When getting into a renovation project the first thing you should always make sure is that you have a contractor that can work
with you on your budget! Just hiring every contractor on your own can be a real nightmare! You should always ask for a copy of
their insurance. Can they handle your project from start to finish.
Some contractors sub everything out, Big mistake for the average home owner. You need a contractor that will work with you
just in case you will know where to call. Some contractors will do all the work themselves and just have people in other fields
check there work. The cost is to the contractor not you.
When doing any renovations the first thing you should do is insulation. The best insulation for all homes today is spray foam
insulation. Yes it does cost more but it saves money in the long run.
Dream Builders Partners is well qualified in all home renovations. Tiger foam is one of the best spray foams on the market today!
Not all spray foam products are the same though and it is important to know the difference. If it is a water based material forget it!
They break down over a period of time. There are many products that say they better than tiger foam but none of them can claim
the same things as tiger foam does.
When doing basement renovations you should start from the floor up! Make sure you put a good quality sub floor in. That has a
waterproof membrane under it. This can save you $20,000 in the future. If you have ever had a flood before you know exactly
what I am talking about. Drywall or gypsum board? Gypsum board by a country mile! No matter what your contractor tells you
never use drywall in a basement. Gypsum board is mold and mildew resistant, Basements are damp areas. Lots of heat loss from
here also spray foam in a basement will eliminate dampness and prolong your renovation project.
Another place for gypsum board is bathrooms never drywall there either! It cost more but you will be happy you did so. Laminate
or hardwood real hardwood always last 5-10 times longer, and use mold and mildew resistant paints! I hope these tips help you
with your projects and if you wish a free estimate please feel free to email hbethran@dbpconstruction.com we service all
