These 5 mistakes are silently KILLING your Airbnb reviews (and your income) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkPPSJ8Ekg4

These 5 mistakes are silently KILLING your Airbnb reviews (and your income)… If you’ve got a short-term rental—or you’re thinking about starting one—don’t overlook this stuff. These 5 things will quietly destroy your reviews and cost you money: Bed in a closet? That’s not a bedroom. That’s a guest complaint waiting to happen. No A/C or weak airflow = sweaty, angry guests. Water damage that never got fixed right? Gross. Finishes that don’t match feel lazy. Guests notice. No towel rods, no TP holder, no blackout curtains, no bathroom light?? It’s the little stuff that adds up. People aren’t just renting a place—they’re paying for an experience. If your place feels halfway done, that’s exactly how your reviews will sound. Want help dialing it in and making your STR feel high-end without overspending? DM me “BILL” and I’ll show you how we do it right.

4 Golden Rules when it comes to remodeling #stgeorgeutah #remodelingmistakes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RQj3ylRqSE

4 “Golden Rules” when it comes to remodeling #stgeorgeutah #remodelingmistakes The one that still haunts me? I had a bid from a trusted painter I knew would deliver… but I gave the job to someone cheaper because, hey, they underbid by thousands. Their task was to restore the cabinets. Simple enough, right? Wrong. The guy shows up with a mini sprayer — like, toy-sized. He burned through double the materials, botched the job, destroyed 2 cabinets, lost a bunch of hardware, and delayed the entire project by two months. Cost me way more in the end than the original bid ever would have. I’ve never spoken to him since. Last I heard he’s making burritos at Alberto’s. Lesson learned: cheap labor isn’t a good deal if you have to redo the work. Since then, I’ve stuck with pros who show up and do it right — shoutout to @specialty_painting_ for coming in and saving the day. via Hyperpeak Remodeling https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz1wwOCLoyEbk98dEnmTLiQ April 21, 2025 at 02:50PM source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RQj3ylRqSE from https://hyperpeak.wordpress.com/2025/04/22/4-golden-rules-when-it-comes-to-remodeling-stgeorgeutah-remodelingmistakes-https-www-youtube-com-watchv3rqj3ylrqse/

This is the payoff no one talks about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk4kVhLGV4c

This is the payoff no one talks about… They talk about the money. The grind. The hustle. But not this. Not the quiet moments on a jobsite with your kid next to you. Not the freedom to say yes when he asks, “Can I come with you, Dad?” I get to bring my son to work… But more than that—he gets to see what it means to work. To build something from the ground up. To show up for your family. To lead with your hands and your heart. He’s not just tagging along. He’s watching. Learning. Becoming. This is the kind of success I didn’t even know I was chasing. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything. via Hyperpeak Remodeling https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz1wwOCLoyEbk98dEnmTLiQ April 15, 2025 at 05:16PM source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk4kVhLGV4c from https://hyperpeak.wordpress.com/2025/04/16/this-is-the-payoff-no-one-talks-about-https-www-youtube-com-watchvqk4kvhlgv4c/

From DIY Remodel to Pro Contractor | St. George Homes #remodeling #contractor #stgeorgeutah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6rp5Ask7OM

From DIY Remodel to Pro Contractor | St. George Homes #remodeling #contractor #stgeorgeutah That first clip was just a quick update I filmed while remodeling a place for myself. I was figuring everything out—how to do the remodel and how to even talk about it. I didn’t feel like I had anything worth sharing. I was just trying to make it all work. Since then… a lot has changed. The obvious one? I’m not afraid to be on camera anymore. (Also bald now—but we’ll just call that bonus character development ) But the real growth has been in understanding why I do this. It’s not just about flipping homes or making money. I genuinely want to help people—whether it’s making their space more livable, increasing their home’s value, or showing them what’s possible. Over time, I’ve learned how to share what I know, because I’ve earned that knowledge through doing the work—day in and day out. I’m not here to act like I’ve got it all figured out. I’m still learning, still growing, and still showing up. This video is more than just a then vs. now. It’s a reminder that growth is real. That showing up scared still counts. And that consistency beats perfection, every time. Thinking about remodeling your own space? Whether it’s your home or an investment property, I’d love to help you get it right—from design to done. Shoot me a message or drop a comment.

Cost Plus vs. Fixed Cost? Essentials when working with a Contractor in St. George!

Cost Plus vs. Fixed Cost? Essentials when working with a Contractor in St. George! https://hyperpeak.build/cost-plus-vs-fixed-cost-essentials-when-working-with-a-contractor-in-st-george/ Introduction When it comes to hiring a contractor, understanding how the financials are set up can make or break your project. In this post, we’ll dive into two common types of contractor agreements: Cost Plus and Lump Sum (Fixed Cost). Both have their pros and cons, and I’ll walk you through each to help you make the best decision for your remodeling project. What is Cost Plus? Cost Plus is a pricing model where the homeowner pays for the actual cost of materials and labor, plus a fee or percentage for the contractor’s profit. Pros of Cost Plus Flexibility: If you’re doing a larger or more complex remodel, the Cost Plus system offers flexibility since the price adjusts based on the project’s progress. Quick Start: Cost Plus agreements can often get projects started faster because the initial budget is more of a ballpark estimate rather than a fully locked-in figure. Cons of Cost Plus Risk of Going Over Budget: In most cases, your project is likely to go over budget. That’s just the nature of how remodeling tends to go, especially when the scope isn’t fully defined upfront. Example of Cost Plus Pricing Let’s say you want to remodel your kitchen but aren’t sure about the layout or materials. With a Cost Plus model, you would move step by step: Start with demolition, receive a charge for that. Bring in a plumber to move pipes, and receive a cost for that. Every trade and task is billed as it happens. In this setup, you, the homeowner, are responsible for keeping track of the budget and ensuring the costs stay under control.   What is Lump Sum / Fixed Cost? A Lump Sum (or Fixed Cost) agreement is a flat fee for the entire project. The contractor gives you a price for the whole job, and you pay that amount regardless of how long or complicated the work ends up being. Pros of Lump Sum Price Certainty: Lump Sum is ideal for investors or homeowners with simpler remodels, as you know exactly what the project will cost from the start. No Financial Juggling: With Lump Sum, you don’t have to deal with constant changes to the budget. Usually, the cost is broken up into two or three payments—like a deposit, a mid-project payment, and a final payment. Cons of Lump Sum Savings Go to the Contractor: If the project comes in under budget, the contractor keeps the savings—not you. Contractor’s Cushion: Contractors often build in a cushion to protect themselves in case of unexpected issues, which can lead to a slightly higher price than the actual cost. Example of Lump Sum Pricing Let’s say you’re doing that same kitchen remodel. We come in and say, “Okay, your kitchen is going to be $30,000.” You pay a deposit, and we get started on the work. The price is fixed, but that flat fee means you won’t see any cost savings if the project comes in under budget. Conclusion In summary, Cost Plus offers more flexibility, while Lump Sum provides a fixed price with less room for adjustment. The main risk with Lump Sum is that the contractor assumes the risk of cost overruns, while with Cost Plus, you, the homeowner or investor, are responsible for any cost increases. Thanks for reading my breakdown of Cost Plus vs. Lump Sum. If you’re ready to get started on your project, book a call with me or reach out directly.
