What To Do When a
18 The County Times Thursday, September 13, 2018
Project Stalls
Upon embarking on a home improvement project,
homeowners who have never before lived through such
undertakings are often told to expect their projects to
take more time than initial estimates suggested. Unfore-
seen complications can compromise project timelines,
and some homeowners may find their projects stuck in
neutral.
Stalled projects can make life at home difficult, and
homeowners may feel helpless with regard to getting a
project back on course. But there are ways for homeown-
ers to get stalled projects back on course.
• Start off on solid financial footing. It’s important that
homeowners who want to upgrade their homes enter
the home improvement process with a realistic grasp of
their finances. Many home improvement projects stall
when homeowners run out of money. Homeowners can
avoid such unfortunate situations by only beginning a
project they know they can afford. Whether funding
a project with a loan or savings or a combination of
both, homeowners should make an honest assessment
of what they can afford to commit to a given project. If
the amount of money available does not add up to the
estimated cost of the project, delay the project now or
you might be facing a stalled project down the road.
• Honestly assess whether or not you can finish the job.
Do-it-yourselfers may have the abilities to complete a
project, but they should not let their pride get in the
way of their ultimate goal, which is the completion of
the project. In addition to money, time or lack thereof,
is often the culprit behind stalled projects. Homeown-
ers with full-time jobs, families or both may not be able
to find the time to complete a job in a timely fashion.
If the project has been stuck in neutral and no sudden
windfall of free time is on the horizon, start contacting
contractors to finish the job for you.
• Ask for help. There’s no shame in asking for help to
complete a project. Some homeowners may underes-
timate the scope of a project until it’s too late. Ask-
ing family, friends or neighbors for help might be the
only way to get a stalled project back on track. Certain
home improvement projects may not require advanced
skills, and even friends or family with little or no home
improvement experience can pitch in to complete such
projects. When more advanced projects stall, home- need to reapply for permits if projects go unfinished

ous ways to get projects back on track.
• Be mindful of permits. Some home improvement proj-
ects require permits, and these permits often have ex-
piration dates. Homeowners must keep permits in mind
when projects start to stall, recognizing that they may
