why choose a local, barrie based renovations company?

There are many reasons a customer would want to choose a local contractor or Renovations company over someone further from home. Here are the top five:

1- cost

when renovating, contractors need to supply materials. A local contractor will not only know where to find the most affordable deals, but they will know how to get them in a timely manner. If your contractor needs to pick up materials for your Bathroom Reno efficient use of their time cannot only lead to savings on the customers end, but a quicker completion of the renovation task at hand. Travel costs are usually not associated with local companies, but the company travelling hours per day and paying their employees to do so much factor that into their estimate.

2- pride

a local renovation company is more than likely owned and operated by someone living in that city. Often if a business owner is representing their own company and reputation, they are more likely to take pride in their work, which will directly affect the outcome of your project. The bigger company gets the more difficult quality control is to monitor.

3-knowledge

Knowledge of your area can result in a successful renovation in many ways. For example, in my personal subdivision, aluminum wiring was used as it was built in the early 70s. With this in mind, our electrician contacts are always prepared for the situation and know what to look for. This means having stock of aluminum to copper compatible materials, and knowing what common issues to look for. One of these issues often found in older builds is a homeowner will replace a 15 amp fuse with a 20amp fuse, to avoid fuses being blown, often when using a microwave or coffee maker. This is a serious fire hazard, and local contractors will know to look for these issues in your area. Another issue with houses at this age has to do with plumbing. Improper venting and train sizing with up-to-date appliances can present a real hazard. These are a few of the reasons a customer should be confident in their decision with a local contractor.

4-reliability

When using a local contractor, there's a good chance your friends or neighbours have used them before. This type of business is heavily based on referrals and from a customer perspective, if someone you know or trust has recommended a local contractor, you are more likely to have confidence the job will get done well and on time.

5- Familiarity with Local Regulations and Codes:

Local contractors are likely to be well-versed in the building codes, regulations, and permit requirements specific to your area. This can help ensure that your project complies with local laws and standards, reducing the risk of delays or issues with authorities.
