The average 30-year fixed mortgage rates has dropped to about 3.6%, so homeowners are looking to refinance as a way to get expensive home repairs or remodels they’ve dreamed of done before the holidays arrive.

No matter what your plans or project, Fall’s temps and conditions outside are changing quickly, making some repairs, additions or remodels a little more tricky. Before you begin, it’s a good idea to follow some helpful tips:

Know your budget and stick to it, always allowing a little extra for those surprise events that can occur when a wall or structure is opened up.

Make sure you’re using a licensed contractor for all your repairs, remodel, or new construction. What you might save up front otherwise could cost you a boatload in the end if your job isn’t done correctly.

And ask for references! Ensure that your contractor has experience in the work you’re planing and has a team of professionals that can meet all your needs. Among other things, for example, SW Construction has expertise in all areas of structural and foundation repairs, including dry rot. Because this is an area of specialty for us, we can often save you money and trouble in getting the job done right the first time.
