When you are remodeling to accommodate for accessibility concerns, there are a lot of things to keep in mind. One of the most important things to consider is that there are many laws regarding the way disability and accessibility additions need to be handled. There are strict guidelines and standards that all homeowners must abide by. This means that you need to work with a contractor who understands all of these laws very well. This can save you a lot of time and money by making sure that you get everything done right the first time around. Having a contract set down between you and the contractor is an important thing to get out of the way. This contract will lay down the rights and responsibilities of everyone involved with the project. It can be a great way for you to make sure you're on the same page with the contractor. Since you may not be able to supervise every decision the contractor makes, he or she may start doing work that you didn't think they were going to do. A contract can ensure that this does not happen and it can provide you with legal recourse if it does.
