A home-project checklist you can use.

Use this before you contact a contractor or compare a proposal.

  1. Describe the problem in plain language.
  2. Take wide photos and close-ups.
  3. Measure what you can and mark what you are unsure about.
  4. List what must stay functional during work.
  5. Identify the decisions you have already made and the ones you need help making.
  6. Ask what is included, excluded, assumed, and dependent on hidden conditions.
  7. Ask who confirms permits, inspections, or regulated trade work.
  8. Keep proposals, selections, approvals, invoices, and changes together.

A useful next step

Talk through your project

Bring photos, rough dimensions, and the problem you want to solve. If you are still deciding, start with a planning guide.
