Remodeling - use designer?
Any recommendations on using a designer for kitchen/bath remodel? Have
you had experience with designers? The good ones would surely know a
lot more about available materials and construction options than the
homeowner doing this for the first time.
The incentives seem sorta weird, though, particularly when they charge
a percentage of the project cost and make more money by specifying
more expensive materials. Even with a flat fee for the design, there
will likely be additional cost for construction management services -
and the worse the job they do on the initial design, the more
questions the contractors will have, resulting in more time billed by
the designer.
