December 26, 2018 – – Florida based Safety Harbor Home Pros (SHHP) is pleased to announce that they have recently expanded their construction and renovation services to Safety Harbor, and the surrounding areas.

“Whether you are a homeowner that simply wants to remodel your house, or a real estate agent with plans to upsell a property and earn more profit, our aim is to provide quality and reliable home renovation and improvement services,” says Nicola Mitchel of SHHP.

The company’s website at https://safetyharborhomepros.business.site/, explains that they offer an array of construction services and solutions, from general home renovation, basement finishing and upgrading, outdoor deck building, kitchen and bath remodeling, man cave building, to home and garage expansions. Their website also contains a list of useful tips and guidelines on how homeowners can further save money when it comes to renovation costs.

“The most important factor to consider before renovating a house is having a fixed budget. We suggest homeowners list down all the work that they need doing and allocate more money on the areas that they want to be prioritized. Basically, one must do thorough research, set a pre-planned budget, and try to stick with it,” says Mitchel. According to her, it is very important to ask for a professional’s advice and allocate at least 10-20% in excess of the total budget for any unexpected expenses during the renovation period.

It is also crucial to properly identify the scope of the renovation project, to minimize costs, SHHP recommends not to replace anything that isn’t broken. “Do not just dismantle a fully functioning cabinet or a countertop that has no crack on it. If in doubt, ask your chosen contractor and they will be able to advise you on the things that can still be salvaged and recycled. Do not blow up your budget by trying to replace everything with a new one,” she says.

Once the renovation budget and the scope of the work are set, homeowners can then start to research on the materials to be used. Generally, using locally available home furnishing are more economical than to import ones from abroad. If the construction schedule is tight, lead time due to air/sea freight transportation must be considered. “However, you can ask your contractor if they can help with sourcing out similar alternatives to your preferred materials. They usually have a wide network of suppliers where they receive special contractor discounts. Being flexible not only in terms of budget, but also in opting for material alternatives, will help you save more money during the renovation process,” Mitchel says.

Homeowners can also choose a cost-saving theme for their renovation projects, during the past few years, minimalism has been a very popular trend in the interior design industry, mainly due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. By opting for a minimalist theme, natural airflow will be improved and spaces will look brighter and larger. Some of the other characteristics of a modern, minimalist house design, include simplicity in form and function, uncomplicated use of cladding and wall finishes, open and light-filled spaces, simple detailing, and strategic use of cost-effective building materials.

Lastly, homeowners must hire a reliable and honest contractor who has a team of house renovation experts. Those who are living in the vicinity of https://goo.gl/maps/j96dfDQqneJ2 may narrow down all the construction companies in the area, schedule a meeting, and request for quotations and cost estimates from them. While the end-goal is finding the contractor with the most affordable services, homeowners should also consider the company’s reputation before signing on any agreement. A simple Google search is one of the many ways in finding reviews and recommendations nowadays. Moreover, ensure the legitimacy of online testimonials by directly asking people about their first-hand experiences in dealing with the chosen company.

Homeowners who are looking for a remodeling contractor in Safety Harbor and the neighboring areas may visit SHHP’s website for more details. Clients may also call to set up an appointment with one of their specialists, where they can also take advantage of the company’s free renovation estimate services. Lastly, interested parties may go to https://www.pressadvantage.com/organization/safety-harbor-home-pros to know more about SHHP’s latest news and important announcements.

December 26, 2018 – – Largo Home Pros, a general contractor, has announced the expansion of its home remodeling services to Largo, Florida. As a general contractor with years of experience in the construction and remodeling of homes, they are able to offer advice on the best ways to improve a home or enhance its value. Those who need more information about the services provided can go to their website at https://largohomepros.business.site/.

A Largo Home Pros spokesperson says, “We have expanded our home remodeling services in Largo and surrounding areas. This means that homeowners can come to us with any of their home remodeling ideas and we can sit with them and discuss the possibilities. We can also give advice on the remodeling project that could be the best for your home, your situation and your preferences. You can call us or visit our office from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.”

One project that will increase the value of the home is to create a man cave. This will usually provide a high return on investment (ROI), especially if the basement is converted into a man cave. The basement is usually used for storing things like old furniture and the like. However, it can be converted into a space where someone can enjoy some free time. And aside from the basement, there are other places in the home that can also be transformed into a man cave such as a rarely used garage, a shed, and more.

Largo Home Pros advises homeowners that they should make sure that the ROI for the remodeling project they have chosen should always be high, especially for those who have a limited budget. Thus, it would a be a good idea to go through each element of a project and consider everything that would be needed so that all possible expenses are added up to obtain the total cost and this can be compared with the budget. Homeowners would not want to be in the middle of a project only to discover that their budget has almost run out. This opens up the possibility of the homeowner compromising and allowing the use of substandard materials or worse, temporarily shelving the project.

One of the most commonly remodeled parts of the home is the kitchen. This is because most people consider it to be the most important room in the home, being the center of a family’s daily living. This is where the family and guests often gather together to socialize, cook and eat. The homeowner would therefore want to have an impressive kitchen as guests would often look at it and possibly even make a comment about it.

Before proceeding with a kitchen remodeling project, however, it is necessary to consider everything that will be needed. For instance, if more space is envisioned, perhaps some structural changes will be required. Largo Home Pros experts can offer advice on these so that the appropriate budget can be determined. Those who want to visit their office can look up their Google Maps page at https://goo.gl/maps/8ojFNZrZL812.

And then there is the bathroom, which is also an important part of the home. Having a clean and good looking bathroom is likely to be a good remodeling project with high ROI. Just like the kitchen, home buyers look at the bathroom and often make their buying decision based on their impression regarding the kitchen and the bathroom. And just like with the kitchen, it would be necessary to consider all the details of a bathroom remodeling project.

The spokesperson says, “Whether you want to customize your Tampa area home to match your needs, or simply want to enhance its resale value, home remodeling projects can be exciting. Contact Largo Home Pros today and kick start the process of creating a home design that matches your needs and budget if you need any answers on how to enhance your home’s resale value.”

Largo Home Pros is providing free estimates for home renovation, construction and general contractor services to the Tampa, Florida area including residential construction, home remodeling, and home repair services. More information about their services can be gleaned by visiting their website or by going to the web page https://www.pressadvantage.com/organization/largo-home-pros.

December 26, 2018 – – Saint Petersburg Home Pros, a home remodeling service and general contractor based in Florida, is pleased to announce that they are expanding their services and providing their Home Remodeling Service in St. Petersburg. The company, at https://saintpetersburghomepros.business.site/, provides free estimates for home construction, renovation & general contractor services to the Tampa, Florida area. This includes home remodeling, residential construction and home repair services. With their new expansion, they are now also eager to serve the community of St. Petersburg.

Contacted about their services, Abigail Avery, a representative for Saint Petersburg Home Pros said, “We are here to provide all the the necessary services to provide ideal living spaces to enhance our clients lives. We have years of experience in the industry, and we provide a variety of services so that people can achieve the exact results they require. We provide free estimates so that you can figure out exactly what you can afford, without the unnecessary worry about unexpected costs. Once you know what you want, we set about doing it. We do complete home renovations, kitchen and bath remodeling, basement finishing, deck building, home additions and detached garages.”

In Saint Petersburg, they can be found on Google Maps at https://goo.gl/maps/TTH9nL5gnCq, where there has been a recent upsurge in the number of homeowners who are looking to remodel their homes for a range of different reasons.

Trent Jacobs, a Tampa homeowner and former client of Saint Petersburg Home Pros said, “I recently bought a house. You can only live so long in an apartment with one child and another on the way. While my wife and I did like the house, we wanted several changes done. I wanted to replace the garage and build myself a mancave, and my wife wanted a deck out back. A friend of mine recommended Saint Petersburg Home Pros, so I got in touch with them. They came in, checked out the house and then they provided a quick estimate. We agreed to it and it took less than a month to complete. I had the mancave I wanted to have some time for myself, and my wife had the beautiful deck she wanted. We are incredibly satisfied with the services and heartily recommend them to anyone.”

On the topic of reasons for home renovation or remodeling, Abigail said, “Obviously, people want to customize their homes to their specifications. Make it the ideal place for them to live, or the place they want to raise a family in. You can’t always buy a house that fits your needs exactly, so people renovate and remodel to make their current house a home. If you want to increase the value of your Saint Petersburg home, or get it ready to put it on the market, what you want to do is renovate it, this allows you to maximize the value and therefore, the profit from a sale to ensure that you get a return on your housing investment. One of the most challenging things to do, especially on a limited budget is to determine which remodeling projects give you the largest return on your investment.”

Another client of the company, Lisa Sherman from Saint Petersburg, says, “Saint Petersburg Home Pros did a complete renovation of my home. They were extraordinary and very professional throughout the whole process. They were always punctual, and didn’t cause any problems. The final product is absolutely gorgeous and even better than I expected. I would recommend them to anyone looking to make their home their own living space. Everything was done on budget and exactly to our specifications.”

Remodeling a home can be fun but it is a very involved project. However, it is not a DIY project, it requires the services of experienced professionals who have the skills and knowledge needed to complete the project. Those interested in renovating or remodeling their home should reach out to a reputable company like Saint Petersburg Home Pros.

As a final note for homeowners, Abigail added, “You want the best for your house, and we want to give you exactly that. If you’re interested in our services, you should get in touch to see how we can help you to get started with your home remodeling project.”

More information about Saint Petersburg Home Pros can be found at their Press Advantage Media Room, it is located at https://www.pressadvantage.com/organization/saint-petersburg-home-pros.

December 26, 2018 – – Dr. Umbareen Mahmood, a Board Certified and double Ivy League trained New York based Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, is pleased to announce that she is opening her new practice. She employs both surgical and non-surgical techniques tailored to the individual patient and is excited about providing her services to patients in her own practice.

When contacted about her decision to start her own practice, Dr. Mahmood said, “Well, it’s been a long time coming. Back in September, I decided it was time to move on from the practice where I had been helping patients by performing various surgeries. Over the following weeks, when I was exploring all options, I realized that a lot of things didn’t seem like the right fit for me. I have a clear image on how I want to practice medicine and take care of patients, so I realized the best way to do this was to start my own practice.”

In her new practice, she offers a wide variety of treatments and procedures. Everything from abdominoplasty (more commonly known as a ‘tummy tuck’) and liposuction, breast surgeries including breast reduction, breast lift, and breast augmentation, to treatments for gynecomastia. In addition, she also provides nonsurgical procedures including Botox and dermal fillers, along with services targeting skin issues, such as scars and various lesions. View her Facebook page for more details about her practice and to contact her with additional questions.

On the topic of the services she provides, Dr. Mahmood said, “As a plastic surgeon, I operate from head-to-toe. I perform both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. I’ve performed a lot of cosmetic breast and body surgeries such as breast augmentations, breast lifts, tummy tucks, and liposuction. But I’ve also performed a lot of reconstructive procedures. During my time in the plastic surgery field, I’ve seen a lot of women who were born with breast abnormalities, women with significant breast asymmetry, patients unhappy with their initial reconstruction and want a revision, among many other things. Other examples of reconstruction include patients who’ve had treatment for skin cancer and desire advanced reconstruction by a plastic surgeon, often when it’s on the face or other cosmetically sensitive areas. Nearly every form of plastic and reconstructive surgery is within reach and it’s a privilege for me to be able to provide that for my patients.”

Amia Carter, a former client of Dr. Mahmood, said, “From the first consultation to the surgery date, Dr. Mahmood was great to work with. She explained everything very clearly and answered every question I had. I heartily recommend her to anyone considering surgery – I had a breast augmentation, liposuction, and Botox and had great results across the board, while still looking natural. If you are considering plastic surgery, contact Dr. Umbareen Mahmood.”

A review of Dr. Mahmood’s services left on her website reads, “I’ve been thinking about breast augmentation for the last 4-5 years after I had my son. I constantly postponed it as I wasn’t sure about the complications, recovery time and to be honest I simply did not know who to go to. When I found Dr. Mahmood I had no doubts that I was doing this. She made me feel confident in the procedure and the recovery time, I had no doubts that all would be well. The second thing that impressed me besides her confidence and knowledge was her age. She is young, intelligent, detailed oriented and beyond professional. My results are excellent…”

Dr. Mahmood has a lot of experience, not just in her field, but also in the medical industry as a whole. She has undergone extensive training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of South Florida. In addition, she has also worked at several prestigious institutions such as the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, FL, and was actively involved in the medical care of veterans at two large Veterans’ hospitals. Furthermore, she has also written and published several medical articles relating to the field of plastic surgery.

In addition to her Facebook page, Dr. Mahmood’s website, http://drumahmood.com, has even more detailed information about all the services she provides, along with other testimonials from her clients. Schedule your free consultation today by calling, (917) 426-2936.

December 26, 2018 – – Florida based Pinellas Park Home Pros (PPHP) has recently expanded their construction and renovation services into Pinellas Park and the neighboring areas.

The contractor’s website at https://pinellasparkhomepros.business.site/ explains that they are offering a wide range of remodeling services, including total home renovation, basement finishing and upgrading, yard deck installation, kitchen and bathroom upgrading, man cave building, detached garage addition, and room/house expansion.

“As part of our ongoing public information help, we have recently issued some useful tips to homeowners on how to find a reliable home improvement service provider,” says Lisa Johnston of PPHP.

According to PPHP, the first step is to create a list of nearby remodeling companies and take note of their expertise. “You can get recommendations from friends who have recently had renovations, search the internet for companies on specific areas such as https://goo.gl/maps/NNPpDgALf6H2, check out Google reviews, and join construction-related groups and forums online,” she said. Only consider companies who can provide basic information or some form of references, like an official website and ones with a strong social media presence/following. Excellent customer service is one important factor, and this will show up on how the company responds to comments and inquiries on their social media platforms.

Secondly, potential contractors need to be experts on the trade that the homeowner requires, they should also provide an extensive list of their previously completed projects. Normally renovation companies keep a list of the jobs that they have completed over the past three to five years. Moreover, homeowners can request for at least ten of their latest project references, together with before and after photos to assess the quality of their work.

“Once you have narrowed down the list of potential contractors, using the first and second criteria, it is about time to know more about their license and certifications. Ensure that the companies have proper and valid insurance policies for both your property and for their on-site workers,” says Johnston. Her advice is to immediately cross out the ones who are unable to provide the right credentials, or those who are taking a long time in submitting the required documents.

The next step in finding a reliable contractor is to directly call the references that they have provided. This is a very common industry practice that enables customers to verify the legitimacy of the projects. Ask important questions, whether the contractor finished the project on-time, if they consistently maintained the cleanliness on-site, or if they were given reasonable and transparent pricing details from the get go.

“Furthermore, if the contractor has an ongoing renovation project, or has just recently finished a project, you can schedule a site visit to personally see the quality of their work,” she said. Depending on the scope of the project, watch out to see if they are using cheap materials, or if they have subpar working practices such as poor seams and edges of countertops, paint runs/splatters on the floor, crooked tiles, poorly cut tiles, wall to floor separation, floorboard cracks, concrete wall cracks, the obvious results of a bad job.

“Finally, you may now ask for a project bid from the few contractors that are left on your list. Schedule an appointment with each of them and thoroughly explain the scope and details of your home renovation works. After the consultation, ask them to send a brief proposal that contains a rough estimate of the total cost, the types of materials that they plan to use, and a definite construction schedule and timeline,” she added. Clients should remember that it’s not always the best decision to go for the cheapest one. Sometimes, the quality of materials and excellence of the workmanship should matter more than the price.

In conclusion, it all comes down in finding an expert and ethical contractor with a reasonable price tag. “Research, plan, and take your time before signing on any contractual agreement in order for you to make the best decision with regards to your future dream home,” says Johnston.

Homeowners who are looking for a remodeling contractor in Pinellas Park and the surrounding areas may visit PPHP’s website for more details. Clients may also call to set up an appointment with one of their specialists, where they can also take advantage of the company’s free renovation estimate services. Lastly, interested parties may go to http://www.pearltrees.com/safetyharborhomepros, to know more about PPHP’s latest news and important announcements.

December 26, 2018 – – Pensacola, FL. – Sean K. Quigley, Pensacola Certified Public Accountant, offered his analysis and commentary earlier this month on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at Pensacola LEADers, the city’s oldest networking group. He discussed some of the opportunities and pitfalls of the Act as it applies to individual and business taxpayers. The new law contains the broadest, most sweeping changes to tax law since the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

“The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduces tax rates for both corporations and individuals and adds a new deduction for pass-through business income that hopefully will serve to stimulate economic growth. It also makes taxpayer-friendly changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax and doubles the estate tax exemption,” said Quigley.

“There is also another side to the coin, however, as the act also eliminates or curtails many widely-used deductions, including home mortgage interest and state and local taxes,” Quigley advises. “My goals are to get people thinking now about what will impact the tax returns they file next year, and to explore with them what actions will enable them to take full advantage of the opportunities Congress has given us.”

Sean K. Quigley joined Brown Thornton Pacenta and Company in 2005 and was promoted to partner in 2009. He has over 25 years of experience in public accounting, with clients in many different industries. He acts as a trusted advisor to his clients regarding accounting, tax, and other business-related matters.

December 26, 2018 – – Pronto Tax School, Inc., an approved education provider with the California Tax Education Council (CTEC) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agency, has launched a new cryptocurrency tax course for investors. In recent years, more people have been investing in cryptocurrency, but to start investing in something, a deep and proper understanding is definitely a must. That’s why Pronto Tax School, an online tax school on a mission to make the lives of tax professionals easier and more profitable, is providing a new and complete course called “Cryptocurrency Taxes: The Fast and Easy Way”, a cryptocurrency taxes course for investors.

They believe that the complications with cryptocurrency are causing a lot of problems in the crypto and blockchain community, through this course, the company has a main goal of educating, and making cryptocurrency investors more confident and comfortable with crypto taxes. The instructor of the course is Joshua Azran, a visionary leader with proven expertise in public accounting, corporate finance, strategic management, financial restructuring, business valuation, management consulting, tax preparation, tax planning, business development, and all financial aspects related to cryptocurrency/blockchain technology. Joshua is an experienced individual when it comes to cryptocurrency, and has participated in the cryptocurrency/blockchain revolution since the very beginning.

Joshua is also the founder of the financial agency, a full-service CPA firm serving businesses and individuals in the areas of accounting, tax, audit and advisory services. Azran Financial additionally offers outside controller services, financial reporting and analysis, tax compliance and advisory, audit/attest, transactional advisory, forensic accounting, business valuation and consulting services.

Azran Financial is a leading company in cryptocurrency taxation, and it teaches other professionals how to handle crypto tax. CEO Josh Azran says, “When the IRS issues a warning, it’s important to sit up and take notice. This year, the IRS put out a press release specifically regarding cryptocurrency taxes. The federal government treats virtual currency as property, which means that taxpayers who do not correctly report their virtual currency transactions can be audited for those transactions, and when appropriate, can be held liable for penalties and interest. In IR-2018-71 the IRS noted that taxpayers could be subject to criminal prosecution for failing to properly report the income tax consequences of virtual currency transactions. In short, this means it’s time to get serious about Bitcoin taxes.

The regulation of Bitcoin taxes and other cryptocurrency taxes has raised questions for many taxpayers. In previous years, very few people reported their cryptocurrency holdings, gains, and losses. In fact, in 2015, only 802 people reported cryptocurrency on their returns. To put this number in perspective, the popular cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, now has over 13 million unique users. Although digital currency is popular across the world, there is still a shockingly low rate of reporting for United States taxpayers.”

Mr. Azran has had a really big and positive impact on cryptocurrency investors. Active cryptocurrency investor Vinay P. said, “Josh has been a godsend for me. I was really struggling to find a competent CPA in the Crypto space that knew all the rules and regulations. I was calling CPAs across the entire country and all of them were pretty much clueless.

December 26, 2018 – – A leading real estate agent in Bali is reminding prospective home buyers of the need to ensure investment homes are properly inspected. Patrick Clancy of PT Bali Nirmana Property says home buyers should not skimp on home inspection although it could be tempting given the costs.

Speaking following the recent merger news about Bali Nirmana Property, he says a good inspection is worth every penny. Not only do investors get details on the strengths and weaknesses of homes they’re considering, but they learn how everything in the home works. Clancy stressed the importance of looking for an inspector with several positive reviews since home inspection is not regulated in Bali.

“Buying a home is the most significant investment most people make in their lives. You really need to have professionals of the highest caliber going through the process with you. It’s important to have an inspector who will pay attention to detail and provide a timely, comprehensive report. You should never purchase a home without getting all the necessary information and a professional inspector can help with this,” he says.

If inspections aren’t conducted properly, buyers may purchase home for more than they are worth. They may also a acquire a property with significant problems and be left with no recourse. Clancy says a thorough inspection is crucial for identifying both major problems and smaller issues.

It is recommended that home buyers ask their real estate agents for referrals. Experienced agents have worked with many inspectors and they know which ones are trustworthy. The best inspectors are certified and belong to a professional association. Buyers should not be afraid to ask for credentials, Clancy says. Home buyers can also ask prospective inspectors to see a sample of one of their inspection reports. This helps them to prepare for what you will get and plan for how they will use the report to negotiate the price of the home.

Clancy, who is based in the firm’s Sanur, Bali office, also suggests sitting with an agent to determine the right type of inspection. Choosing the wrong type of inspection can reduce the amount of leverage buyers have during negotiations. If they choose a home inspection, when they get the report, they can ask the seller to fix certain problems before closing the sale or to give them a credit so they can do the repairs. If home buyers choose a general inspection, they can walk away if they find out about significant problems but there is no opportunity to ask for things to be fixed.

Clancy says home buyers should attend the inspection ready to take notes from the investment property inspectors.

“Homes can be quirky and buyers need to know where important systems are located and how they are operated. The inspector should not just point out the pros and cons, but also show potential buyers how items function. They should share details about things like air filters and shutoff valves. If the home is older, they should also identify which systems and appliances may need updating,” he says.

It is also important for homeowners to read through the inspector’s report carefully and ask them or the agent any questions. If problems like mold or pests are found, the report should recommend follow-up action with the appropriate professionals. Clancy suggests using the general report to negotiate the terms of the purchase with the focus being placed on major concerns like heating, cooling or the roof. Where there are no major problems, there may be niggling concerns which the sellers can address. Homeowners can ask for these to be corrected before the sale is completed.

Even if buyers hire an inspector who comes highly recommended, they shouldn’t expect miracles. Home inspectors can only offer an opinion on the things they can see. If problems are deep inside a wall or in a closed-off room, they can’t warn prospective buyers. Also, since inspectors are human, they may miss things. It is advisable to have the real estate agent tour with them, make notes and ensure attention is paid to detail. Buyers are also reminded that things can change in the home between inspection and when the sale is finally closed.

Still, inspections are invaluable, Clancy says.
