Are you considering home renovations but not sure which projects will add the most value to your home? It’s a question many homeowners face when trying to decide where to spend their hard-earned money and effort.

First and foremost, it’s essential to do your research and consult with a professional before diving into any home renovation project. That being said, here are five renovations that are known to add significant value to your home:

• A kitchen makeover: The kitchen is often the heart of the home, and it’s no secret that a stylish and modern kitchen can make a big impact on the value of your home. Consider updating old cabinets, countertops, and appliances for a fresh, new look.
• A bathroom overhaul: Like the kitchen, the bathroom is a crucial room in the house and can significantly increase the value of your home if it’s updated. Think about replacing outdated fixtures, adding a new vanity, or even expanding the size of the bathroom if possible.
• Outdoor living spaces: Deck or patio additions are becoming more popular, and for good reason. Not only do they add value to your home, but they also provide a place for you and your family to relax and entertain.
• Energy-efficient upgrades: Making your home more energy efficient is not only good for the environment, but it can also save you money on energy bills and increase the value of your home. Consider installing energy-efficient windows, insulation, and appliances to reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
• Extra living space: If your home is feeling cramped, consider adding an extra bedroom or bathroom. Not only will this increase the value of your home, but it will also make it more attractive to potential buyers.

When it comes to home renovations, it’s essential to choose projects that will add value to your home while also suiting your personal style and needs. With careful planning and the help of a professional, you can make the most of your home renovation investments and enjoy the benefits for years to come.

Renovation

Friends of ours contacted us requesting we inspect their siding. Their home had an older, smart panel (oriented-strand board with one finished side), siding product for approximately 30 years.  After inspecting the siding, we could see where it had failed around the meter main, due to lack of flashing and there were issues elsewhere: under certain trim boards, and at their deck ledger board.  Having already paid for some repairs last year we recommended not throwing good money after bad. They love the look of their house, so with a focus on longevity they decided to replace the smart panel product with with Hardipanel.

To start this renovation, we tore everything off the lower levels, fixing dry rot and wrapping the house from the ground up, which included calling the utility company to disconnect power, pulling the meter main off the house and putting it all back together.  The front flowerbed as dug up where dirt had piled up against the siding and we installed house wrap and aluminum (never rust) flashing.  We replaced a door jam, replaced the exterior lighting and then began installing the 50 lb panels.

The project took longer than expected due to complications matching the new material with the previously installed material, but you can see results in the images below.  The best part?  Our old friends are still our friends!

The owners of this home on Caldera Ct. ​have been friends for many years. ​Having four kids and not having done any major work since moving in 20 years before, the house ​definitely was ​showing its age.​ ​What originally started as us looking at ​a flooded laundry room​ became a full cosmetic remodel​. ​

Our plan was to have the family out and back in within 60 days​. Our friends and ​the​ir​ neighbors ​started a pool​. Most were betting that it would take six months or more​; some were betting up to a year​.​

New siding, new roofing, new garage doors, new floor coverings, ​​new fireplace, new slab counters, new paint inside and out, new appliances,…down to the blinds.
​
The actual time was 70 days due to the homeowner ordering the wrong kitchen sink. The homeowners are as happy winning the neighborhood pool as the neighbors are astounded.​ The moral to the story is don’t flood your laundry room, but if you do, hire us and place huge bets with the neighbors.​

 “I’ve known David as a friend for years and have always admired his work. It is well done and of high quality. When the time came to hire a general contractor for our full-house remodel, we interviewed a lot of contractors, but, based on the quality of work we saw, his integrity, and personable nature, David was our hands-down choice. Since working with David as a client, I’ve come to admire how hard he works to provide good value for the money, and keep the job on schedule.”

Great Results, Good Value, High Integrity
