Call before you dig

When home remodeling, Arizona residents should always call the local utility company to come out and mark any underground utilities. The last thing you want to do is dig into the ground and hit existing services. A gushing sewer pipe is never any fun. Save yourself an unplanned front yard fountain by calling the water company before shoveling.

Choose what’s right for you

The beauty of owning a home is it’s yours. You can do with it what you want, so all options are open when it comes to home remodeling. Arizona homeowners can create the homes of their dreams, one project at a time. The fun never ends when it comes to the special features you can add to your home.

Contact Republic West for Arizona home remodelers, and other home remodeling services including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, room additions, window and door replacement and cabinet refacing.

Spend money where the water is

To maximize resale value, concentrate on kitchens and baths when it comes to Tempe home remodeling. Homes gain the most monetary value for renovations done “where the water is,” studies show.

Design and plan your electric outlets

Realize that when home remodeling, Tempe code requires that a certain number of electrical outlets be placed in a room. Some contractors decide to get lazy and just slap outlets wherever is convenient for them, not for design purposes. Tell your electrician exactly where you want the outlets to be. Location should feature aesthetics as well as convenience. You don’t want the best outlet to be hidden behind the couch.

Keep an organizational folder

You may choose to be your own general contractor for your Phoenix home remodeling. Residents who decide to take on the job themselves can save a lot of confusion by getting an expandable folder to keep track of projects. Keep one for each type of project, including one for plumbing, one for the kitchen, and another for electrical wiring.

Keep receipts, plans, and measurements in the folder so you don’t get them confused. Keep it simple and get organized. There’s enough stress already to home remodeling. Phoenix homeowners shouldn’t make it any more complicated than it has to be.

Finding the right home remodeling contractor puts you on the path to a happy outcome for both you and your home. Here is the third segment of our home remodeling contractor truths.

• Communicate how you really live. It’s the only way to achieve a design that truly suits you and your family.
• Note how well the designers listen to you. Communication is an extremely important consideration when hiring a professional Phoenix home remodeling contractor. Make sure you have a rapport with the person you decide to hire. You will be spending a lot of time with them, so comfort in the relationship is key.
• Demand a calendar. There will be scheduling changes, of course, but it’s the only way to keep apprised of where you are in the process.
• Be straightforward about how much or how little you can spend. This information is vital to a designer when balancing your design wishes with your budget.
• Look for someone who’s proud of their work. If they are enthusiastic about past projects, they’ll more than likely be enthusiastic about yours.
• Like the home remodeling contractor you’ve hired, because you’re going to have a relationship for a long time.

Finding the right home remodeling contractor puts you on the path to a happy outcome for both you and your home. Here is the second segment of our home remodeling truths.

• Remember that reputation, references, quality of workmanship, and personality are as important as the bottom line.
• Make sure your home remodeling contractor carries good liability insurance.
• Beware of anyone who offers a firm price for materials but not for labor. If a contractor cannot estimate the labor cost, you do not want that contractor.
• To find a reliable Phoenix home remodeling contractor, get recommendations from friends who have done home improvement projects.
• Before calling a company, check each company’s references and record with the Better Business Bureau and Registrar of Contractors. Then, invest some time in reviewing your options. It is up to you to understand what each company is offering you.

According to a recent survey by Remodeling Magazine, kitchens and windows are in the Top 10 remodeling projects that are an excellent return on investment at resale. However, stress from remodeling is also in the Top 10, 2nd after divorce according to a recent survey.

Finding the right home remodeling contractor puts you on the path to a happy outcome for both you and your home. Here is the first segment of our remodeling truths.

• Make sure your contractor specializes in remodeling rather than building. As any “This Old House” viewer knows, remodeling contractors regularly deal with circumstances that plans don’t show.
• Determine who will be doing the actual work if you will be working with the company-trained employees or subcontractors.
• Find a Phoenix home remodeling contractor with a history of finishing jobs on time. It will prevent the single biggest nightmare of remodeling the never-ending job.
• Protect yourself against shoddy workmanship with a warranty designed for this purpose. Remember, however, that a warranty is only as strong as the company that offers it.
• Any remodeling project is only as good as the professionals hired to do the job, Ask for references.

Since we started Republic West back in 1995, we have made it a priority to “give back” to the community regularly. It is a part of our culture that makes us proud.

This year, our community outreach program has adopted Eileen Roger’s “Big Birthday Wish” and we are fully committed to helping Eileen reach her goal of building a school in Mali. On February 22, 2010, we will hold a yard sale and all proceeds will go to benefit the Big Wish.

We need your help to support The Big Wish! We are asking you to donate your unused or unwanted items for the Republic West yard sale.

Please take a moment to read about the “Big Wish.” “The Big Wish” is to build a 90-student, two-classroom, brick and cement school and related projects in the Mali village of Tourari, located approximately 10 miles west of Timbuktu.

While many people celebrate milestones with a big trip to a faraway place or an extravagant party, Eileen Rogers has chosen to celebrate her 50^th birthday this year to raise funds to build a school in Mali, a landlocked country in West Africa.  Those of us close to Eileen are not at all surprised because we have always admired and been inspired by her commitment to giving to those less fortunate than her. She is an inspiration.

To join Republic West in their support of “The Big Wish” please donate items for our yard sale or visit www.turtlewill.org/donate.php and make a donation.
