Our Remodeling Process in Leesburg, FL
Construction work feels a lot less disruptive when you know what is coming next. This page lays out how a remodel or room addition with Construction Unlimited of Lake County moves from the first phone call to the finished room, so homeowners in Leesburg know what to expect before any work starts.
Getting Ready for the First Meeting
You do not need a finished plan to get started. A few things gathered ahead of time do make that first meeting more productive.
Photos of the space as it is today help, especially of the areas you want to change. Rough measurements of the room are useful even if they are approximate. A short list that separates what you must have from what you would like to have makes it easier to set priorities when choices come up later.
It also helps to think about timing. A holiday, a family visit, or a new baby on the way can all affect when work should happen and which rooms need to stay usable.
For room additions in particular, two documents are worth finding early. A boundary survey of your property shows where the lot lines sit, and any homeowners association guidelines spell out what exterior changes are allowed and what approval they need.
Questions to Ask Any Contractor
Hiring someone to work on your house is a big decision, and a few questions apply no matter who you choose.
Florida requires contractors performing structural work to hold a state license, and anyone can check a license through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation at myfloridalicense.com. Ask for a certificate of insurance. Make sure the scope of work, materials, and payment schedule are written into the contract before anything begins.
Florida's Construction Lien Law also means you may receive notices from suppliers or subcontractors during a project. Those notices are a normal part of how the law protects people who furnish labor and materials, and it is reasonable to ask how payments to them are handled.
