Almost without exception, each homeowner that Design Build Pros meets with has either had a bad, past remodeling experience or knows someone personally that has. The seven most common remodeling project complaints that DBP hears begin with:

• “The project took way too long...”
• “My house and yard were a mess...”
• “Too many surprises, extra costs...”
• “I couldn’t communicate with the workers…”
• “They would not call me back...”
• “No project schedule...”
• “I had to manage the project myself…”

Do any of these sound familiar? Have you had an unpleasant remodeling experience? If so, please share with Design Build Pros. DBP will be chronicling such experiences to help other homeowners avoid and improve their home improvement result. CONTACT DBP Adding to the problems, families often argue among themselves when remodeling projects turn bad. When the family is together, the contractor is not around, so therefore they turn on each other to express their displeasure and frustrations. Such problems can often be avoided by utilizing a better pre-construction process. Design Build Pros unique design and development process addresses these issues and much more.
