    Hiring Professionals for Your Home Improvement

    By Michael Harris | Blog | 0 comment | 2 September, 2023 | 0

    Hiring contractors can seem intimidating, especially if you aren’t sure what type of professionals are needed to do the job you have in mind. Today, GAP Trade Services offers some key considerations for hiring the right professionals to complete your home improvement project, along with some resources on where to find them, and how to increase your property’s value.

    Additions to Boost Your Property’s Overall Value

    Choosing improvements to boost your property’s overall worth can be a tricky decision. The key is looking at what prospective buyers are looking for when they’re buying homes in your area. If you’re thinking about adding on some extra space or upgrading your home’s infrastructure, start by asking yourself whether it would increase its value over time.

    Here are some ideas for additions that will increase your property value and bring a return on your investment:

    • Convert your basement.
    • The Spruce says to consider converting the garage into a living space.
    • Convert the attic.
    • Add a sunroom.
    • Renew the kitchen.
    • Remodel the bathroom.
    • Add lighting improvements.
    • Add energy efficiency improvements.
    • Add curb appeal.

    Hire a General Contractor

    While you could technically manage a renovation on your own, a trusted contractor can make your life much easier. They will usually organise the project for you from start to finish. Before hiring one, ask friends and family if they have any recommendations. Once you’ve identified several potential contractors, interview them all to gauge their professionalism and level of expertise, and find someone who knows how to manage projects from start to finish.

    Finding Reputable Contractors

    The internet has made it easy to vet contractors. But there are still a few steps you should take before hiring anyone. In addition to asking friends, family, and business associates for possible leads and recommendations, you can turn to the internet to locate the help you need. If you’re looking to hire a painter, for example, search for local painting companies and read reviews on their websites. You could also check out reviews on sites like Yelp to see how other customers feel about each contractor’s work. Reviews can reveal shady business practices and flag potential safety concerns.

    Hiring Contractors

    Make sure you get everything in writing – read contracts carefully and make sure all of your questions get answered before signing on. Also, never pay in full until you are absolutely sure that everything is done correctly. If something goes wrong, you’ll be able to get any unfinished work fixed (or get your money back). It’s also important to get multiple bids on projects to make sure quotes are not overpriced.

    Contractor Safety Requirements 

    If you’re looking to create a major home improvement project, Find The Home Pros notes that your best bet is to hire a professional contractor to ensure that your job is done safely and to code. In addition to potential injury, many homes have hidden damage that only a professional can detect.

    The Best Results

    If you’re thinking about adding value to your home through a renovation project, it’s best to hire an experienced contractor (just make sure you follow all the right steps to ensure you’re hiring someone you can trust). It’s important to consult with experts and pick reputable contractors so that you get the best results.

    GAP Trade Services is here to provide simple solutions to all your home-based needs. Let us know if you have any questions!
