The benefits of a full-time Project Manager

Posted on

For many projects there are a number of different tradesmen, craftspeople and other people, all working towards the same goal. And in order to ensure every different group of contractors, freelancers and technicians are working with the same set of instructions, a full-time project manager is often needed.

At first glance this profession might seem a little odd, but it will make sense by the end of this article, of that we have no doubt.

About project management

A project manager’s daily work involves organizing various divisions or departments, tracking progress, ensuring deadlines are met, and planning for future stages of development or renovation.

At the same time, a skilled project manager also serves as a bridge between the different working groups, allowing for seamless communication between different trades, skills and personalities.

When done right, project management ensures the work is completed on time, within the budget, and without issues or grievances for the customer, as well as the various employees working on the project itself.

Keeping a watchful eye and planning ahead

Projects without an acting project manager can easily spiral out of control, perhaps just in terms of the budget or scheduling, but often in more ways than one. This is because the electrician is great at doing electrical work, and the carpenter excellent at woodwork, but neither necessarily knows much about what the other one does.

This can lead to issues in terms of planning, such as situations where the carpenter can not continue work until the electrician has installed the wiring, but the electrician can not continue their work, before the plumber has done their part.

This can lead to unnecessary delay, higher costs and unhappy clients. A project manager will always stay on top of these details, to ensure every tradesman knows how and when they are required.

The anchor of the operation provides ease of mind

The project manager will always know who to contact with regards to any specific problem or challenge, and they will often be able to guide and provide council for customers looking to learn more about the inner workings of the project.

There is also something to be said for the ease of mind that comes along with having a project manager assigned. Just knowing that the client can always contact one specific person in order to learn about any part of the project can be a great relief.

Minimizing the risks

A good project manager will also minimize potential pitfalls and risks involved with especially larger projects. Their experience and education will have prepared them to account for the unexpected, to identify potential issues before they arise, and much more.

This allows them to always be one step ahead of the construction crew, and results in a smoother project with far fewer incidents.

From ensuring that the materials and equipment ordered are the correct ones, to making sure workers are properly knowledgeable about the client requirements, there are many ways to minimize risks, and a great project manager will make use of them all.

Tile installation

Posted on

At HandyForce we have many years of experience with tiling residential homes as well as commercial properties. This has led us to identify some common issues that people tend to have, as well as learn what concerns and questions people typically worry about.

So in order to make your next tiling project as smooth and painless as possible, we have created this short guide to get you up to speed with everything relating to tile installation. Enjoy!

Briefly about tiles

There are many benefits to using tiling in your own home, rental property, or even office  space. Tiles have a relatively long lifespan, and they can easily be cleaned and made to look as if new again.

We use tiles in many places in our homes, from the protective layers of tiles covering the wet areas in the bathroom, used as flooring or on countertops, or for lining our kitchen walls with tiles that provide a great look and even better hygiene.

At the same time, people have a large selection of materials to choose from, allowing everyone to find something that matches their personal tastes perfectly. Some of the most popular types of tiles include:

  • Ceramics
  • Porcelain
  • Glass
  • Steel
  • Mosaics

While there are other types of tiles, like marble, inlaid ones and more, the above are the most common, due to their relatively low cost, ease of installation, and long lasting properties.

How to get the best prices for tile installation contractors

If you are at a point where you know that you need help with your tile installation, then researching a few different companies is a great first step. By looking at what the different companies in your area have to offer, you might be able to limit your options already.

Of course the cost is a major concern that many people have, but it is important to be aware that an incorrectly done job can lead to future damage, and even hide certain structural issues as well.

Therefore, money should only be part of the overall equation when finding your next contractor for tile installation. You should also remember that the types of tiles can have a large impact on the overall cost for the project, so you should always be able to find something that matches your budget, while still looking great.

Arguably more important than the price, is the quality of work the contractors are able to deliver. At HandyForce we are proud to offer some of the best services in our area, due to our skilled and friendly workers that are educated and experienced in all types of tiling needs.

We are also aware that incorrect tiling can lead to health issues in certain areas, lower home valuations and other critical aspects, which is why we only deliver results of the highest quality, no matter the project.

Contacting one or more companies in order to get a quote can be a good next step, allowing you to hear more about what options you have available, as well as get a good feel of the type of people working in a given company.

What is a “Premier” renovation

Posted on

No two companies are the same. And at The HandyForce we fully believe that. In fact, we have a few unique policies and services of our own, such as our comforting One Year Guarantee, as well as an extended HomeCare Plan that makes it easy and convenient to be a homeowner.

Why not for everyone?

Unlike most other contractors, when it comes to our Premier Renovation services, we only work with clients we already have a relationship with. This might seem odd at first glance, but it is our way of ensuring a successful project every time, since this way we will know our client, their preferences and their levels of expectation.

Put another way, once we know you, we also know whether we will be able to deliver a result that is more than satisfactory, and we will know what it takes to achieve that.

For us, few things are more important than customer satisfaction, worker safety being one of them, which is why we prefer establishing a certain level of trust and relationship with our clients before completely changing their bathroom or remodeling their kitchen.

After all, these changes are rather permanent and expensive, which makes the need for perfection at first try even more important than usual.

Our different Premier Services

We offer extensive renovation services to our previous clients in three different categories: The basement, the bathroom and the kitchen.

For each of these areas in the house, we have skilled tradesmen with years of experience and a professional education, to ensure every project is completed in full compliance of any local or regional regulations or laws, and to ensure the quality is as good as possible.

Bathroom, Basement & Kitchen renovations

These areas are some of the most used rooms in every household, and also areas that needs to serve many different purposes.

From the kitchen being a safe space for the entire family where they can enjoy each other’s company while eating dinner, offering a quick and easy midnight glass of ice cold water, to the basement providing enough space for having guests over, these rooms need to be functional, but also inviting and beautiful.

A great basement not only serves its purpose, but also helps create a certain mood and atmosphere, whether you use it to house your teenage child, or perhaps just for storage.

Having a beautiful kitchen will not only make basic chores feel more manageable, but also help sell your home in case you decide to move.

Most prospective home buyers look at the kitchens and bathrooms as some of the major points of concern and interest. Everybody needs a functioning kitchen or bathroom, and at the same time as trends change, so do our tastes in design and decor.

At The HandyForce we can help shape and build your new kitchen, basement or bathroom, to not only fit your everyday needs, but also ensure you will get the best possible value for your money, whether you sell your house or use the rooms yourself.

Our One Year Guarantee

Posted on

At The HandyForce we believe in offering a quality service for each of our clients, to ensure their trust and to establish ourselves as a respected business in the community. All the work we perform is done to the highest standards, and we stand behind our decisions and our craft.

To make it easy for you to decide to put your trust and invest your hard earned money in projects run by us, we have come up with our unique One Year Guarantee.

In short you can expect to get all the help you need, if you against all expectations, should have any issues while we are working, but also up to one year after we have completed our work.

How it works

We believe in making it as easy as possible to understand our guarantee, which is why you are fully covered in up to one year after completion of the project.

If you experience any issues with any of the specifics we have been working on, we will be there shortly in order to fix the underlying problem, and of course perform the maintenance or repair job for free. It’s that simple.

Some of the things our guarantee covers:

  • Paint peeling
  • Paint discoloration
  • Door hinges being stuck
  • Cracks, chips, holes
  • Poor alignments
  • Creaking sounds
  • And much more.

No customer of ours ever needs to fear much however, as we are known for, and proud of, delivering one of the highest quality services in all of Ontario and the surrounding areas.

Still, it is our hope that with this policy, even the smallest concerns might be eliminated, so we can all continue on improving and maintaining your home to the best of our ability.

No hassle Policy

Not only do we offer this policy as the only one of its kind in the business, but we also extend this extra service to include a No Hassle Policy.

This makes it easy and convenient for you to get coverage and help, without us asking a lot of complicated questions, or requiring mountains of data and documentation.

This is not an exclusive contract for certain members either. All of our clients are covered by our One Year Guarantee, making it an attractive safetynet compared to other contracting companies out there.

How can we do this?

By offering an extended guarantee like ours, The HandyForce covers a wide range of potential issues, it might seem like a sure way to lose money over time. But that is not what we have found. In fact, our customers rarely if ever need to make use of this guarantee.

That is because our work is always performed by skilled tradesmen and craftspeople, who take pride in their work, and never compromise on quality or cut corners to save time, leaving very few mistakes and errors to be covered by the guarantee in the first place.

And since we also use products of a high quality, our customers can count on both the materials and the workforce being up to the task, every single time. That is our guarantee to you!

What Are the Benefits of Roof Maintenance?

Posted on

Roofs may be the most important part of any building that nobody ever looks up to. Your family is shielded from the elements by the roof of your house, whether it be hail, snow, rain, or anything else. Because it serves as a protective barrier, keeping your roof in the best possible condition is necessary.

The roof acts as a glue that binds together the other essential components of the building, such as the walls, the ceiling, and the foundation. You are ensuring the security of these essential components by protecting the roof, which protects these other components.

Here are the five benefits of roof maintenance.

Improving the roof lifespan

Even while roofs are designed to have a long lifespan, you may extend that lifespan even more by routine maintenance. A seemingly insignificant action, such as maintaining clean gutters, can make a significant difference. If you ignore the relatively minor issues that your roof is experiencing, you will eventually be forced to replace the entire unit.

How frequently should you inspect your roof? If you want your roof to last as long as possible, you should have it examined by a roofing expert at least twice a year at the very least.

Identify potential damages

Finding damage in its earliest stages is essential while doing roof inspections. The cost of repairing damage to a roof can quickly add up, so being able to spot the first indication of trouble is essential if you want to avoid going over budget. Nothing is more frustrating than being presented with a huge repair bill for the roof, especially when the expense might have been easily prevented by performing routine inspections.

Maintaining home value

Which of these two homes, one with broken windows and the other with roofing problems that have been ignored for months, would you be more interested in purchasing?

If you let the damage to your roof go unchecked for months or years, it may result in structural damage to your property, such as rotting beams and ceilings. These kinds of problems, if left unchecked, can eventually lead to other complications, such as the development of mold or an infestation of insects or animals. You may rest assured that every one of these issues can potentially lower the value of your house.

Energy efficiency

You can create the most comfortable living environment with a quality roof, insulation, and ventilation system. A solid roof can be the key to maintaining a constant temperature in your home, resulting in minimal heating and cooling costs. A roof with adequate ventilation and insulation may protect against rain and snow and stop air leaks, effectively regulating the internal temperature.

Improve curb appeal

Every house that appears spotless has a roof that has been properly maintained. A damaged shingle or a roof with faded or sun-damaged paint is immediately off-putting. A roof may serve as the initial impression of a home; maintain it properly to enhance its appearance.

Conclusion

Do you want to maintain your roof design? You can draw many benefits from roof maintenance, such as energy efficiency, curb appeal, house value, etc.

The top benefits of renovating your home’s windows and doors

Windows and doors are two of the most important features of any home. Not only do they provide a view of the outside world and natural light, but they also play a crucial role in regulating temperature and protecting against the elements.

New windows and doors can make a big difference in the appearance of your home, and they can also help you save money on your energy bills.
