Aubertin Home Improvement

Introduction: After decades in the construction business, and most recently after three years serving as a project manager for a local construction company doing high-end residential renovations, I am now focusing on consultation and project management for a range of residential renovation needs. There are three main categories of services I’m offering in this capacity: 1. Advice and consultation on renovations and home improvement projects 2. Renovation project management 3. Home “check-up” and maintenance assessments I describe these in more detail below. I’m inspired to offer these services for two reasons: These are strengths I have developed throughout my career, and they respond to questions and concerns clients have often brought to me. I’m offering my skills for a time-based fee, in a way that is totally aligned with client interests and focused on client needs, all while avoiding the significant markup of a general contractor or the risk of a job being rushed or underattended to meet a profit margin. Description of services: ADVICE AND CONSULTATION ON RENOVATIONS AND HOME IMPROVEMENT I provide advice and guidance on how best to go about doing work on your home. For example: --Help you establish a priority list or optimal sequence for various components of a renovation, while considering your needs, how much you plan to spend, what parts of your home will need attention soonest, where investment will return the most value, and other factors. If you have multiple ideas in mind or are weighing competing issues for repairs or upgrades, I can help you prioritize and come up with a holistic plan that meets your needs and budget. --Help you plan and start a project: Work with you to draw up a rough schedule, timeframe, and budget for the work --Help you think through design elements and answer preconstruction questions about what you need to choose and purchase for the project Vet subcontractors and help you decide who to hire--and provide advice on keeping control of the payments and ensuring quality once the work is underway RENOVATION PROJECT MANAGEMENT In addition to the above advice and consultation, I: --Manage the project overall to coordinate all the phases and keep everything on schedule and moving forward --Lead you through the preconstruction process --Provide on-site supervision of subcontractors and coordinate schedules among them as needed --Anticipate and bring questions to you to answer as work is underway --Manage and track change orders as they occur in the process --Assess the work and ensure it meets quality standards before payments are made HOME "CHECK UP" AND MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT (for your current or prospective home) I provide a “check up” on the health and upkeep of your home. I can help assess the state of repair and life left in everything from windows, to fixtures, to your roof, and--considering what your priorities are and what will need attention when--work with you to develop a short-, medium-, and long-term to-do list. I can also provide this consultation service in the process of your home-buying search, to help you interpret a home inspection report and consider the costs and implications of any issues it raises, or accompany you to see the prospective home and answer any questions and provide my assessment as you consider the purchase.
