Remodelers and new-home builders both build homes; they just go about it in different ways. While tract builders embrace evenflow or slotting production methods, remodelers schedule around the time a client leaves for work. While builders offer a controlled options list, remodelers offer clients virtually limitless product choices. And while builders demand volume price cuts from subs, remodelers hope for efficiencies by running a tight jobsite, paying quickly … and because their fathers played cards together, back in the day.

Depending on the size of the company and its clientele, remodelers can be anything from a distant relative of new-home builders to another species altogether. But in today's marketplace — where buyers shop neighborhood as much as they do home type —differences count. Remodelers must be perceived as the equal (or better) choice to deliver a perfect “new” home, because they are competing with the lure of a brand-new home — and the well-run building companies that put them up.

To even the playing field, remodelers should look at the things new-home builders do well. Here are four areas where they have something to teach:

- Radiant Heat Connecticut
Radiant floor heating is the most comfortable way to heat a space. Period. I love it and so do my customers and the builders and remodelers who increasingly demand it. Since radiant systems heat objects (not the air, like conventional systems), they're fuel-efficient, quiet, clean, and comfortable, all while eliminating baseboards and radiators.

- Best Practices of Remodelers Connecticut
Clean jobsites are half the battle of keeping homeowners happy. Remodelers' best practices fall into four categories. Specify who is responsible for which tasks, and monitor follow-through. Create a jobsite manual with photos of how every part of the site should look. Fine trade contractors if they don't clean.
