You want your dream remodel turn into reality? Finding a reliable construction company in a foreign country is certainly one of the most difficult things to do. First of all, whom can you trust if there is nobody in your local network who has ever made the experience? Most of the builders do not speak English well enough, and you will be lost in translation. Our recommended service provider Philippe Romary is French and fluent in English. He has worked with Amercians, Dutch, British and many other international clients. Philippe will provide references you can call before signing a contract. We still recommend beforehand: 1) Search the Internet. Look through Remodeling magazines. Get an idea of what you want before you speak with any construction company in your area. 2) Communicate with your construction company. Accompany the work in progress and give your feedback on every step. 3) Be grateful. It is hard work to do Sweet Home Improvement. A testimonial/review on 7jades is the biggest "thank you" you can give to your builders. 4) Enjoy your beautiful new home !
