Do you love remodeling jobs as much as I do?
I love the imagination and creativity that goes into taking something run down and turning it into something amazing.
A lot of designers enjoy remodeling jobs, but they don’t know how to make them profitable. That stems from not knowing how to handle and position yourself with the contractor, so in this episode, I’m covering the mistakes designers make when working with contractors to help you avoid them next time!
If you’re making some of these mistakes, it’s not your fault! No one ever taught you about this, so how would you have known? Now you’ll be armed with the information you need and be in a better position than ever.
