Phase 7: Evaluation – Turn every project into a lesson you can reuse

“The project is done… what did we learn?”

Phase 7 helps you capture what worked, what didn’t and which contractors you want back. Your evaluations become your personal contractor history.

❌ The Problem

  • Months after a remodel you forget who was reliable, where delays happened or what stressed you out.
  • Without records you repeat the same hiring mistakes.

Memory fades when it isn’t documented.

✅ The Solution

  • Evaluate quality, communication, timeliness and change management in minutes.
  • ReConto’s guided questions make feedback clear and actionable for you and your contractor.

Document to improve.

📊 The Result

  • You know who to invite back and which conditions to set next time.
  • When your contractor uses ReConto PRO, they can respond with Improvement Agreements for future work.

Every project makes the next one smarter.

📋 Quick checklist before you submit

  • Does the final result match scope + approved change orders?
  • How did communication feel when timelines shifted?
  • Was your home respected (cleanup, protection, schedules)?
  • Were payments and approvals handled clearly?
  • Would you hire them again? Yes / No / Maybe—and why.

🤝 Improvement Agreements (optional)

If your contractor uses ReConto PRO, you can agree on up to five specific commitments (ex: “send daily update at 6pm”).

Each agreement has an owner and deadline. You see progress and confirm when it’s fulfilled.

When they honor the agreement, both sides document the improvement and trust grows for the next project.

How Phase 8 – Evaluation works in ReConto

  1. 1

    After closure you receive an invite. Evaluate from your phone or laptop.

  2. 2

    Answer structured questions and add quick notes with any detail you want to remember.

  3. 3

    Choose whether to keep the evaluation private or share it with your contractor.

  4. 4

    If they use ReConto PRO, they can respond, suggest agreements and show progress.

  5. 5

    Your evaluation stays attached to the project for warranties, future bids or repeat work.

Real situations where evaluation changes the outcome

Real situations where evaluation changes the outcome

  • Two kitchen remodels with different crews: compare who respected the plan better.

  • Bathroom finished late but flawless: document both sides before deciding to rehire.

  • Interior paint where colors changed without approval: leave notes so you demand written sign-offs next time.

  • Landscaping with great technical work but weak explanations: feedback becomes their script for future clients.

Evaluation is your home’s professional memory

Without records every renovation starts from zero. With ReConto, evaluations reveal patterns: which trades always slip, which contractor communicates best, what clauses you need in the next contract.

Sharing your evaluation (when you choose to) also helps other homeowners hire better and creates accountability in the market.

Tip: before signing a new agreement, review your evaluations. Adjust scope, timelines and communication rules based on what you already lived.

Frequently asked questions about Phase 7: Evaluation

No, but even a three-minute evaluation saves money and stress later.

Only if you share it. Keep it private, share it directly, or publish it inside the ReConto community.

No. Guided questions keep it short, and you can add a few notes only when you have something specific to remember.

Compare past evaluations and check whether they honored previous improvement agreements.

Yes. Your evaluation sits next to the project so you remember dates, responsible parties and decisions.
