Getting Remodel Quotes in Japan

Take and Joey discuss their experiences with two contractors as they plan renovations on their house in Japan. They provide insights into their interactions with these contractors and their cultural nuances, emphasizing the importance of cultural understanding when working with Japanese contractors. The contractors measured, discussed earthquake-related concerns, and made suggestions for their home. Take and Joey both prefer the smaller, more independent contractor (Contractor A) over the larger company (Contractor B), due to their willingness to accommodate customization. They anticipate quotes for the renovations in the range of 6 to 8 million yen (approximately 40,000 to 70,000 USD) for Contractor A and expect Contractor B's quote to be higher. The contractors' professionalism, focus on measurements, and consideration of earthquake safety were notable takeaways. They are eager to see the quotes and share more details in a future episode.Japanese Real Estate Finder: https://www.akiya-mart.com/Video tour of our house: https://vimeo.com/878142072?share=copy
