		<description><![CDATA[<span id="firstletter">T</span>he very first thing you should do when you start thinking about a remodeling or renovation project is to come up with a budget.  I implore you to resist the urge to pick up the phone and call sixteen different contractors for estimates and use whatever responses you get to form a budget number.  It is in everyone's best interest for you to do your homework first.  By wisely determining a preliminary budget you will be able to screen contractors on the phone and schedule fewer visits, saving you a lot of time and aggravation, while wildly increasing the odds of a thrilling remodeling experience.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<span id="firstletter">H</span>ow do you go about selecting a remodeling company that is going to make you happy?

Unfortunately most consumers have no idea, and most remodeling companies can't tell you either.

It's a problem that every business wrestles with: "How do we make sure that the people our product or service fits with understand that our product or service is perfect for them?"
