5 Remodeling Dos and Don'ts

1. Don’t neglect your home. Do maintain and enhance the value of your home with maintenance and remodeling projects.
2. Don’t try complex remodels on your own. Do call a professional remodeler to get the job done right the first time and save yourself time and money.

3. Don’t necessarily hire the cheapest remodeler. Do a thorough check on the remodeler’s experience, references, and qualifications, such as membership with HBA of Raleigh-Wake County Remodelers Council.

4. Don’t lose patience during the remodel. Do prepare yourself for challenges and realistically understand the time and money your remodel may require.

5. Don’t try to remove or deal with lead paint on your own. Do call a professional remodeler or remediator to minimize exposure to lead paint. Read this article on Lead Paint Guidelines!

Lead Info for public

I had an on camera interview today with Laura Barron a reporter from NBC 17 news about the new regulations for lead based paint dust control. I think I managed to cover quite a few issues with the new rule but we'll see how much is actually aired. It is supposed to hit the air waves tomorrow night. I will post the link to their site once it appears. Keep your eyes open if you watch the news.
