General contractors Nightmares!

With all the recent buzz about home renvaions and raising the value of your home people forgot a few things along the way.

They look for home renovation guy’s in all the wrong places. Most times they get caught holding the bag with a rip off. First thing customers should do is cut out the middle men. Middle men are making money and they sub all the work out, and it cost you more than think.

Deal with your home renovation contractor one on one! He can give you more bang for your buck that way. Example is if you have a middle man take care of hiring contractors you don’t know who is doing the work. A lot of times they will choose the cheapest company they can find, so they can make more money for themselves.

Don’t you want to get something for that extra $5000 you are spending. Abba’s Service will not sub your work out and we don’t even take sub jobs. So think before you plan your project and you can save big money! Abba’s Service does are best to keep people informed so stay tune by adding us to you favorites contractors.

Recently we did some estimates for people in the Oakville area! People payed good money and did not even get what they asked for. The middle man hired so really shabby contractors to do his work for him. They did not even finish the job. $250,000 down the drain because we will have to remove everything the customer does not like, “everything”.

This job will cost them about $100,000! Can you say that the middle man made out like a bandit. I frown on that kind of stuff. You would think that with all these new show’s on TV these day’s people would learn something. It is the same story every time.  50% down, tear it apart, Redo somebody’s work. Fun, exciting for me and most of all profitable.

At Abba’s Service we do are best the first time! Our motto “Done Right! First Time! Every Time! We are expensive but it is always worth it i the end. Visit are web site at http://abbasservice.ca for all your needs!

Finding perfect contractors!

Every day people search for the perfect contractor to do their home renovations in there home. A Quality General Contractor is easier to find, than a perfect contractor.

No company can say they are perfect! That is fact, not fiction! Any company that claims that they are perfect I would not hire to do any renovations of any kind.

There are things that a company is really good at, and there are some things that they are not the greatest at.

A company that says that you will get the best that they can offer is where I will spend my money. Another problem is customers expect to much some times from contractors. Even the great Mike Holmes gets people that are Quality contractors in a certain field to do some of the work. I doubt that all the work he does is with flawless. There might be a little bump here and there if you look hard enough at any job.
Don’t get it wrong Mike Holmes is good for the people, a contractor that does care about his people and friends. And he does a really good job.

People think by the way he talks is that he is perfect but I would beg to differ on that matter. Our company is Abba’s Service and our motto Done Right! First Time! Every Time! does not mean we are perfect either. Customers can expect a quality job, that is with out a doubt.

Any general contractor that says I will give you my best is a contractor that will try to give you everything he promised you. Don’t spend money on companies that say they will give you perfection. You will have a lot headaches, and a empty pocket book.

Abba’s Service is proud to offer this info about perfect contractors!

Real Estate is where the money is and it is easy!

Make money easy in any market flipping houses! The average investor knows that they can make money in almost anything they touch.

Flipping houses and apartment buildings is not a new thing that just started yesterday! In fact Abba’s Service from Fort Erie Ontario was doing it before all these new home renovation shows came out.

Real Estate agents can be really good and bad. If your looking for properties to make money they can help you find the right properties fast and easier than the search yourself will produce.

A tip for finding properties yourself would be to find a neighborhood that has more than one house for sale. Make sure all the homes on that street are in need of desperate repair. Buy them all one at a time!

Find a good contractor like Abba’s Service that will do all the renovation work for you.  Let the contractors make the need changes that are necessary for so you don’t have to bargain latter about asking price.

Renovate the property so it will be appealing to the first time buyer. If you renovate a hole street you can ask any money you wish for those properties. You will raise the value of the homes for the hole neighborhood . Sounds to be good to be true.

Whenever you take on something like this, put money aside so your contractor gets payed. Keeping your contractor happy will be key! It is hard to find good help these day’s.

By using one contractor you can save money and get really good idea’s. always get the contractor to look at jobs before you buy any property. They can give you a better idea what it will cost you for renovations.

Even though you are paying a contractor good money to do the work explain that you are flipping this house and offer bounces if you can get near your asking price.

Example 1. Buy a house for about $200,000 put about $60,000 in renovations in and sell the home at a mark-up of at least $380,000 you just made a profit of $120,000 on one hose. Now do it for the rest of the street.

5 houses at the price range will make you $600,000 for one years work. Not bad for someone that can’t find a hammer or know what measuring tape looks like.

You don’t even need to know what a minus sign looks like. All you have to do is make a company name and file your taxes.

The contractor will be happy also dealing with one client is easy and you will be good friends before long. You make him make money and he will be a your service always.

Try doing this for 5 years and use a good General contractor like Abba’s Service and can you say retirement! Why wait for the next gig when the best gig is in front of your eyes everyday! Abba’s Service is looking for only one good investor and we look forward to dealing with you. Hire Abba’s Service for all your home Reno projects and save big! Visit are web site abbasservice.ca

Abba’s Service can handle all your renovation needs!

Quality home renovation costs!

Top Quality contractors charge top dollar and nothing less. When you are budgeting for those costly updates to your home, make sure your estimates are on the money.

A basement renovation of about 1000 sq/ft would cost you around $10,000 just for drywall. Building walls add another $3,000. Bathroom at least $10,000 Laundry room another $8,000. Oh don’t forget the electrical $5,000 easy.

Of course this is a cheap renovation, It really depends on your taste. Trying to get it cheaper means the contractor will have to cut corners. What about permits! Better to get them first! You can get them yourself or we can get them for you. Permits alone can be a big hassle sometimes.

Master bathroom renovations with to of the line stuff will cost around $20,000 and up!

Vinyl Siding depends on the sq/ft, corners, sizes, colors. Standard White $1,000 $3,500 installed
don’t forget removal. $500.

When getting estimates, always remember to shop around get 2 or 3 estimates. If you see one guy a is lower than everybody else skip it! You will thank Me latter. That’s some good advise from a quality contractor.

Repair a garage door!

When it comes to garage doors trust Abba’s Service because we are one of the best. You need a professional when it comes to changing that torsion spring. I have seen some people get hurt really bad trying to tighten them springs. I also have seen people put doors in upside down. and take the old door off and expect me to come to their house A.S.A.P. after they can not do the job. it might look easy but it is not. So many home renovation guy’s will tell you to call a professional. Just ask around first. If you are going to try putting it in yourself be careful I don’t know you but I don’t wish you to get hurt neither.

If you are installing a garage door opener make sure you brace the door in the middle, or your door will bend in half and then you need a new garage door. Don’t try and fix a broken spring by yourself. Your sure to end up in the hospital. Just some very good advise you today! Abba’s Service a company that Care!

Mold in the House!

One thing you should remember is when working with mold, is to where a mask! After checking the visits to my web site it tells me that there was an individual that was recently working with mold dust in his or her home. They where probably, should have worn a mask. For what it sounds like they should be going to the doctor because they are not feeling that good. At Abba’s Service we have come accross this problem many of times will doing peoples bathroom renovations. If you think you have a mold problem contact somebody that knows before you go any father with those renovations. Mold can cause serious illness if not handdled properly. Mold can get into wood behind drywall in cracks and under tiles and in insulation. You need to remove it all for health reasons. If you don’t remove it first and i mean all of it you can have a lot of other isssues that can cause you more problems in the future.  Your health is everything and without that you definently no use to anyboday. Best advice for this week. Where a mask? Call a professional. Abba’s Service can handdle your problems! Click Here to view our site!

Sell your house fast!

There is a couple of keys to having your house sell fast even in tuff times. If your looking to get a biding war on your home this article is what you need to know.

The first step is making the exterior of the home look inviting. First get them to come inside to take a look at least. Curb appeal means more than you think! The next you need at least 2 bathrooms. One bathroom for everybody and another for yourself. The master bathroom should always be a spa washroom. When people come from work they need to relax. There is nothing better than sitting in a nice tub and lets just soak away them bad day blues. The next thing is update the kitchen. new cabinets  counter top and lots of storage goes along way.

If there is a basement make good use of it. update all wiring,plumbing and make a nice rec room or lounge. Another place for entertainment and relaxation. If the home is inviting to you someone else might like it too. If you finish these renovations and you like the new look enough that your thing of not moving now, put it on the market. It is probably worth more than you think. People love marble, real hardwood not laminate make sure all appliances go with the deal. People wish to move in right now! Make it appeal to the first time home buyers and people looking to upgrade. The less you do the more they will try to knock your price down.
