Maybe you’d like to remodel a kitchen, finish your basement, or add a bathroom, but feel completely overwhelmed.
Maybe you just don’t have time to deal with contractors or the permit process.
DIY Consulting is here to help homeowners just like you and give you the unbiased, expert advice you need. We will guide you through the initial stages to the completion of your project.
We will teach you how to choose and hire your own subcontractors, obtain proper permits and inspections. We can let you know what aspects of the job are better left to the professionals, and which ones you can do yourself, saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars.
By using DIY Consulting as your Project Manager, you will have a consultant that is on your side throughout the entire process. We will provide the contractor with a detailed scope of work, specification guidelines, and will also perform detailed progress inspections to ensure a quality finished project.
Initial Consultation:
- Two hour meeting in your home
- Review of your project ideas and the feasibility
- Explanation of permits and building codes
- What to DIY and what to subcontract
- Project planning advice: demolition, materials, tools, and answers to your questions
- After the meeting, we will send you a summary of what we discussed including rough estimates of job costs
