About home renovation (please tell me ))

This is my first time using this section.
I would like to start renovating my bathroom & kitchen, etc., but I am a complete novice and have no idea where to start.
I have a limited budget, so I wanted to gather some "basic flow" and "useful information" before taking action.
Therefore, I would like to ask for your experiences and any other useful information you may have to share. Thank you very much.
For example.
・ Are Lowe's and Home Depot places for people who can decide on their own design, ? or ?
・ What is the budget difference between having a renovation company do the work and relying on Lowe's and the like? & Do you know if there is any difference in the finished product ?
・ Is there any way to know if the price quoted is reasonable or not? <2265> ・ Do you have any information that we should know about ! ?
・ Do you know if there is a big exhibition hall where we can see and compare the actual products ?
・Do you have a carpenter who will come? ? ( Do you have anything we should prepare for the carpenters and others who will come to the show Drinks? Tipping is required ? )
I'm sorry, I don't understand a lot of things.
If there is anything I should know before taking action, or anything I should be aware of after taking action, please let me know.
Thank you very much.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I see that there are places that do commercials on TV.
I did not know that.
Thanks for the information.

My son is 50 years old, but he was born and raised here.
He has friends in the construction industry, and when we wanted to fix a part of our house,
he would bring someone from that industry to help us.
Also, once when we needed a painter, the house next door had a total exterior paint job done and
the workmanship was so-so that we asked them to do it for us too.
After all, we are afraid to ask a stranger, including Japanese-American relations, if we do not have some kind of reference.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

> It's probably because they have the power to advertise on TV.
Not necessarily.
I hear that if they advertise, they charge more for the work they do, and they charge more even if the work is not done properly.
If the quality is good without advertisement like Chateraise, it will be advertised by word of mouth of customers. The price is reasonable because they don't have to pay for advertisement.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I hear that if you pay for advertising, you get a fee on top of that, and even if you do a reasonable job, you get a fee as well.
Whether or not the work is done properly, any advertising costs are ultimately borne by the customer. If it's a huge advertising fee, like putting it on TV, they're probably unknowingly burdened with hundreds or thousands of dollars in advertising fees for remodeling-type jobs with high unit costs. There are a few people like Showa-era ototsuan who don't understand anything and are deceived.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Thank you all.
As Baikinman said, I have seen houses nearby that have been constructed and thought they were nice. There was a house in my neighborhood that had been completely renovated, outside and inside, almost everything except the frame.
Even in the middle of construction, until the curtains went in, you could somewhat see the inside from the outside ( and the entrance & from the street sideand the living room with kitchen was visible just by walking around normally. )
Every time I walked past there ( I thought, "The construction company here might be polite. ) I thought to myself.
Before → After was surprisingly different. ( Including the exterior )
However, it was a private contractor, or they spent a lot of time.
It seemed to be a freshly purchased renovation or had a separate residence, so I am sure the long term would not have been a problem.
I sometimes wondered if it would be easy to visit the house and inquire about the construction company if the need arose.
I thought it would be very rude and did not take action. I probably won't do it in the future.
I wish my neighbors would do it =. )I am hoping that the neighbors who have been in contact with us will be able to do it . This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
