Home Design Chat with Nancy

Because we don’t remodel our homes on a yearly basis, knowing what to do and when to do it is overwhelming, but having a knowledgeable and experienced general contractor to run the project is extremely important.  

Tim Larson, owner of La Casa Builders, chatted with Nancy about the sequential steps in remodeling your home and how your project can go smoothly.  A good project manager/general contractor makes the process look simple, but it's not!  Listen to find out what is involved and then decide if you want to tackle your project yourself, or hire an expert.
