- Determine Project Scope
- Take before photos and get a minimum of 2 quotes for the work that is to be done. If the project cost will be under $5,000, one quote will suffice.
- Sign the agreement with your contractors and have the work done.
- When work is complete, take after photos and submit final documentation to Roger for reimbursement.
