Stress Factors During Home Improvement Projects

February 6, 2018 by Tonia Hornsby

Whether you’re installing a new metal roofing system or investing in a gutter replacement, home improvement projects can meaningfully improve the functionality, beauty and value of your home. However, the process of remodeling can sometimes be tedious and stressful. It takes a lot of work to turn the visions you have for your home into reality.

Here’s a look at the common factors that create stress during home improvement projects. Avoid them, and your home improvement experience will be much smoother.

Not Having a Clear Vision

Without a clear vision, your home improvement project could drag on endlessly, sucking time, money and energy away from you. Don’t begin a project until you have a clearly defined goal. Otherwise, you may end up a victim of option paralysis as new ideas pop up as you progress through your project.

Not Setting a Budget

Once you’ve defined your goal, it’s time to set a detailed, realistic budget. Failure to do so will cause you lots of headaches down the road. While you may allow a little leeway for improvisation, sticking to your original budget will keep your expenses from spiraling out of control. Do your research and understand how much everything will cost.

Not Establishing a Timeline

Establish a timeline for the project with clear milestones. Having a sense of urgency gives you more motivation to get things done. Otherwise, you may end up with a long and winding project with no end in sight.

Complete Exteriors did an amazing job. They are super professional, on time, and the quality is top notch. They found things that others had missed and worked with me the whole time. One of key takeaways for me is their service. To have a vendor not only do they job, but also inform and educate you through the whole process is amazing. Damien was on site the entire day during the build, constantly updating and working with his crews. He was even there the next day after the job to ensure all was good to do one last spot check. Even the general manager Eddie came out to ensure all was going right. Another aspect that was awesome is even when I was at work, I was getting a progress report with where they were at with job through today. Even when the materials were delivered, I got an update that showed all the matching lot numbers for every case of tiles. This was in no way a Lowes delivery weeks before the job. This was a managed direct delivery with all matching numbers. I will say, in a world where customer service is becoming less and less, Compete Exteriors is breaking the mold. Again, if you need a roof, give them a call. I feel 100% confident I have a roof for MANY years to come.

Complete Exteriors recently replaced my roof due to hail damage. I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of the job. As proven by the finished product, they had a skilled team performing the roofing ( and wood replacement where needed. ). They even cleaned up the walkways in the attic. Joe, Damien, and Greg all checked in personally throughout the day to ensure the job was going according to my standards. I would definitely recommend them for any restoration or roof work.

I'd like to compliment Josh Wilson with complete exteriors. Josh handled all the handyman issues that needed to be done after the roof was installed. He took care of everything in a prompt and quality maner.

Damien was my roofer and is excellent and very professional. My experience with Holden overseeing this whole project has always been thorough. I’ve never had a problem with this company at all. I highly recommend!

Complete Exteriors has got to be the most organized, thorough, and efficient roofing contractor any where around. From the initial inspection with an insurance adjuster to installation, I never had to repeat myself nor ask the same questions until I got an answer. The left hand knew what the right hand was doing all through the process and I never had to worry about them following through with what we discussed in the planning stage. They handled all the paper work with the insurance company once I filed the claim. I highly recommend Complete Exteriors to service your roofing, gutter, and siding needs!

Great Company and staff. They did a great job with our roof replacement. Damien Pierre kept us aware about everything that was going on. He did a great job managing the process. I was really impressed with that young man.

I'd like to thank the Gutter installers from Complete Exteriors Roofing & Gutters for doing an outstanding install today, totally changed the look on the front of the house, appreciate the advice on going with the copper penny gutter, it has the look of expensive copper install but without the cost or tarnishing over the years. Professional, friendly, and timely, will definitely be looking at other services they offer.
