It’s handy to be handy.
But what if you have neither
the time nor the inclination to take on home improvement and repair projects?
Call in the experts. No matter what ails your abode, there is someone who can improve or fix it. And here’s a bonus: big projects, such as room additions or remodeled kitchens, add significandy to the value of your residence.
Even small projects, such as painting, carpeting and wallpapering, pay daily dividends in terms of the pride and pleasure you have in your home.
Don’t be hasty. Take time to choose the home improvement professionals you’ll be working with. Look for those who enjoy detail work and consider themselves craftsmen.
To make sure a contractor is reliable and responsible, check credentials and licenses and find out how long he or she has been in business.
Ask for references; call or visit a few past clients. Check for complaints with vour local consumer affairs office and local branch of the Better Business Bureau.
Obtain bids from several professionals — but don’t assume that the lowest bidder is the best. Put your agreement in writing, and once the job begins, try to avoid making changes.
