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.

A lot of people don’t know quite what to expect in a Scottsdale home remodeler.  People come to the process with different ideas and expectations about what a home remodeler will do for them.  Some people want style advice and guidance, while other just want someone to make their vision come to life.

When looking for a home remodeler in Scottsdale it is worth asking for personal recommendations.  If a friend or acquaintance has worked with a home remodeler before they are more likely to know about the style of that particular remodeler.  They will know if the remodeler is a handholding or facilitating kind.  It also makes most people more comfortable if someone they know can make a recommendation about someone who will be in their home unsupervised!

Another benefit of asking for personal recommendations is that you will be able to see examples of the work which they have completed for your acquaintances.  Remodelers, even those who largely facilitate, will still have input and ideas that they will want to bring to bear on your home.  If you can’t get a personal recommendation you’re happy with then ask any potential remodelers if they have photographs of their work to show you.  Again, this will give you a better idea of what to expect.  Look for someone with a range of ideas, or failing that, a niche remodeler who has similar tastes to your own.  Scottsdale is full of home remodelers with a variety of tastes and styles.

Since Republic West began 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. We ask for your help and support as well. Please take a moment to read about “The Big Wish,” and then do what you can to help support Eileen.

While many people celebrate milestones with a big trip to a faraway place or an extravagant party, Eileen Rogers has chosen to celebrate her 50th 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. “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.

To join Republic West in their support of “The Big Wish” please visit Turtlewill and make a donation.
