Renovating a Home

      Renovation, Step By Step

Step 8. Give the final thumbs-up

As the work winds down, make sure that it has been done to your satisfaction and according to your contract. Never make the final payment or sign a certificate of work completion or any other document releasing the renovator from further responsibility until all deficiencies are corrected. Don't release the lien holdback until the registration period for mechanics' liens has passed and any outstanding liens have been paid.

Once the project is finished and life returns to normal, sit back and enjoy the fruit of your labours. If you prepared yourself well, you'll find your hard work has really paid off.
