Hello, Mike here with your Homeowner Tip of the Week!

Just got the keys to your new home? Congrats! That urge to make it "yours" is strong.

My top tip: don't rush into big renovations. Live in your new space for a bit. You'll learn where the sun hits, how you actually use rooms, and what truly needs changing versus what just seems different. This "pause and observe" approach ensures your first personal touches are the right touches, making your new house feel like home, perfectly.

What's the very first thing you're dreaming of personalizing?

Hello! Mike here with your Homeowner Tip of the week!

Why "Be Prepared for Changes" is Crucial:

Hidden Surprises can happen on any job and unfortunatelythere is no way to predict them. Once walls are opened up, floors are pulled back, or the ground is excavated, you can discover all sorts of unexpected issues:

* Old wiring/plumbing: K**b and tube, galvanized pipes, or simply outdated systems that don't meet current code.

* Structural issues: Rotting wood, foundation cracks, pest damage, or inadequate framing.

* Unforeseen water damage: Behind walls, under floors, or in the base

Keeping some room in your budget for these surprises can help ease your stress!

Hi Mike here with your Homeowner Tip of the Week! We are talking about Permits! Thinking about transforming your home?

Permits are essential for safety, ensuring your project meets local building codes, and protecting your investment. But here's the key: they take time!

⏰ Why Plan Ahead for Permits?

Avoid Unwanted Delays: Permit processing can vary greatly depending on your project's scope and local regulations. While some smaller projects might be reviewed quickly, larger renovations can take weeks or even months for approval.

Steer Clear of Stress & Fines: Starting work without the necessary permits can lead to stop-work orders, unexpected costs, and even fines. Nobody wants that!

Peace of Mind: Getting the proper permits means your renovation is safe, sound, and officially recognized, adding value and confidence to your home.

At Moncrief Home Renovations, we're here to guide you through every step, including navigating the permit process. Let's plan smart from the start to keep your renovation smooth and on schedule!

Hello Mike here with your Homeowner Tip of the week!

Summer is a great time for exterior updates, but timing matters. Staining or painting your deck, siding or trim during a heat wave can cause the finish to dry too quickly and leading to port, adhesion, bubbling or even uneven coverage for the best results schedule these projects during milder temperatures ideally early morning or late afternoon to avoid direct sun whenever possible.

Hi, Mike here for your Homeowner Tip of the Week!

Hot summer days = higher energy bills. But small upgrades like better insulation, sealing drafts, or swapping out old windows can help keep your home cool and your costs down.

Bonus: Ontario has rebates to help with these upgrades. Check out what’s available:
