Try not to be too specific with your instructions. Contractors work best when they have some freedom in their work. Saying things like "I want it to look exactly like this" or "I want it done by this date" can lead to problems and may end up costing you more money. Also, try not to be too critical of their work - even if you think it's not perfect. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, but just airing your grievances without any explanation or constructive feedback will only frustrate the contractor and set back the renovation process. Finally, try to stay positive and patient throughout the entire process - after all, it's probably going to take a lot longer than you expected!
