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.

Nice to meet you. I am also a novice, but we remodeled our house ( last year ) including kitchen and bathroom.
We went with a company that my husband knows and Lowe's had a service that worked with us to come up with a design.
I think a good way to see if the estimate is reasonable is to ask several companies for estimates ?
We also went to several showings. We went to a kitchen exhibit in Anaheim, but
there seem to be similar exhibits all over the place.
I hope this helps a little.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)

You would be better off asking the builder.
Ask them directly at Home Depot.They don't know too much, too long. 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)

When I asked for a roof replacement, I got estimates from HomeDepot and a contractor.
HomeDepot had a salesman come and explain the project to me, but he didn't seem to understand the details. The actual installation was done by a contractor, so he couldn't guarantee the details. On the other hand, the contractor was very thorough in his explanation, so I decided to go with him. I am glad I did. You should consult with HomeDepot first.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)

Thank you for the very useful information about Lowe's design services & Thank you very much for the Anaheim exhibit !
I think I should visit the exhibit to get a good idea of what I want, and then ask several companies for estimates and ideas. ! I think it would be better to go to an exhibition hall or something like that to get a good idea of what I want.

・ Handyman ( Private contractor ) For work that does not require a permit, go to
・ Licensed general contractor ( Contractor )
・ If you want it done roughly, go to local ( Mekiyan or ) contractors
・ Japanese
・ Home Depot, etc. use them if you want a careful finish
・ General contractors are the same.
・ Japanese management, but if the workers are amigos, the work is messy after all lol.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)

> ・ If you are looking for a careful finish, Japanese people
are not 100%.
I had an acquaintance of mine who trusted a Japanese-speaking contractor to reinforce the ceiling beams, but
the beam reinforcement turned out to be just like an ugly amateur's.
Even Japanese contractors range from the best to the worst. Please be careful.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)

Thank you for your comment !
In other words. I guess it's just "luck" to get a good vendor.
Since it is not an inexpensive purchase, I don't want to be disappointed with the result, so I am having a hard time moving forward.

It's probably because of the power of advertising on TV.

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)

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)
