How to Avoid a Renovation Horror
a.k.a. Remodel Your Home Without Going Crazy or Broke


created by two general contractors with the cooperation of the RI Contractors Registration Board,
the Cranston and Providence building departments, and the Rhode Island Department of Health

Topics include:

  • How a remodel can help your home’s marketability
  • Acting as your own General Contractor: Pros & Cons
  • Selecting a Contractor (or tradespersons)
  • The contract(s)
  • How to resolve issues that may arise
  • Documenting your wants and needs
  • Drawings
  • Zoning, permits, and inspections
  • What to expect during a renovation
  • How to keep the dust out of your life, literally

A couple hours could save you a lot of time, aggravation and money!

"I've owned property for 43 years... I wish I had known this stuff a long time ago." -- P.H., Cranston
"I've hired contractors in the past;  I guess I was just lucky." -- B.D., Coventry

Everyone has a remodeling horror story – the contractor who never showed up, the one who did then did a lousy job, the missed deadlines, the cost overruns, the wrong color on the wall. Trust us when we say this is not a cable TV 30-minute project.

Your home is your most treasured investment. Let's face it, it’s difficult to sell your home in this market, so you may not be buying a new one either. And bankers aren't lending as freely as they used to.

Renovating is the best way to improve your home and to add more useful living space – a new kitchen for meal preparation and entertaining, a media room to watch the latest movies, or a master bath to soak away the stress of the workweek in your hot tub. But where to begin?!

Come to our informative, valuable and at times entertaining seminar on how to ensure your renovation project is a success. Don't be one of those cocktail party horror stories; come and learn.

Created by Sam Brusco of Brusco Design & Renovation and Joe Cracco of Modern Yankee Builders with the cooperation of the RI Contractors’ Registration & Licensing Board, the Cranston and Providence Building Departments, and the Rhode Island Department of Health
