Thinking of Remodeling??

(714) 299-7325

Lives change. Families grow and we outgrow our surroundings, but deciding to change your current house as opposed to selling and buying a new one is a very big decision. Unless there are compelling reasons to stay where you are, you are probably better off relocating as the burden to a family in a remodel is large. If the remodel is large enough, or a second story is being added, the family will need somewhere else to live for at least four months. Trying to live around any size remodel is difficult at best, so, if possible, alternate living arrangements are suggested. Husbands and wives involved in design decisions rarely ever agree completely, and when the final product is on paper and not visible (as in a purchase, where you can walk around through the living room), this task is even harder. Often times though, there are compelling reasons to remodel. If you've owned your house long enough, you may have a substantial amount of equity built up, and don't wish to sell in a down market. Perhaps your home is located in a very desirable area for you...schools, neighbors that are good friends (if they still are after your remodel!)...whatever. There are often times very simple modifications that can add great value to your house, depending on the current design. In example, we are looking into one project right now where the property has an area of basement that can be easily expanded without much structural work at all. Another we've seen recently has a situation where there is an area of patio with a roof over it and a concrete slab that can be easily enclosed. Very inexpensive solutions to their individual design needs. Give it some thought, then call us! We'll come out for a free consultation anywhere in the Southern California area!
