CONSTRUCTION
Framing
One of the most important elements of a sound structure is a good foundation. Starting with the foundation through the walls and up to the roof, ensuring the framing is installed plumb and square will set the stage for the remaining elements of the house. The processes done after framing will be more difficult, so building a good base is vital.
Plumbing
Water is essential to every household, whether it's for cooking or cleaning. From having the proper water pressure to ensuring the used water leaves your house safely, to understanding the pipes and where the water goes.
Electrical
It is important that electricity travels to all fixtures and device safety as to not pose a safety hazard. A complete understanding to the electrical codes and practices are a must to ensure a safe rental property for your tenants .
Heating & Cooling
These systems are important to put in place since it is a required by-law for landlords to provide heat to a dwelling unit that is rented or leased and that is normally heated at the landlord's expense so that a minimum air temperature of 21°C is maintained in all areas of the unit from September 15th to June 1st every year. Your tenants comfort will ensure the good tenants stay with you as long as you would like.
Flooring
When choosing proper flooring for a rental property, you need to select something that not only makes a place appealing and keeps its value but also holds up to use and possible abuse. Landlords need to choose flooring that works best for the property, and not necessarily what they would choose for their own homes.
Lighting
Proper lighting in a room can bring elegance and really add the finishing touches to a space. The proper amount of natural light mixed with light fixtures placed in the proper location can add a whole new dynamic to a room. It is especially important for rooms located in the basement as natural light may be limited.
Paint, Trim & Detailing
Although this may not be what you think is most important in your rental property, it is often what sells the space to a potential tenant. Keep paint, trim and detailing simple but elegant. Every tenant will have a preference, but neutral colours are a safe bet.
