Planning a home improvement project can be exciting but also financially daunting. The good news is there are plenty of options to make your dream upgrades more affordable. Here are some expert tips to help you get the most out of your budget; while also ensuring you’re working with a reputable contractor.
Financing Done Right
When it comes to financing your home improvement project, partnering with the right contractor is crucial. Most of our customers enjoy the flexibility of having financing options tailored to meet their needs, making it easier to achieve their home improvement goals. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Multiple Options for a Host of Credit Ranges: A good contractor will work with lenders who offer flexible financing options tailored to a variety of credit profiles. Most of our customers enjoy financing plans to bring their vision to life without breaking the bank, even if they do have cash on hand.
Maximize Your Approval: If you’re approved for more credit than you need, consider addressing other home needs. For example, if your roof needs repair and your windows are drafty, tackling both projects at once can save time and money in the long run.
Protect Your Personal Information: Your contractor should never record sensitive information such as your date of birth or social security number. A trustworthy company, like PJ Fitzpatrick, ensures all personal details from your application are securely transferred directly to the lender, and will never ask for your personal information via email, text or over the phone.
Ask About Specials
Timing can play a big role in how much you spend on your project. Here are a few ways to save:
Rebates and Incentives: Look for local, state, or federal rebates, especially for energy-efficient upgrades like windows or doors. PJ Fitzpatrick’s team can help you identify and take advantage of these opportunities.
Material Overstock: Sometimes, contractors have excess materials that they’re willing to offer at a discount. You might just get lucky and find the perfect fit for your project.
Seasonal Deals: Contractors may offer discounts during slower months when crews have more availability. Reach out to PJ Fitzpatrick to learn about seasonal promotions that could significantly reduce costs.
Working With A Reputable Contractor
Choosing the right contractor isn’t just about affordability—it’s about peace of mind and getting the job done right the first time. Here’s how to ensure you’re in good hands:
Check Reviews: Before signing a contract, research the company’s reviews. Customer feedback is an invaluable resource for assessing the quality of work and customer satisfaction. There’s nothing worse than having to pay to get the job done twice.
Company Longevity: Consider how long the company has been in business. PJ Fitzpatrick’s decades of experience not only reflect a history of excellence but also guarantee they’ll be around to support their customers long after the job is complete.
Warranty Policy: Customers should expect their contractor’s work to be covered under warranty. It’s essential to inquire how the company handles issues post-installation to ensure any problems are resolved promptly and effectively.
