Quality Standards for the Remodeling Industry

By David Markoff

When it comes to your remodeling project, defining quality is not an easy task. Each person's definition of "quality" is based on his or her own subjective experiences. In order to have an objective set of guidelines that both contractors and homeowners can reference, the remodeling industry has developed a set of quality standards to provide benchmarks for a contractor's workmanship and the materials he uses.

The book, Residential Construction Performance Guidelines, is a valuable resource for both you and your contractor. The guidelines give you and your contractor a well-defined foundation for defining the quality benchmarks your remodeling project should meet.

It is important that a contractor reference, in your contract, the industry accepted quality standards as his guidelines for workmanship and materials. By referencing the quality standards in your contract, you are better assured that the materials and workmanship used for your project meet the generally accepted quality standards for the industry.
