Working with Spaice contractors does not incur too much cost. We work with the best contractors who are committed to offering you the best house renovations at a pocket-friendly price.
Spaice general contractors charge the same as their competitors in the house renovation sector.
We wholeheartedly endorse using Spaice general contractors since they are fantastic! Your obligation to do so, however, is completely arbitrary.
If you want to alter the structure of a room (by adding a bathroom, turning a bedroom into a kitchen, attaching an add-on facility, etc.), or the exterior of your home (by changing the porch, windows, etc.), you must get a building permit. Check with your municipality to see if you need to apply for permission.
Send written change requests to your general contractor with a copy to your project manager (cc). Before making any adjustments, find out how they will affect the project's budget and timeframe to avoid unpleasant surprises.
We will solicit your opinions on the encounter and make recommendations for enhancements. We consider all comments carefully and will adjust as necessary to offer the best home renovation services in the sector.
After your house renovation project, identify and note down any flaws you find. Send pictures and this list to your general contractor. Before you make your last payment, have a look over the corrections as a group to make sure everything is correct. If you need help, a Spaice project manager is available.
Support Questions
Invoices will be sent to you through email, and you can pay us online with a credit card, pre-authorized debit, or bank transfer. Each contractor has their preferred form of payment. We advise the following payment process:
10% down payment at contract signing;
25% on the first day of house renovation; and, depending on the situation, 45% during the renovation in two installments of, say, 25% and 20%.
20% after the job is finished
he general contractor can buy the things they need and engage staff with the help of a deposit. General contractors rarely consent to advance money for the purchase of materials or the payment of subcontractors, and they avoid financing homeowner projects. However, it's typical for homeowners to defer making the final 20% payment until the project is finished.
Spaice does not provide insurance for contractors or homeowners. We make sure that every contractor using our platform carries general liability insurance with at least $2,000,000 in coverage. Never be afraid to get your contractor's insurance certificate before the work starts. Before your renovation, you should also inquire with your home insurance carrier about any additional coverage that may be needed, especially if your property will be vacant.
In an incident of damage during house renovations, get in touch with your home insurance company to file a claim; they will walk you through the rest of the process.
