What most may not know is that Automated Renovation Service Companies essentially outsource all their work.  Their sales associates are not specialized in any of the three areas of expertise: professional design, product selection, or installation.  While the perception of the process is to make things easier, the process actually becomes more complicated by “adding another chef in the kitchen” and the unnecessary costs associated with it.  Perhaps outsourcing is beneficial in terms of convenience, but certainly not in terms of final outcome.  Better to seek the direct sources that are already available and eliminate the middleman in communication. 

Renovations are not a race, they are a quest to achieve quality, longevity through a detailed and efficient process.  Technology has affected our culture that has consumers accustomed to ultimate convenience and receiving product quickly.  Investors and entrepreneurs in tech have been described as having unreasonable disregard for what can be reasonably done.  This approach resonates with marketing the concept of “renovations made easy.”  It creates the unrealistic expectation of no difficulty being associated with a high quality outcome.  Cultural differences often occur when there is a gap in expectations.  As a result, these automated renovation services who have little experience in our industry have encountered difficulty in successfully working with industry professionals; contractors, designers, and showrooms.
