The BEST Choice is Design Build

Hello,

I was getting spoiled with all the warm Spring like weather. My lilacs are budding. My fun chickens, "my girls" were happy layers in this warmer winter weather. THEN  it snowed! What is that saying?  We are in "New England"just wait, it may change! Weather can speed up or impede construction dramatically. Working with a seasoned team familiar with these special challenges is important.

This is one of the facts about why construction projects, whether remodeling or new construction is more challenging here. That translates into needing to be much more mindful selecting the type of contractor you award your project to. I have to admit I am biased, since we at Apple Wood Kitchens and Bath, an extension of Apple Wood Construction are Design Build professionals. We know the Design Build approach is the best choice any client can make. Design Build clients suffer much less anxiety or stress. They tend to be more highly satisfied with the results as well as the process beginning to end.

Last week I shared about the better mid level selection of a Mom and Pop Kitchen Bath retailer.
Today I am sharing the perks of stepping up to the Design Build. There can be big differences depending on the knowledge, experience, and business model of a local retail Kitchen and Bath showroom or a Mom and Pop shop. Although some can be very close to the Design Build model, most have critical pieces missing that may slow down progress or require you to track down, find
and supervise subcontractors yourself. You may have some experience and knowledge of the correct terminology and requirements you need to be aware of. However, most likely, you just want the finished project completed as perfectly and timely as possible with no effort on your part.

Let's face it! By the time you have decided the time is right to remodel, you want it to happen as seamlessly as possible in an organized manner. You do not want or need to remember everything. That is why you are looking to hire and contract with a reputable professional that speeds up the process. I think all of us realize the fewer people involved in the process the better. Most homeowners want to trust and rely on who they award the project to.

What does that mean exactly? Well, it can mean the difference between peace of mind and confidence your project will be perfect versus a disaster. Most likely, you are a working professional and parent with a busy work, home, and extra curricular activities. The last thing you need to add is managing a remodeling project. Finding licensed capable contractors is a challenge. However, finding and hiring sub contractors can be quite daunting. Managing your project effectively coordinating numerous categories of the same is extremely stressful. It is also a recipe for disaster and extra expense if you do not understand and have experience the need for different steps in the process being consecutive. One process creates the foundation for the next step.

Here is the best choice! Here comes your Super Man, the Apple Wood Design Build professional!
You will feel most comfortable communicating your dream to us. Ask yourself as you shop around,  Do they "get" it? Do they "get " me? Are they listening to my ideas, questions, and concerns? Do they have happy customers who refer them? Do the local town officials; inspectors, building and planning department employees, permit departments consider the firm professional and honest in their building practices? We at Apple Wood take pride that the feedback we receive is positive from all the above areas mentioned.

As our Project Manager professional pulls together our contracting team, you can rest from having to find, contact, schedule, meet up with and supervise any sub needed on your project.  "Being one stop, soup to nuts " means we are the only call you need to make. You call Lisa, Lenny, or Cynthia at Apple Wood and we take it from there.

We hire the best, work with only experienced and insured contractors and craftsmen who have been background checked. Your home, family, pets, and belongings are safe. What I just mentioned is key! Some homeowners have suffered loss, not considering this seriously. That truth may create an unpleasant to damaging result. Hind sight is 2020. Bad and expensive complications can be avoided when your due diligence has been active to find, compare, and confidently award your project to. Paying attention to what former clients say about their integrity, character, knowledge, and respect while remodeling your home is the best test.

Come see us! Bring your ideas for your dream project! We will jump right in to make your dream a reality with excitement and less stress. We love to listen, understand and pull together the best team possible to accomplish the project as expected and promised on budget and on time as promised. You will be like all of our clients. They tend to do multiple projects with us and send their family and friends too. We look forward to meeting you soon!
