WHAT CAN A HOME SHOPPER DO FOR YOU?
A building or renovation project has a lot of events that must be done in a certain sequence if the project
is to be completed on time , and more importantly, on budget. Whether it is one room, an addition,
or a whole house, the steps are pretty much the same. There are certain items that the contractor
supplies as part of his quote, but the overwhelming majority of the items must be provided by the
owner. For example, here is a typical (not all inclusive) list of what the contractor usually provides (all
paid for by the owner) for a new kitchen and what the owner must provide:
NOTE: There are usually separate contractors for drywall, framing, paint and trim, elec- trical,
plumbing, appliance installation, cabinetry and countertops, to name a few. The appliance,
cabinet, or countertop retailers may also have their own installation teams.

How many different places must you visit to decide upon and purchase these items?
How much time must you take off from work to accept delivery of large items?
Well, that's where Let Me Shop can help. I can help you determine your style, narrow down your
selections, purchase the items, and arrange to accept delivery of your things. This will ensure that your
project flows smoothly and you can enjoy your new surroundings that much sooner!
