You almost hate saying it but its true “you get what you pay for.” Especially in today’s economy everyone is looking for a great deal but sometimes it can be too much. While talking to a fellow contract of the industry we started to share some horror stories that we have seen which leads me to “you get what you pay for.” Unlicensed and unethical contractors have influenced the Orlando Remodeling and Orlando Addition market. Yes, everyone is looking for a great deal and you can definitely get one for your project, but beware of “its too good to be true.”  For example, if the average cost of a job is $5000 today you should be able to get it for $4000, not exact number just examples. But if a contractor comes in with $2000 “this is too good to be true.” It comes down to its just not realistic and doesn’t have the customer’s best intentions in mind. Some of the horror stories that we exchanged of Orlando Remodeling projects were contractors coming in at these extremely low figures just to win the job, collect the deposit and never be seen again, or maybe start the job and leave a destroyed project. In a case I heard the contractor, if you even want to call them that, used materials he had picked up during trash day on other jobs, while quoting new materials. There are great deals to be had for your Orlando Remodeling & Orlando Addition project and shouldn’t be afraid to do them, just consider the realistic quotes and research the contractor before you award the project. Protect yourself and your hard earned money. If you have any question or would like a great but fair quote to compare to other quotes please schedule a free estimate with YorMar Construction & Development, Inc.

A current Orlando Bathroom Remodeling project that we are working on is an Orlando Addition. The owner was looking to create a second master, a bedroom with its own bathroom.

While speaking with a homeowner over the Orlando Remodeling of their house, they mentioned that they were fixing it to sell. They were going to take a hit but needed more square footage in order to have her mother-in-law moving to help watch the new baby. They needed to update the house, so investing more money into the house, to get it to an appealing state for buyers. Our conversation lead me to explain how they had a great floor plan to allow them to build an addition that would give them the extra room and playroom they would be looking for in their next house. So the money they would invest to sell would go to taking care of their square footage needs. Although an addition would be more than what they were looking to invest to sell, the total cost of repairs, selling, taking a hit, and buying would add up to more. Orlando Additions Projects are great way to gain that square footage you are after while not needing to take a hit on the sale of your home. This allows you to stay in your home until the market returns and you are able to get equity back in your home. Also, an Orlando Remodeling Project will bring new life to your home while giving you the feel of a new home without having to sell in today’s market.

One of the many options in today’s Orlando Green Remodeling Projects is the installation of a Solar Hot Water Heater. This is also a great way to turn an Orlando Remodeling Project green. A solar water heater is actually a very simple system. Using the existing water heater tank, a pump system and a solar collector are installed. The solar collector would be located on the roof of the house, with the pump system next to the water tank indoors. The pump system pumps cold water up to the solar collector that heats the water. It then returns to the pump system to be directed to the tank. The pump system will also circulate the water in the tank to maintain it hot. Electrical savings range form 20% to 30%. This in turn also lowers the carbon footprint of your home. Orlando Remodeling Projects have many different options to becoming a Green Remodel. With a combination of several options your monthly household bills can be dramatically reduced. Most people don’t realize that Orlando Green Remodeling can create overall savings, while in turn playing a large part in helping alleviate environmental impacts.
