10 Tips to Employing a Contractor to Work on Your Home

Doing a Remodel? Contractor Tips!

It's the time of year when when our creative juices start churning and we feel the need to cheer up our homes to match the season and our mood. Before you get started I wanted to share some contractor remodelling do's and don'ts with you:


Tip #1
Never contract a family member or friend to do the job. They may be your cheapest and most trusted, but if there is a problem, you lose your valued friendship or kinship and thats just not worth the risk. 

Tip #2
Your contractor is probably going to farm out the work. If you are working with the contractor and you have explained exactly what you want, he may farm out the work to another contractor or to a subordinate staff member who will not be party to the "I would like" conversation. Ask if the contractor is the person who is doing the work else get the working party to be present at your meeting, so that the work is carried out exactly how you would expect it to be.

Tip #3
The contractor will ask for a deposit. Try and negotiate that to the absolute bare minimum - maybe 10%. Most contractors have a running account with their suppliers, so they pay for the materials after the fact, not before. Rather ask if you could purchase the materials. Sometimes a contractor will disappear with your deposit and a promise to be back soon - and then the excuses begin. 

Tip #4
Please check the contractors last 5 references. Questions to ask should include finding out if the work was done timeously, period of time he took and what the one thing they would have liked the contractor to do. Of course he will probably only give you the good references, so check with them when he completed the job and match his conversation with you, for slip ups and untruths.

Tip #5
Ask how many projects the contractor is working on at the same time. This could be crucial as you may end up being your own project manager while paying him for his services.

Tip #6
It would be a wonderful idea to pop in on his current job to see his work ethic and talk to his subcontractors to see that they are functioning in a happy environment. You can also check how neat his work is and how he commands his business site.

Tip #7
Work out the schedule of work to be done and how the payments are to be made and put them into a contract and do not change them after the beginning of the contract. Never pay in cash, always have a receipt. Once you set the payment plan, stick to it. The first time you give in, will be the downfall to the rest of the payments. Hold the last payment for the final inspection and handover, when contractor and you the client are happy that the job has been completed correctly. 

Tip #8
Have a weekly/daily meeting, depending on the size of the project and have a schedule of work to be completed that week/day. Minute your meetings and send a copy to the contractor confirming the conversation.

Tip #9
Do not use a contractor who does not show you his insurance and license. Those who do not have the required documents will often come in with the low ball quote which will be tempting for you to accept. If his offer is too good to be true, it probably is

Tip #10
Research your choice of contractor before appointing hime and find reviews on the net. Interview a few and seek recommendations. Use your intuition and look for character flaws. 

My intention is not to scare you about working with contractors. Most are great people and their work is fantastic for the most part, but don't be charmed into accepting them because they are nice people. Research, check references and visit their site they are busy at, it will be worth the effort.

6 Secrets To Get Your Home Sold Quickly and For the Most Money

Do You Want Your Home Sold Quickly and For More Money?

Of course you do - everyone does, but how?


Here are 6 secrets to getting your home sold quickly and easily and for the most money.

1. Attractive entrance and kerb appeal will do the trick to get people through the door of your home. If your house looks inviting, people will be charmed and want to see more. Make sure the front door area is freshly painted, the lamp and bulbs are working and look presentable. Put out a welcome mat and in the general entrance hall area, add flower baskets or pots to dress the front door.

2. Homes that are in need of repair will get less money and be subject to low ball offers - if your home looks chic and in good repair, you will get a bigger price for your home and your home will sell quickly. Take a walk around and make sure curtains are hooked properly, door handles are new and shiny, light fittings secured and any broken or damaged items repaired and looking good.

3. Terrible odors are a good reason for a buyer to offer you less money for your home. If a buyer loves the look of a home and walks in to pungent smells of cigarette smoke or pet odors, that is very off putting and he walks away remembering the smell of the home before he remembers the accommodation

4. Light and bright homes sell more easily and for more money. People are less attracted to dark homes. Do your best to present the house with as much light as you possibly can. Sometimes it means  that you may need to give your home a coat of paint, change the bedding to light colors and put throws over dark furniture. Those are quick fixes that will get you more money.


5. An uncluttered and clean home will sell more quickly and for more money than one that is untidy, dirty and poorly presented. Always present your home perfectly. Make sure that the kitchen counters are clear and that the dishes are packed away. Bathrooms need to smell fresh, 'show' towels and bath mats to present perfectly. Clothing behind closed doors and toys packed away and uncluttered.

6. Price your home correctly. If its priced correctly more people will look at your home and in todays market, more often than not you can get more for your home than the asking price.
