Yovan Gabric | REALTOR®Trades and specialties
Renovation goes wrong most often at the boundaries between trades — the work nobody quoted because everyone assumed someone else had. This is the full map, grouped by category.
How to use this
Linked trades have a complete guide: scope, what drives the price, what a quote must contain, red flags, and what to check before the last payment. The rest are listed so you know what the specialty is called—more guides are added as they are needed.
Foundation, roof, walls, windows — where the expensive surprises live.
Drywall, paint, floors, trim. The work most homeowners actually book.
The highest-ticket rooms, and the two that most influence a sale.
Licensed work. There is no informal version of any of this.
Asbestos, mould, radon, water and fire. Credentials are not optional.
Where construction knowledge pays for itself.
Curb appeal and drainage — both of which move a sale price.
The people who prevent the expensive mistakes.
Finding out what you actually own, before you commit.
The short, sharp work that gets a house to market.
