Top Requested Projects in Miami

Window replacement – Miami is blessed with exceptional weather throughout the year. Why not capture as much of it as possible with double-glazed windows that allow in the sunlight and keep out the heat? Modern windows are quite versatile in terms of aesthetics as well.

Not only can you choose an exterior style that coordinates around the exterior of the house but also individually customized the interior looks for each room.

Engineered or hardwood flooring installation – Over the past decade, advances in the manufacture and finishing of engineered and hardwood floors means that they can be used in a variety of spaces – kitchens, bathrooms and basements, for example – where previously they could not be used.

This utility has been embraced by homeowners and wood floors are now far more preferable to potential buyers than stone or tile ones.

Bathroom addition – If your family has outgrown your home to a certain extent but moving is not really feasible, try finding the room to add a small but fully functional bathroom. The financial investment is relatively moderate but the results can be truly significant in terms of comfort for your family and the harmony that it brings to the home.

One caveat – try to place it where a further room addition can add even more value to the house.

Front door expansion – When selling a home, a book is often judged by its cover. That is, a potential home buyer will have made a decision based on curb appeal alone before even entering the premises.

Adding a dramatic front door is one way to catch the eye of these people from the street and as they first approach the home.

Landscape makeover – Whether you choose to start by simply by adding a walkway, some planers and fire pit to an existing patio space or choose to go all out with an exterior kitchen, the process of making the backyard more useful both aesthetically and functionally is a great way to add real resale value to your home. With the amount of sunshine in Miami, you will be using it on a year round basis.

Do I Hire A Miami Handyman or A General Contractor?

Over the past decade, the city of Miami has grown by leaps and bounds. This means a lot of people looking to make ends meet in less than ideal circumstances. Some of these folks are destined to take odd jobs and do minor home repairs whether they are qualified or not. Local building officials in Miami and the surrounding Dade County area do their best to monitor these folks but inevitably some fall through the cracks. It is really up to the homeowner to vet the home remodeling people with whom they do business.

To this end, a homeowner should verify that a GC has the proper credentials to do the job that is required. Not only does this mean a general contracting license issued by Dade County but also verifiable business insurance and the deliverance of a forfeiture bond for the overall cost of the project. In short, your GC should have as much invested in your home remodeling project as you do. Otherwise, it is simply a crapshoot as to how the job will turn out.
