How to hire a contractor

BY J OH N S A N TO S When hiring a contractor there are many things that people look for. Such as will they get the job done in a decent amount of time with few delays, will they cooperate with my wishes, and most importantly will they help build the space of my dreams.

When hiring a contractor you should factor in if this person is someone you can work with because they can be working around your home for days, weeks, or months.

While interacting with your entire family and pets for long periods of time.

When considering hiring a contractor make sure they share your visions because the project may become complicated and unenjoyable.

Consider other contractors who may be better for your specific interests if there will be a conflict. Next, when you are looking for a contractor look for someone who will be capable of the project you want to be built.

Whether it’s a modern, old-styled, or any other type of building style look for someone who specializes in those types of homes or buildings. This can help in many ways because if the contractor you are considering hiring takes an interest in specific building styles such as yours they will most likely be able to fulfill every wish you want for your home or

building.

Also, try to hire a contractor that is familiar with your area so that they know what building codes they need to follow and what restrictions there are in building your space. Then, ask your contractor if they are subcontracting and for what parts of the project.

Some contractors subcontract on certain things like plumbing, roofing, and other factors in finishing your home or building so that it gets done by someone who specializes in those kinds of tasks.

Ask to see references from previous projects so you can see the capabilities of the contractor you are considering hiring. This can help you get an idea of what the contractor is capable of doing to your home or building.

It’s also good to find a contractor through reliable sources. Such as your town hall, which will most likely have good suggestions of contractors who work on buildings specifically in the area up to the building codes.

Also getting contractors recommended by a friend, family member

or local store can be helpful in finding the right contractor for your job. Most importantly make sure your contractor writes up an estimate so you know how much the project is going to cost and if the project fits into your budget.

Another importance of your contractor writing up an estimate is that it shows you the specific job description and how long it may take. A contract that a contractor will write up is meant to protect you the homeowner as well as the contractor, so there are few disputes as to one another’s obligations.

A contractor should be a good candidate if they write up a contract because it shows they care for the specifics of your job and their obligations. Also, it is very important to get the proper permits you need before starting a project.

If you don’t have the proper permits it can pause your whole project and make it harder for you and the contractor you hire. Given today’s economy and delivery times make sure to keep in mind that your project may be delayed for months or weeks due to shortages in materials.

Try to be understanding about this because it can add complications to the project for you and the contractor. Overall, these are some simple but important factors you should consider in hiring a contractor to work on your home or building.

A

t the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many homeowners suddenly found themselves in need of more usable square footage in their homes.

Required to work from home due to social distancing recommendations, millions of working professionals suddenly found themselves setting up shop at kitchen tables or islands, in alcoves, garages, or even walk-in closets. Those makeshift offices were never supposed to be permanent, but as companies loosen workplace policies and embrace full remote or hybrid working arrangements, professionals are seeking more permanent home office solutions.

Home additions are a possibility for homeowners who need more usable square footage, but add-ons may not be the right option for everyone.

If adding on won’t work, homeowners may want to look up ... at their attics.

Attics with ample space can make for ideal home offices, as they’re away from the hustle and bustle of a home’s main floor. That can make it easier to concentrate when everyone is in the house and reduce the likelihood that video calls with colleagues and clients will be interrupted by kids and pets.

Attic conversions are not always possible, and the following are three important factors homeowners may need to consider before they can go forward with such projects.

1. Dimensions: Both the renovation experts at This Old House and the real estate experts at UpNest indicate that at least half of a finished attic must be a minimum of seven feet high and seven feet wide and 70 square feet.

Requirements may differ depending on where homeowners live, but that 7-7-70 guideline is generally the minimum requirement. An attic that fails to meet such requirements

won’t necessarily be a lost cause, but it might be costly to make adjustments that ultimately align with local codes.

2. Access: Access is another aspect that must adhere to local safety guidelines. Many attics are accessible only through pulldown ladders, but that will have to change if homeowners repurpose their attic spaces. A staircase that complies with local laws will need to be installed, and contractors can work with homeowners to build that and estimate the cost. Homeowners who simply want to put desks in their attics without going with full-fledged conversions are urged to adhere to local access requirements anyway, as they’re intended to ensure residents can safely escape attics in the case of a fire or another emergency.

3. Climate control: Attics are converted to provide residents with more livable space. Converted space is only livable if the climate within the attic can be controlled so it’s cool in the summer and warm in the winter. An existing HVAC unit needs to efficiently heat and cool an extra room. If it can’t, bills might spike because the rest of the home likely won’t be as comfortable, forcing homeowners to adjust thermostats to offset that discomfort. That also could affect the unit’s life expectancy. Before going forward with an attic renovation, homeowners should contact HVAC professionals to determine if attic spaces can be serviced with the existing units and ductwork, or if an alternative arrangement must be worked out to make the spaces livable.

Attic conversions can be great ways to make existing spaces more livable. Homeowners considering such projects should pay attention to three important variables as they try to determine if attic conversions will work for them.

Budget-friendly ways to upgrade a landscape

A

Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.

n inviting, well-tended landscape can add significant curb appeal to a home. Such a landscape also can serve as a point of pride and welcome homeowners each evening as they arrive home from work.

Landscaping projects run the gamut from simple changes that can be accomplished on a weekend afternoon to more significant and costly undertakings that require the work of a professional.

Budget-conscious homeowners may be looking for simpler projects, and the following are some less costly ways to upgrade a landscape.

Add a pop of color with planters.

Awe-inspiring colors can make a landscape stand out from surrounding properties. Flowers, bushes and plants may be the first thing homeowners consider when trying to add color to their lawns, but planters can provide a more immediate way to give exterior grounds some color. Bold planters won’t lose their color in a matter of weeks like many flowers do, and homeowners can switch planters so the colors align with the season. For example, some pastel planters can evoke the spirit of spring, while orange planters can be filled with mums to give a landscape an autumnal feel.

S E R V I N G

Plant perennials around the property. Well-maintained perennials grow back each year, making them ideal for homeowners who don’t have the time or desire to map out new gardening arrangements each spring.

Planting perennials also is a great way to add color around the property without breaking the bank.

B O T H

Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look.

According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation.

R E S I D E N T I A L

&

Plant to create privacy. Homeowners spent more time at home than ever before during the pandemic, and some might have grown tired of seeing what their neighbors are up to. Fencing might be the first solution homeowners consider when looking to make their landscapes more private. But new fencing installation can be expensive, costing homeowners between $1,667 and $4,075 on average, according to BobVila.com. A more costly and natural solution is to plant trees around the perimeter. Speak with a local landscaping professional, who can survey the property to see which trees might thrive and provide the privacy homeowners want.

Creating an inviting landscape doesn’t have to break the bank. Various small and relatively inexpensive projects can change the look and feel of a home’s exterior.

How to cut costs on home renovations

D

o you still have an avocado green kitchen? Is your living room dank and dark?

Perhaps there is only one bathroom for a family of six? Answering yes to any of these questions could serve as the catalyst for a home renovation project.

Home improvement projects come in all shapes and sizes — some with huge budgets and others that are more cost-conscious.

Regardless of what homeowners hope to achieve with their renovations, a common goal across any price point is a desire to save as much money as possible. Home renovations can be expensive, but there are ways to cut costs.

• Assess the merit of the project.

Remodeling magazine annually publishes a “Cost vs. Value Report” that lists the average cost and return on investment homeowners can expect of various types of projects. If you’re planning to sell

your home soon, it may be best to focus on repairs and renovations that will generate the most substantial ROI. • Hire a contractor. Even avid doit-yourselfers can sometimes benefit from a contractor’s expertise, particularly for complex tasks. Don’t waste money by trying tough jobs yourself; rely on an experienced contractor who can get supplies for less money and will do the job right the first time. Compare bids from several different contractors and figure out the best value.

• Refurbish existing features.

Rather than a complete gut and rebuild, figure out where you can revitalize existing fixtures and more.

For example, refinishing existing cabinets can save you up to 50 percent compared with the cost of new cabinetry, according to Angi (formerly Angie’s List), a cost comparison and business review resource.

then to save.

•Choose midgrade materials. Certain materials may be all the rage but they come with a higher price tag. Angi reports that granite counters could be $60 to $100 per square foot. However, a composite or laminate that looks like granite and wears well may be $10 to 40 per square foot. Figure out where you can choose middleof-the-road materials for maximum value.

• Avoid peak seasons. You’ll pay more to install a deck or a pool right before the outdoor entertaining season. There also may be a premium to get work done right before a major holiday. Therefore, consult the calendar to find an off time for a renovation and book it

• Do some prep work. You might be able to save by doing some of the demolition and preparatory work yourself.

For example, you can tear up old carpeting before the installation of new tile floors. Perhaps you can mend and patch up walls before a paint job.

• Buy a display item. Former showroom kitchens and baths often are sourced at a fraction of their recommended retail prices, according to Real Homes, a home remodel guide based in the United Kingdom. Retailers often update their displays and you may score existing showroom items at a discount.

Renovations can be expensive, but there are many different ways to cut costs.

sphalt driveways do not last forever. Over time, weather and general usage can degrade the driveway surface, resulting in cracks, pitting and more. Ultraviolet rays, salt and automotive fluids also can affect the appearance and functionality of a driveway. An unsightly driveway can adversely affect curb appeal and resale potential.

Homeowners have to consider various factors when it comes to repairing driveways. They may have the option of getting the driveway resurfaced, resealed or repaved, and each project is unique.

Resealing Resealing a driveway, also called sealcoating, is another repair strategy.

HGTV says resealing can be a do-ityourself project. Resealing helps the driveway last longer.

The driveway needs to be clean and dry, with holes and cracks filled prior to sealcoating. Start at the far edge of the driveway and seal that area by “cutting-in” by hand for a neat edge.

Afterward the rest of the driveway can be sealed using a squeegee or broom.

This project can be completed within two or three days if no precipitation is forecast.

Repaving Resurfacing

Different ways to repair a driveway

According to the home improvement price comparison site Kompare It, resurfacing is simpler and faster than installing a new asphalt driveway. With resurfacing, any cracks are filled in to create an even base. Then a new layer of asphalt is applied over the existing one. That new layer can range in thickness from 1.5 to 3 inches. A heavy rolling machine will then smooth and flatten the layers together. If the driveway has minor pitting or cracking, then resurfacing can be a cost-effective strategy, as it may be a $3,000 to $6,000 job as opposed to $5,000 to $10,000 with repaving.

A project best left to professionals, repaving typically involves the removal of an existing driveway and the installation of a new one. The subgrade layer is essential in the process for a smooth look. Contractors also will assess soil and grading when doing work. The construction blog Main Infrastructure says the new asphalt driveway can vary in thickness between 2 and 6 inches, depending on budget and need. The contractor also can advise if full-depth asphalt application or an aggregate base is practical.

Assessing the condition of driveway can give homeowners a better idea about which type of repair project best suits their property.
