IS IT TIME TO REMODEL?
[ go back ]
Perhaps it was that moment when you
realized that avocado green and harvest gold are no longer the "in"
colors for today's trendy kitchens. Or maybe you had an epiphany one day
as you stood in line to use your own bathroom. Whatever the impetus, the
thought has crossed your mind: Maybe it's time to remodel . . .
If you decide to follow through on that thought, you'll join millions of
others who decide to remodel their homes each year. The reasons for
remodeling are as varied as the projects we undertake. Some of these
include:
-
Adding more space.
-
Upgrading cabinets, counters,
appliances, and fixtures.
-
Creating a floor plan that's
customized for your lifestyle.
-
Improving energy efficiency with
new windows, doors, insulation, and climate control systems.
-
Increasing the resale value of
your home.
Before you head too far down the
remodeling path, it's a good idea to think through your wants and needs:
-
Decide what changes you want to
make.
-
Ask yourself and other family
members what you like and dislike about the house, then create a
prioritized list.
-
Look at magazines and collect
pictures of what you like.
-
Think about traffic patterns,
furniture placement, colors, lighting, and how you want to use the
remodeled space now and in the future.
