Tips For Remodeling


I read an article discussing the most important tips for homeowners embarking on the home remodeling adventure.  As professionals, we strive for excellence, professionalism, integrity, and craftsmanship.  Hence, the name…In doing so, many of these tips exist within our daily culture and interpersonal relations with our customers.  Sharing this useful information provides a platform for homeowners to build upon and learn from while finding the perfect building contractor for the next home project.
  1.          Talk to previous customers and ask questions about their unique experience.  In fact, E. P. I. C. Home Professionals, LLC encourages such interactions by providing each potential new client with a list of references.  Additionally, we encourage current customers to write positive reviews about our work on Talk of the Villages (TOTV), and we refer potential customers to TOTV to read what others are saying about us.
  2.           Request a detailed estimate that includes the scope of work.  We meet with our customers to discuss the project on a free estimate and provide an initial estimate detailing what will be performed.  Once we schedule a project, we consistently communicate with the homeowners and build lasting relationships.  Many of our customers are repeat customers, and many referrals come from word of mouth.  We keep our customers informed of schedules and any changes on an ongoing basis.
  3.          Know your reason for completing your renovation project.  So often we meet homeowners that do not have a clear picture of the end result they are hoping to achieve.  While we offer some insight, ultimately, the homeowner must know if the reason for the project lies in personal desires for long-term comfort in his/her home or if it is a means to turn a profit.  Your reason becomes your palette for design and material selections.
  4.           Ask questions.  Sam has 27 years of building experience in both new construction and remodeling.  He is 3rd generation builder, crafting alongside his grandfather and his father.  He earned his contractor license in 2010 and has been in business for himself since.  August 2013, Villages Home Professionals, LLC was formed and later changed the name to E. P. I. C. Home Professionals, LLC in June 2016.  Tara earned a Bachelor's Degree from St. Leo University in business management and Masters of Business Administration at Keiser University finishing in the top 20% of her class, earning a place in the International Honor Society. Tara has a passion for business and influencing people through positive interactions. She spent much of her career in leadership roles in the long-term care community. Sam and Tara merged their experience as builder and manager to create a successful family owned and operated business.  We specialize in remodeling projects including: lanai conversions/additions, kitchens, bathrooms, decks, patios/outdoor kitchens, doors and windows, custom trim such as wainscoting, cabinetry, painting, and other home renovations on an individual basis.  We are licensed, bonded, and insured. 
  5.           Trust your gut!  Can you trust the contractor?  From the moment we answer the phone to the completion of the project, we build relationships.  We use consistent sub-contractors with proven quality and work history.  We oversee all of our projects and coordinate our schedule to ensure quality outcomes.  We earn trust through honest communication and follow through on commitments.  We strive for mutual respect and personal accountability.

Are Homeowners Appreciating Their Homes? Home improvements add value to your home.  So, knowing which projects supply the greatest return on investment (ROI) might help you focus on those that make the most sense, especially when you are on a budget.  A friend of mine, Jody Straher, a loan officer with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation peaked my interest in learning more about appreciating a home's value since E. P. I. C. Home Professionals, LLC  specializes in lanai conversions, additions, and remodels. In fact, Colleen Kane published an article on CNBC recognizing the importance of determining the best home projects that supply the best return on investment.  While assimilating personal taste and preferences in your home's palette adds character, these changes do not always yield a favorable monetary return. Curb appeal turns peoples' heads!  Consider vinyl siding, if it improves the look of your home.  It generally yields a 89 percent ROI.  Ladies, ev

Sometimes, as builders, we forget that homeowners often see their homes through different lenses. Realizing this, we solicited questions from our audience.  The homeowners!  In today's world, saving money is important, and sometimes savings come in unexpected places.  Homeowner's insurance!  John Smith, State Farm Insurance Agent in Mt. Dora shed light on home upgrades that warrant discounts on homeowners' insurance policies.  Check out his website: myagentjohnsmith.com Discounts It is no secret roofs in disrepair can wreak havoc on a home.  So, roofs offer the greatest discounts on policies.  John explained that adjusters focus on discounting roofs replaced after 2003.  In surveying a home, adjusters look at how the roof is attached, and the type of roof such as a hip roof versus a gable roof, noting that each roof may vary, and discounts vary depending on the company.  He recommended getting a wind mitigation survey completed when a new roof is installed.  This d
