After understanding the types of decoration companies, let's talk about how to choose a decoration company:

How to choose a decoration company

For outsiders, there are generally three ways to understand the decoration company:

(1) Recommended by friends and relatives

2 offline.

③ Internet advertising

No matter where you know the decoration company, you need to do more investigation and comparison, and teach you to choose the decoration company that suits you at 5 o'clock.

1, look at the company's reputation and strength.

Word of mouth is good, strength is hard or not, and people's evaluation and industry recognition have been seen:

In addition, the scale of a company can also measure a company's comprehensive strength, which can be investigated through offline consultation.

2. Look at the professional ability of the designer.

Choose a professional and suitable designer in two steps:

Look at previous works: An experienced designer must have rich works and his own style and field.

Interview to see the details: interview is the easiest way to find out whether the designer and himself "hit it off", and it can also be seen from communication whether the designer is rigorous and responsible.

3, see the construction party and the construction site

Carefully choose the decoration company that outsources the construction team, which is easy to "wrangle"; It is recommended to choose a company with its own construction department, which is safe and secure:

In addition, professional decoration companies will also have their own special quality inspection team to conduct quality inspection at the construction site from time to time to ensure that the project quality meets the standards and specifications:

4. Look at the cooperation process and quotation.

Consultation → house measurement → design → construction → acceptance, with detailed procedures and standards, and corresponding contracts for house measurement, design and construction, with clear responsibilities and no worries.

For the quotation, some decoration companies only give a total quotation, which is ambiguous. This type is easy to have many additional items; Reliable decoration companies will be accurate to every small detail, even every centimeter, and the quotation is clear!

5, look at the payment method and after-sales.

Each decoration company has different payment methods, some need to pay 80%, and some even need to pay in one lump sum. When choosing, you must look at the ratio between the terms of the contract and the prepaid amount to ensure that your property is not lost. In addition, after-sales service is also very important. Formal decoration companies will have perfect after-sales service and solve problems in time.

In short, choosing a decoration company needs many comparisons. Of course, you can't be a shopkeeper when you choose a decoration company. So, what do we need to do?

What else do you need?

There are two main parts:

1, regular supervision and inspection

Whether you choose half-package or full-package, you need to go to the construction site for inspection and supervision frequently, and the frequency is best 2-3 times a week. Is it really unconditional? ! In addition, at the beginning and end of each construction, it is necessary to be present for confirmation or acceptance to avoid rollover or other bugs.

2. Cooperate with the decoration company to purchase the main materials in time.

Friends who choose half a package must cooperate with the decoration company to purchase the main materials in advance if they want to complete their check-in as soon as possible.

Cooperate with the decoration company to purchase the main materials in time, which can make the decoration project more compact and greatly shorten the construction period. Finding a reliable decoration company is half the battle. Don't wait until the house is bored and you quarrel with your family every day before you begin to regret it.
