TRUE GLAMOUR... take one

I've never blogged before and have no idea what I'm doing but I've been told i have to start a blog so please bear with me, this could get interesting. Any remodeling and renovating project tends to have a madness that naturally occurs and puts your life on hold. Now if you multiply that one project by ten, spread them all over The Metroplex, add a time limit, a full class schedule with impossible projects complete with unreliable group members in my classes, and a very bipolar weather system; I’m sure you can get an idea of the mass chaos that can ensue while working at Sterling Renovations, enrolled as a full time student, and involved in organizations on campus.

As the daughter of a design team, I have gained an insight on the unexpected surprises that come along with the job from a young age and have seen first hand the random client requests, sub-contractor mishaps, and last minute changes that turn a relaxing Saturday with an easy job into a code red emergency. To a client who has been dealing with dust, paint fumes, eating off paper plates on the floor or living out of a hotel while their house appears to serve as grand central station for the subcontractors, men, women, and children who seem to be in their houses at all times, deadlines are not something to be messed with. 




When you tell a client they will have their house back in pristine condition with no strangers, and better than they had ever dreamed it would be on a certain date, they expect it, and who can blame them? We understand how that is and we go above and beyond to meet every client’s expectations, no matter how strange or difficult it may be to achieve them, every time and let me tell you it makes for some pretty great stories.

So I feel it is my duty to share with you, whoever you may be, the mass chaos that comes along with this job and to let you know that you are not the only one who seems to be barely surviving the daunting task of renovating… trust me with our help you can do it, we do it every day. And now when our electrician’s foot bursts through the ceiling (again) I will be able to laugh it off and say well at least I can blog about this life of TRUE GLAMOUR as we drop everything we’re doing to fix the problem!
until next time...
