. Contractor allowances are also often used for choosing light fixtures, kitchen appliances, kitchen or bathroom cabinets, and landscaping.<\/p>\n<p>In virtually every response I heard from people that said that they did have contractor allowances in their project, they had a bad experience.<\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-841 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Family_Room_Addition_1-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"How to Accomplish a Stress Free Room Addition Build\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Family_Room_Addition_1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Family_Room_Addition_1.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The typical problems were (1) \u201cthe allowance was so small I had to either buy the cheapest materials to meet the budget allowance or spend more money\u201d, or (2) \u201cI had to use a specific home supplier the contractor required and their products were low quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><strong>Did you get multiple home remodeling contractor bids before signing a contract with one of them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most of the people responded with \u201cno\u201d to this question. They ended up finding a single contractor and didn\u2019t feel motivated to ask any others. Again, this is a huge mistake. You have no other reference point to determine if that one contractor is overcharging you in his quote. Always get 3 or 4 quotes when doing a major home remodeling project or room addition build project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you do reference checks on the contractor before signing a contract?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In many cases the people had not done any reference checks. In some cases they had done just one reference check. Both are wrong answers.<\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/Home_Addition_form_Ad_Small_rev1.jpg') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; height: 190px; width: 275px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Additions.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"float: left; width: 80px; margin: 110px -255px 50px 165px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 91px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 25px; margin-top: 130px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>When considering signing a contract with a home remodeling contractor always check 3 or 4 of his references and contact the Better Business Bureau.
