Check out our practical and inspiring tips and tricks to design your very own backyard lounge area.

Following a few late snowstorms, spring (finally!) seems to be knocking at our doors. For a lot of us, the arrival of warmer weather almost always means setting up our deck, patio, balcony, or whatever outdoor space we may have. Whether you just recently moved into a new home or have been living in the same house for years, spring means enjoying the outdoors. Hence your outdoor space automatically turns into an extension of your home, making for a second living room or lounge area.

<h3>Looking for a general contractor?</h3>

Do you have any big renovation projects in mind to revamp your property? To make your dreams come true, you should do business with a general contractor in our network!

<h4>Did you know? </h4>

The range of works that a general contractor can handle is rather broad:

<ul>
	<li>Kitchen renovation;</li>
	<li>Bathroom renovation;</li>
	<li>Electrical work ;</li>
	<li>Basement layout.</li>
</ul>

<h3>How to find the right contractor?</h3>

It is only natural to be anxious about choosing a contractor: a renovation project is always expensive and a poorly executed project will end up costing a lot of money and causing serious headaches. Follow our recommendations to avoid making the wrong choice:

<ul>
	<li>Ask your loved ones for advice, their recommendations and references will be given with full knowledge of the facts;</li>
	<li>Be patient and keep in mind that the first-comer will not necessarily be the best candidate;</li>
	<li>Get at least three quotes;</li>
	<li>You have to meet the contractor in person, this will allow you to ask him more questions and probe their knowledge about home renovation;</li>
</ul>

Does this feel too complicated for you? If you use the <a href="https://renoquotes.com/en/">RenoQuotes.com</a> platform, we will take care of this for you, while allowing you to find the best contractors to carry out your project.

Simply fill out the form and that's it! Your project will be sent to a maximum of 4 contractors among which you will certainly find the one that is best suited to meet your needs.

<h3>Why should you do business with a general contractor?</h3>

Since a large renovation project often involves collecting knowledge across several trades, doing business with a general contractor is essential. Not only will they be able to perform many of the tasks that need to be done, but they will also be able to hire trusted subcontractors for the tasks that they cannot perform.

Otherwise, you will have to find a specialized contractor for each of the tasks involved in your project! As you already know, the list of telephone numbers will be just as long as the hours spent meeting potential candidates and calculating all costs related to the work ...

Would you like to know more about the skills of a general contractor, the recommendations to follow to hire one and the reasons for hiring them for your renovation project? Check out our articles on the subject:
