Remodeling a home is a big undertaking, but a well-planned home addition may be the best bang for your buck. You can enhance your home’s value while increasing its square footage, bedroom, or bathroom count.

Maximize your investment by selecting the appropriate materials and details to enhance your home’s value and character. Ensure that your new home add-on is a success with our helpful home remodeling ideas, inspiration, and expert advice.

Furthermore, make this addition a step in the right direction by utilizing sustainable choices and integration. You may choose bamboo flooring instead traditional oak. Solar operated skylights instead of the standard lines. Go that extra step and use foam insulation instead of fiberglass. Maybe even put a small solar array on your roof! The way we look at it, this is not only a brand new extension of your home, but an extension of yourself and what you stand for.

Kitchens & Bathrooms

Maybe you have grown tired of your kitchen decor but can’t stand the thought of doing away with perfectly functional appliances and cabinetry. Or perhaps your kitchen is very out-of-date and nothing but a complete kitchen remodel will remedy the situation.

With a smart plan, savvy shopping, and an open mind, it’s easy to make over your kitchen. For small makeovers, figure out where you can make the most impact. A fresh coat of paint or changing out a light fixture might be all that is needed to freshen the look.

For complete remodeling projects, you’ll want to address the “bones” of the room first: layout, wiring, plumbing, and flooring. Selecting cabinetry is another important decision you will have to make early in the process. You will also want to see if there is anything you can recycle from your current kitchen and take cues from specialty magazines and kitchen designers about what to add into your new design.
As for shopping, think about how you can use items in unexpected ways — and don’t discount salvage stores and secondhand shops. Salvaging vintage appliances and other interesting kitchen materials can add another dimension to a typical remodel.

Finished Basements

A basement is a completely different environment which involves structure elements, moisture, humidity, as well as has high possibilities for leaks or flooding. This calls for careful consideration of materials and systems which are specifically aimed at addressing these issues.

Homeowners looking for basement finishing ideas can easily begin to feel overwhelmed. With all the information out there, it’s difficult to know what’s best. However the truth is there is no single solution. every basement is different and thus requires each basement remodel we do to be fully customized to our clients needs.

For example in the past there was only one solution for finishing basement walls and ceilings: drywall. Finished basement floors were carpeted. The result? Cool, damp basement environments which caused the drywall and carpet to grow mold and mildew, which eventually leads to rot as well as create the perfect conditions for allergy and respiratory issues. This may be your situation right now.

Once you have decided that a basement remodel is the project you would like to undertake, the next part is choosing how to utilize this new space. You may want an additional living room, a child play area, a fitness area or even the final realization of your man cave; aka. basement bar, home theater, game room.
