Dependable Tips for Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations

Plumb Works Inc • June 16, 2017

In beginning a renovation project, it’s important you have a clear vision on what to expect as the process moves forward.

Completing your remodeling work, you’ll have to consider the type of company you wish to work with to improve your home.

In this latest post, we’ll provide several tips for choosing the best local renovation firm in your region.

Invite Reps to the Home

It can be difficult to gauge the quality of a company’s services without first meeting their representatives and discussing their service options with them directly.

Make sure that you invite their team to your home and use this opportunity to discuss their company and their own experience.

You can then make a decision based on their understanding of your project needs, and their own ideas for the renovation work.

Ask for References

Most of the time, companies are happy to provide you with references from their past clients.

They can give you the contact information for other homeowners who have used their services, and this can give you the opportunity to learn more about the company’s work on the site.

Before calling the company’s past clients, make sure that you have a list of questions created.

Consider questions relating to the timing of the project and the company’s professionalism. And make sure the homeowner is completely satisfied with the work on their home.

Review Documentation Closely

Before signing the documentation and beginning the renovation project, make sure you review all the documents closely.

Look for specific figures and numbers regarding the timing of the project.

And ensure that another member of the family reviews the document as well to ensure that all issues are highlighted.

Plan Weeks in Advance

Planning is a critical element in all renovation work. And it’s imperative that you plan in the weeks ahead of your renovation if you are to work with one of the more experienced firms in your area.

Contact a number of companies and ensure that the most experienced company is booked in advance for the project.

This will prevent you from having to pick your second or third choice of renovator when the experienced company becomes booked up in the weeks ahead.

Nothing puts the cold chill on the festive holiday season like a frozen or burst pipe. Frozen pipes are bad enough, but when they burst, the problem worsens and can easily lead to flood damage requiring costly repairs. This all-too-common occurrence affects an estimated 250,000 homes in America each year. And Georgia may be a hot bed for frozen pipes. According to a State Farm report released in 2023, Georgia topped the list of frozen pipe-related losses at $100 million (from August 2002-August 2023.) Plumb Works remains your go-to source for frozen or burst pipe calls in our service area. However, there are some simple tips you can apply to protect pipes in cold weather and help avoid a house call. Before the thermometer dips below freezing – that’s 32 degrees Fahrenheit – do the following:
