It is an interesting industry, residential remodeling that is, as we are in a front line business. By that, I mean that we interact daily with our clients who are end users of our service and doing work on one of their most emotional investments, their homes. We hear from nearly every client their wishes, dreams, goals, needs and fears. I don’t claim to have a crystal ball about what will happen in the coming year, but I don’t think that the fundamentals of remodeling have changed that much. So if you have a project in mind for 2009, or just need more information to see if it might be the time and the place to begin; feel free to contact us with no obligation.
Also, as a review of some of Remodeling Fundamentals you should first establish a responsible budget and then:
-
Fix what’s broken or failing so that damage doesn’t get more expansive and expensive than it might have been.
-
Think about projects that pay back overtime such as high energy saving windows, siding or insulating projects.
-
Concentrate on high return on investment projects such as kitchens, baths and new exteriors.
-
If you do have an insurance claim, try to leverage those dollars in a way that not only repairs that damage but may also be a nice down payment on a project that will pay higher dividends in the future.
Feel free to call us if you have questions about your home.
