Why renovate?

More than ever, homes in the mature part of cities across Canada are now being renovated.

If you live in an older house, chances are you'll want to update or replace cladding, doors and windows at some point.  According to the Canadian Home Builders Association, exterior renovations can give new life to a tired home and reduce maintenance expenses significantly, plus save on rising fuel costs!

  • Everything old is new again.

  • Avoid the cost of relocation.

  • Home renovations have become more affordable.

  • We can make your present home work for you and your family.

Do's and don'ts of the renovation process:

  • Decide what it is you are trying to accomplish i.e. repairs or cosmetic.

  • Does the cost make sense - are you staying there or are you trying to upgrade to sell?

  • Do you have financing in place to handle the construction budget?

  • Have you checked with your Municipality to see if the construction falls within the zoning by-laws?

  • You need to make sure the contractor and you can get along - ask the contractor for a copy of his registration and liability insurance; if he has more than two employees he also needs to be registered with Workers Compensation. Make sure the contractor also shows you the building permit.

  • Have a clear picture of what you want to do.

  • Make a list of all the changes you want to make and ask the contractor to include them in the scope of his work.

  • Be prepared - if you make changes after the building begins it will cost you extra.

  • Make you decisions about color and types of trim etc. as early in the process as possible; delaying choices could slow down the construction.

  • The more thorough you are at the beginning the more you will enjoy the whole process!

 

 

In June 2005 we decided to add a piece on our home and business which is a Community Based Option.  In order to receive a license from the government, so the seniors could receive assistance, we had to have quite a few modifications done.  We then decided to add a piece on our home to give everyone more living space & larger bedrooms, another means of egress and a wheelchair accessible bath and shower as the Department of Health & the Fire Marshall required for a license for Mitchell's Rest Home.  We had a few contractors come to give us prices on this new addition and renovations.  Homes By Jodrey was one.  Dan was easy to get along with, he was very professional and we felt comfortable with him.  He made some really good suggestions on the changes we had to make. along with his prices being reasonable.  We had to build this addition and make all renovations with our seniors still living with us. His staff were very conscious of all here and made every effort to work around what we needed to keep our seniors safe. The project was finished on time and we've had very positive feedback from the Department of Health and the Fire Marshall about the work being done by Homes By Jodrey. Thank You Dan and your staff, it was a pleasant adventure and all looks fantastic!
