Top 4 Trades of October 2023

At the start of every month, we take a moment to reflect on the Top 4 Trades from the previous month. This practice keeps us attuned to our clients' needs and demonstrates how trade continually enriches their daily lives.

Here is the lineup of the Top 4 Trades from October:

Power Tool + Equipment:

Do you still have a mile-long project list? If the answer is yes, then you should make sure you have all the tools and equipments you need or see if you need to upgrade any of your tools/equipments. Instead of checking out your local home improvement store first for new tools/equipments, check out the IMS Marketplace or contact your Broker! We might have what you are looking for, and it would be on trade. So you can use that saved cash on something trade can’t get you.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets:

Has your spouse wanted to remodel your kitchen but that means ripping out the cabinets? Which means you know you have to spend a good chunk of cash to replace them? Well IMS can take the sting out of that price tag. By using your trade, you could be saving anywhere from. Contact your broker and they can help you find a contractor.

Solar Panel Installation:

Looking to make your business or home a little more green? Have you considered solar panels in the past but were unsure because of the cost? Well, we wanted to let you know that you can get solar panels using your trade! That’s right! Save that cash and use your trade and go green a little easier!

Windows:

According to Home Advisor, the national average cost to replace windows can range from $300 to $2,100 per window, with an average cost of $850. The most common factors that can increase the final price include the window material, type, and size you choose, along with whether you want a full-frame or retrofit window replacement. Count the windows in your home or in your office - we bet you are seeing dollar sign after dollar sign add up as you count. Instead of using your cash, use your trade!
