Renovate Smarter: Partner With Your General Contractor

A strong renovation starts before construction. Homeowners and their general contractor need a shared understanding of the priorities, the practical constraints and the decisions that will shape the work.

In this article, Neal explains why early collaboration matters. Clear priorities help the project team compare options, make useful trade-offs and keep later decisions tied to the homeowner's goals. Regular, direct communication also gives both sides a better way to address questions as the plan develops.
