Homeowner Consulting

Home improvement can be a big investment.

Most homeowners aren't expected to know everything about roofing, foundations, electrical work, remodeling, HVAC, plumbing, or all the other things that can come up around a house.

That's okay.

You don't need to become a contractor to make a good decision about your home.

The Guild can help you make sense of the project before you commit.

What Can We Help With?

Planning a Project

You know you need to do something, but you're not sure where to begin.

We can help you think through the project, what may be involved, what questions to ask, and what should happen next.

Reviewing an Estimate

Already have a contractor's estimate?

We can help you look at the scope of work, materials, pricing, and anything that may deserve another question.

We're not there to automatically tell you the contractor is wrong.

We're there to help you understand what you're being asked to pay for.

Getting a Second Opinion

Something doesn't sound right?

Maybe you've been told you need a major repair. Maybe two contractors gave you completely different answers.

Getting another perspective can help you make a more informed decision.

Choosing a Contractor

Not sure who to hire?

We can help you understand what to look for and what questions to ask.

And when appropriate, we can connect you with professionals through the Guild's contractor network.

Something Already Went Wrong

The project has started and things aren't going the way you expected.

We can help you step back, understand the situation, and figure out what questions or next steps make sense.

You Don't Have to Have Everything Figured Out

You can come to us with a plan, an estimate, a problem, or simply a bunch of questions.

That's enough to get started.

Tell us what's going on and we'll help you figure out the next step.
