Getting What You Want in Your Home Project
Billy Gafford is an experienced professional handyman who manages Handyman Connection, a company dedicated to bringing Birmingham-area homeowners the best in handyman and home repair services. In this article, he shares some of the knowledge he has acquired through years of working with clients on various jobs.
From my experience, when most people begin their new home project, they always have a lot of questions and would like to seek a contractor's advice. As a contractor, I think my job is really part artist, part artisan and even a dash of psychologist.
Obviously, you can understand the artistic and artisanal aspects of home contracting more easily than the psychological ones. Anyone who has ever undertaken a home repair job has definitely noted that beginning a project is like starting with a blank canvas. Of course, in this case your home is the canvas, and it takes a bit of imagination, vision and inspiration to conceive how your house will look at the end of the project. So this conceptual stage of the process should be artistic.
However, the actual work done to your home is artisanal instead of artistic. The medium in contracting is not paints, brushes and canvas. Rather, the soon-to-be manipulated materials are your home, construction tools and woods, cement, tile or stone. Using the methods and training of a skilled craftsman, your contractor takes your house and makes it anew. Though art beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the craftsman strives to create something that is objectively attractive. In other words, the contractor who gives your kitchen a makeover wants everyone who steps into it to feel how great it is. Your home isn't a piece of art; it's a functional place that serves a purpose.
Since you understand the artistic and artisanal aspects of contracting, I can get to the most unusual role of my job — playing psychologist. As an artisan and craftsman, the contractor has a unique understanding of your home project. Like we've already discussed, any serious construction project undertaken on your home requires first and foremost imagination. Imagination is an asset, and you're paying for it anytime when you hire a contractor for your home. Unfortunately, many clients often prefer to conceive of every phase of design themselves and let their contractors deal with simply banging the nails. That's where my job gets tricky, and oftentimes, managing people's expectations is the true first phase of construction. A lot of times I've been called in to repair or renovate someone's home, and found that the project was simply revamping some recently completed work that just wasn't done the way the client wanted it.
This is not exclusively the contractor's fault because the client may not have illustrated his vision clearly enough. But usually, the contractor shoulders the blame for not having produced what's been promised. He has thus done a poor job being psychologist. The contractor hasn't anticipated what the client really desires and thus the work hasn't met the client's specifications. Being a contractor psychologist involves understanding what your client truly wants. But more than that, the contractor needs to gauge how realistic the client's wishes are.
A dream house can mean a million things to a million people. That's why it's up to you, the customer, to know how to properly articulate your vision to your contractor. Here are a few tips for doing so:
Ask as many questions as you can. Your contractor isn't a mind reader. Don't spare any of the details. Don't worry about being a nuisance as it's better to be thorough than end up with a less than perfect home.
Clearly illustrate your concepts. If you have the abilities or access to computer programs, draw a plan. Ideas and words can be easily misunderstood, but a detailed drawing really helps hammer the point home.
Try to develop a rapport. Your contractor is a person as well. Just like anyone else in your life, cultivating a relationship will bring you better understanding of each other. The better you know your contractor, the more likely your ideas will be properly understood. Plus, if you and your contractor foster a good working relationship, he'll be a lot more open to changes when he makes a mistake.
Take good advice. If you've chosen the right person, your contractor should be a skilled craftsman. His input is informed by skills and years of experience, so don't hesitate to find out what he thinks and take his good advice. You'll avoid confusion and get a better finished product.
A great contractor always anticipates the client's needs and manages expectations. This always leads to the best work possible. Work together with your contractors and there will be no need to call me in to fix up their work. Remember, the customer is always right, but the contractor knows how to bring you true satisfaction on your home project.
