Choosing to renovate a kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom can be an exciting decision to take, but does involve a lot of work, and you may require the help of a professional to help complete the project. Choosing the right general contractor will mean that you will be able to renovate your home space to adequately represent the aesthetic you wish to have, and will improve that space, making it more comfortable and more efficient.  Renovating a home space is always a good idea; this is because renovating a space can increase the value of your home on the property market, if you ever choose to sell your home in the future.

The first thing is to familiarize yourself with your project, and draw a plan of how you want the space to look. Make sure you familiarize yourself with certain aspects of the project, which will help guide you and your home contractor.

When choosing a general contractor, one of the first things to do is to speak to friends and family, and ask for personal reviews and feedback about general contractors in the area. This way, you’ll be able to judge their performance on multiple standards, including how they treat customers and clients. Looking for customer reviews online is a similar step, and will help you make a fair judgement on the performance of general contractors, and which contractor will be able to serve you best.

While narrowing down your search to a few general contractors, make sure that the ones you’ve chosen are well licensed and experienced in their fields to be able to complete your project with efficiency. While looking for contractors, make sure you speak to a few before deciding on which contractor you wish to hire. One of the things you should ask is if they’ve done similar projects before. Discuss your ideas for the renovation with them; they’ll be able to provide professional advice on what is feasible and what isn’t. While speaking to them, ask them for quotes or price ranges; depending on the figure they quote, make sure that you do not go over your budget while hiring the contractor. Make sure the contractor has the relevant material and insurance policies to be able to complete your project – if materials need to be brought in, make sure that these extra things are accounted for in your budget.

If you decide on a contractor, make sure to ask for a written contract. This will include dates on when the work will begin and end, and include costs and payment schedules. This will help you plan the renovation around your budget.

Long before she played Jill Taylor, Tim Allen’s wife on “Home Improvement,” Patricia Richardson spent “a whole 13 years” on the Upper West Side. “I started my career doing theater,” says the 66-year-old Maryland native, who later moved on to Los Angeles, TV and raising three children. Now she’s back in New York in “Cruel Intentions,” the ’90s jukebox musical at Le Poisson Rouge. The bicoastal star keeps a place in Hell’s Kitchen, mostly to be closer to her two Brooklyn-based sons. She tells Barbara Hoffman where you’ll find her on the weekends.

These days, my life revolves around my Shih-poo, a Shih Tzu-poodle mix named Olive. She’s 10 years old but everyone thinks she’s a puppy. When it’s good weather, we walk all the way down to the park at 23rd Street. It’s beautiful along the [Hudson] river, and you can bring lunch and sit at the tables there.

When I first came to Hell’s Kitchen five or six years ago, there wasn’t much around. Now, Gotham West Market is here, and it has all these wonderful exotic foods and different beers, and Ample Hills Creamery ice cream, homemade ice cream with the most unbelievable flavors. There’s even an outdoor section, so I can take Olive!

For a good meal here we go to 44 & X. It’s at 44th Street and 10th Avenue, and it’s all-white wainscoting and windows. It used to be across from a cab stand, but they tore that down. It has excellent food — a really wonderful seafood salad and great meat.

I spend a lot of time in Brooklyn, and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is our favorite place. When my son Henry got married, the rehearsal dinner was at the Alamo Drafthouse in Boston, so when they finally built one in Brooklyn, it was like, “Yay!”

It’s for people who are serious about film. They don’t allow anyone to turn on a cellphone there, not even to check a text: They’ll kick you out, and they’re very clear about it. They have pizza and hamburgers, and the servers are very discreet about ducking down and not getting in the way.

I was such a terrible cook, so my kids became great cooks by default. That’s why they’re into great restaurants.

Our favorite is the Grill. There are, like, 8 million waiters, the meat is incredible — we’re not vegetarians! — and the ambiance is wonderfully retro. My kids take advantage of the fact I’m here: “Oh, great! Mom has money. She’ll take us out!”
