This matrix outlines the most common responsibilities in a residential remodel and shows how tasks are typically divided between the homeowner and the contractor.
Most remodel conflicts do not come from poor workmanship. They come from unclear expectations around who is responsible for decisions, purchases, approvals, and timing.
This matrix is designed to make those expectations visible early.
Use it to:
clarify roles before work begins
guide conversations with contractors
identify gaps or assumptions in your scope
reduce finger pointing mid project
This is not a contract.
Responsibilities vary by company and project.
Think of this as a starting point for discussion, not a final answer.
These matrices are excerpts from The Truth About How to Save Money in a Remodel Guide. The full guide provides context, real examples, and communication strategies that help these tools work in real projects.
