The Renovation Chain of Command

We've been following this great home renovation series from the Wall Street Journal as a tech editor, Julia Angwin, continues to renovate her Harlem Brownstone.

There is definitely something to be said for making executive decisions but also for letting your paid professionals make the decisions you've employed them to make. They know their subs and teams the best and will usually make decisions much faster and with more information than you as a homeowner could. But it also never hurts to follow up and check up on everything.
