        "text": "Before bringing in a contractor for an initial walk-through, you should document your project priorities, establish a realistic target budget, and gather visual design references. Identify whether your main goal is cosmetic modernization, gaining functional storage, or changing room layouts by moving walls. It is equally important to make a preliminary list of fixtures, appliances, and finish preferences, such as tile types or custom molding details. Having these priorities decided ahead of time allows your contractor to produce an accurate scope of work, coordinate necessary trade specialists early, and prevent mid-project change orders.",
