Maintaining and renovating a home requires a hefty investment of time and money. Even if the result is always worth the effort, here are a few tips to help you live through the process as smoothly as possible.
Preparation—the secret to success
Whether you are filling new needs, repairing damages following a disaster, preparing to sell, expanding, or simply updating your space, they’re all good reasons to renovate. Regardless of project size, being well prepared is critical, according to Marilena Tricarico, renovations expert and spokesperson for RenoAssistance.
Marilena Tricarico says, “Before beginning any work, people need to be well informed so they’ll have realistic expectations of what’s ahead, how long it will take, and what the different steps are.” Being well prepared also allows you to plan how to adapt while the work takes place. To limit inconvenience, if you’re remodelling the kitchen, you could set up a meal preparation space, or a place to wash if you’re renovating the bathroom.
The key to success is clear communication with the contractors doing the renovation. “It’s important to surround yourself with good people and carefully select those you want to work with,” says the expert Marilena Tricarico. “Choose someone with whom you’ll have an open exchange, who’ll make you feel completely at ease.”
Reassuring guidance
There are various services available to support you every step of the way. At RenoAssistance, renovation specialists accompany you during the entire renovation project and act as intermediaries between you and the different companies you will deal with.
“We can take charge of a project from start to finish or get involved at whatever stage.”

RenoAssistance advisors help you identify your needs, establish a budget, analyze quotes received and plan the time necessary to complete the work. You’ll receive continual support to ensure everything goes smoothly.
“We work with companies that have been verified on 53 aspects. We usually ask for three or four quotes for a renovation project, which we then review with our clients. This helps them understand the differences between the estimates, in terms of cost and conditions, and enables them to make an informed decision,” says the renovation expert.
This type of support is also offered when building a new home. “We can start assisting the client as soon as they have their lot! We help them obtain permits according to the municipality, guide them in creating the plan, etc.,” adds Marilena Tricarico.
RenoAssistance also assists clients with maintenance work, such as plumbing, electricity, painting, ceramics, and appliance repairs. Although these jobs are often smaller, they can become very stressful, especially urgent ones. Contact is made quickly with verified professionals, allowing you to tackle your next project with confidence and serenity.
