Adding Tile to Your Home Can Improve Sale Value
If you are looking to make improvements to your home or want to add something to help sell your home fast, replacing or adding tile can be a welcomed project to any home. Not only is it cost effective, but it is also not overly time consuming and you can save even more time by hiring the help or an expert.
The smallest of imperfections can ruin any tiling project so you want to make sure you hire someone who can get the job done properly. A lot of the time the store you purchase the tiles from can recommend professionals in your area to help, or at least are aware of which you should avoid.
You can get a good deal from a carpenter or other building or renovation expert that does not specialize in tiling, but if you want to ensure the job is done right so you can sell your home fast, it is best to use the services of a true tiler.
When you initially contact the tiler, it is good practice to find out how long they have been in business, anything over 3 years is always a good sign, references should be requested and checked to vouch for the quality of work. Whilst pictures of completed work are always a good place to start, viewing the work in person is a good idea, although not always easy to achieve.
In order to get the best deal, you want to interview more than one tiler and get multiple quotes, if they are way out of your budget, don’t waste your time and move on to the quotes within your range. Make sure you let the tiler know you have a few offers so they know the need to give you a realistic bid.
If you really want to go with one person but they are quoting you too high beyond your budget, ask the workman if they can think of any way they can bring the price down through cutting the cost – he might recommend you change the tiles you intend to use to a good standard of tile that doesn’t cost quite as much, he might appreciate your involving him in your plans for the project.
One way of reducing the cost is by getting hands on yourself. Maybe you can cut the cost of paid labor by doing part of it yourself, ask the advice of your tiler for any way he can recommend if necessary.
There are many ways you can get a good deal through a tradesperson, remember that the initial quote is not always final and can often be negotiated. A few small ways of saving money can all add up and help you sell your home fast.
