Why You Need a General Contractor

Why You Need a General Contractor
Written in collaboration with Laura Houston, Tributary Design & Construction

There are so many considerations when setting out on a home remodel project. What design are you hoping to achieve, how long might it take, who’s going to do the work, and the biggie – how much will it all cost? These questions are all crucial when going down the exciting, yet at-times, nerve-wracking process of a home remodel. But, one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make throughout the process is the selection of a general contractor. Not just any contractor, but the RIGHT contractor for the project, for the homeowner, and for the budget. We had a chance to do an exclusive interview with Laura Houston of Tributary Design & Construction. She’s an expert General Contractor, former architect, and an overall wonderful human. We have a good feeling you’ll love her after meeting her, too. And, she has some great advice when it comes to selecting a general contractor for your next home remodel.
