As the leading painting and home improvement contractor in Yorktown, Virginia we talk with thousands of customers each year about different painting and home improvement projects of all sizes.  The most common challenge we have when discussing projects and getting them approved are scheduling and budget with budget being the largest concern.  If you have a project you want to get started here are a few tips to help save you money on your next painting or home improvement project!!

• For interior work book the project in October or warm months and let the contractor complete the work in colder months
• For exterior work book the project and ask the contractor if they can complete the work that is convenient for them to get a discount
• Demo and disposal. If you have the muscle and a little bit of skill you can handle 100% of the demo and disposal and save $$$
• Clear scope of work from day 1. An unclear scope adds to the cost and risk for the contractor. 
• Multi project discounts. Instead of having one or two small jobs you would want to combine it into a larger project

These are a few tips to help save you money on your next contracting project.
