As a follow up to last week’s blog about remodeling a property in a great location, I wanted to recommend five contractors that my clients have hired with great results. Everyone is different to work for and with, so you may experience different results. Some folks click and others do not. I am reporting on positive experiences from people I know first hand.

1. Mark Newman- Mark has completed some absolutely gorgeous remodels in town that I have seen with my own two eyes. I represented Buyers about four years back when they purchased an extremely run down condo in Old Town Park City. My clients had vision! The bones were incredible, especially for an Old Town property. Location was also a winner. So it was worth every penny to go full tilt on the project. Below are the before and after photos. Let me know what you think! He recently completed another remodel that was a true showstopper in a popular ski in ski out location in Old Town. Due to his quality and the owner’s vision, when this property goes on the market, it will be gone in a few hours. Mark’s contact info is pchandyhelp@gmail.com 435-655-5376

2. And then there is the client who is a real estate addict. Now on his fourth property in Park City, he is yet again in the midst of an enormous remodel. His wife is a saint. This guy has a knack for finding the diamond in the rough and in a great location. If we can just get him to live in a property for more than 18 months! He is really enjoying the contractor he is currently working with and reached out to me just to make sure I could let others know about Brett Griffiths at MIH Remodeling 801-358-2031. On the job oftentimes before 7 am, these guys work hard! I can’t wait to see this home remodel completed. The before and after photos below feature the last home they remodeled. They have great taste that resonated with the new buyers as that home sold to the first person who looked at it.

3. Want a high end complete home build? Matt at Russell and Co. in Salt Lake City will not disappoint. Currently building a gorgeous home for a client in Victory Ranch, and they are so incredibly happy with Matt. They should have their Certificate of Occupancy in early December. We are all chomping at the bit to see this stunner. Also available for remodels anywhere in the Park City area. Info@russellandcobuilders.com 801-253-6339.

4. Marley Construction Company-Derek Marley, is the contractor to call for seven figure remodels. His work is exceptional. Derrick brings his driving East Coast work ethic to the job with great subs and excellent craftsmanship. He has just finished what should be an award winning remodel on a historic home next to my home. I have watched the progress along the way in awe. His dance card is pretty full these days so book early. Derek@marleyconstuctionpc.com 435-615-7066.

5. For those of you who want great subs for floors and cabinetry, but want to handle the project yourself, like my clients who purchased a wonderful home in Park Meadows, here is who they recommend, and the work turned out spectacular. This pro builds cabinets by hand: M&M Woods mmwoods.com mccoyted@yahoo.com 801-362-3056. For a beautiful job on flooring try Infinity Flooring infinity-flooring.com .

You will do well when you sell your home if you can stomach a remodel, have vision, and purchase a property in a great location, whether it’s in a year or five years. Your property will stand out amongst the “lipstick on a pig” remodels that discerning buyers can see right through. Even if the market goes down and gets flooded with homes for sale, the quality remodels will sell first! If you would like more information about properties for sale in and around Park City that could use a little face lift, please contact me, I’m happy to help.
