A few things to know
Which checklist should I use for a whole-home renovation?
Start with the home renovation checklist for the overall plan. Add the kitchen or bathroom checklist when you need more detail for that room.
What should I compare before hiring a contractor?
Compare written bids against the same scope, materials, timing and payment terms. Check credentials and insurance as appropriate for your location, and clarify how changes will be agreed.
Can I share a renovation checklist?
Share it with the people coordinating the project. Family and Pro support task assignments for team members who have access to that checklist.
