How we can help you

 Homeowners can struggle with everything from design elements to finishing details.  As a service provider, you can spend considerable time, effort, and money walking them through specifics - or even redoing work that didn’t turn out as they expected.  This is where we can help!!

We are independent Renovation Advisors, which means that we do not receive any commissions or kickbacks from contractors or suppliers. Our goals are to:

• Facilitate effective and efficient communication between service providers and homeowners by helping homeowners ‘ask the right questions’ and understand the ‘idiosyncrasies’ of renovation projects ie., help set expectations for the unexpected. (This can save you considerable time and money, and shorten the duration of a job.)  
• Serve as a ‘knowledge base’ for homeowners to help them understand technical and procedural challenges in the renovation process. (This helps to offload these items from you.)
• Help to provide unbiased sanity checks to homeowners on everything from design plans and material choices, to the little details like placement of lighting, switches, and outlets.  (This helps avoid any “I wish my contractor had suggested this” feelings.)
• Help to remove homeowners’ stress by acting as their ‘partner’ in the renovation process.  (Less homeowner stress is a good thing for everyone!)

I strongly recommend you consider suggesting our services for any prospective customer if, when you are called in for an estimate, the homeowner is:

• Uncertain of what they want,
• Has a number of other players involved,
• Doesn’t really understand the scope of what they are doing,
• Has unrealistic expectations of what you can do for the money, or
• Is picking your brain for ideas.

All of these situations are potential formulas for disaster for any service provider.  What we can do to help is:

• Help the homeowner develop a definitive idea of what they want to do,
• Educate the homeowner why ‘cheapest is rarely best’ when it comes to service providers, 
• Work with the homeowner to come up with a focused scope of work,
• Help on the planning and estimating side to create realistic expectations,

Let your clients pick MY brain for ideas, which I can then summarize and document to you.

As a service provider, you have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain from involving me with your clients and prospective clients.

The first step to seeing how I can help you is to call me (preferred) or text me at (561) 371-9119, or email me at “TheRenoPlanners@gmail.com”.   We all want to work with people we know and trust.  Building that relationship starts with a call.

Best of success!!!! ---Steven Shattow
