We all like to talk about the fun stuff with our rehab houses. We like to show the before and after pictures of our new kitchens with the shiny new cabinets and the stainless steel sinks and chrome faucets. The same goes for the other rooms. We like to brag on how beautiful and bright the lighting is in the living room and how much of a difference new fixtures can make in the bathroom. None of that will matter if it all goes haywire because you skimped on the plumber and electrician. Remember, the profit in flipping houses for profit will quickly disappear if you mismanage the rehab.
Always use a licensed electrician and always make sure the property is safe and secure. When we walk through a property, whether its bank repo homes or whether somebody lived in it and moved out, we want it to be secure. If there’s a light hanging by a thread, we will have to get it fixed up. You will need to check the service panel to see if it’s been overloaded with circuits. Can you add new breakers to the panel or is it maxed-out? Is it time to upgrade the service? Can you build on the electrical system that’s there or you have to replace it? I always defer the matter to my electrician because it is a safety issue.
We pay close attention to the lighting fixtures both inside and outside the home. We check for damages and we may install lights on the exterior to brighten up the driveway or yard at night. We may repair a damaged fixture, but far more often we do not fool with that. We just jerk it and put in a new one. Flats in Greater Noida / Flats in Noida / Flats in Ghaziabad / Flats in Delhi NCR.
Depending on the size of the bathroom and vanity mirror, sometimes we use decorative bulbs. We either use the light bar or side bars, depending on the room and the space. Men do not care about bulbs on vanity mirrors. Two of the bulbs could be blown and we would not care. But wives do notice this. So we have to be careful about it. We like to install what I call Hollywood lights. Those frosted globes, the big round ones that outline a mirror. Those tend to impress our people. Plus, hey, it makes them feel like a star. You ca not go wrong with that.
