Define Scope and Budget
Decide what you want to achieve: a single room refresh, a full bathroom or kitchen remodel, or a larger whole-house project. Research rough costs and set a budget that includes a contingency for unknowns. Prioritize must-haves vs. nice-to-haves so you can adjust if estimates come in higher than expected.
Timing and Permits
Popular contractors book up; reaching out in winter for spring or summer work often gives you a better chance at your preferred timeline. If your project needs permits, factor in application and review time. In Rhode Island, your contractor can handle permit pulls and inspections. Confirm that from the start.
