- FlooringWhile carpet has been a popular flooring choice through the years, hardwood and tile have taken first place in today’s homes. They can boost your home’s resale price by three percent and require less maintenance while improving indoor air quality over carpeted floors. Plus, they lend a more luxurious feel to the house. Among your choices are maple, oak, or classic woods like walnut and hickory. However, remember that wood isn’t always ideal for all climates and may warp and grow mold in humid environments like Florida. In that case, home builders opt for tile, stone, or marble floors.

- Skylight Repair/ReplacementConsider skylights and solar tubes, which are specialized canister lights that bring in natural light anywhere you have less than six meters between your ceiling and roof. Solar panels have entered the mainstream, especially since they save a significant amount on energy costs. Studies show the addition of solar panels can increase a home’s value by as much as $15,000.
- New ConstructionSimilar to residential construction, the bottom line of a commercial project ranges far and wide. For example, while West Coast five-star hotels demand $577-$850 per square foot, a more conservative commercial office lands at the lower end of the spectrum of $313-$378.
- LandscapingThe purpose behind masking telecoms infrastructure is to make it look good—not just for a year or two, but potentially for decades. Contractors must take care to build structures that will hold up to sun, wind, rain, and even vandals. Finishing touches like landscaping, waterproofing, durable paint, and decorative architectural components need to be part of the plan from the start.

- SidingWith inflation and a supply shortage at the forefront of our minds, it’s safe to assume that the cost of most building materials has increased. Siding, for example, experienced a five to ten percent increase this past year alone. Similarly, sawmills slowed production with the onset of the pandemic, anticipating reduced demand. But demand remained strong, and lumber mills couldn’t meet expectations. As a result, lumber prices have tripled. All of this data points to the necessity of having seasoned contractors that know how to maintain quality and durability with your budget in mind.
- Residential Roof RepairKeep in mind that contractors aren’t the only ones seeing the project through. Architects, engineers, and electricians may be involved, each with its own fees. For example, landscaping may cost $70-$150 hourly, while roofing hovers around $5,000-$10,000 in total.

- InsulationScheduling. No one wants to plan to move in before Christmas only to be told they can’t move in until Easter. Experienced project managers are familiar with how long each step of a project really takes. Just as important, they can fit together the overlapping schedules of different processes, like plumbing, electrical, and insulation installation, to carefully compress timeframes without compromising the outcome.
