Thinking of renovating your home? Professional remodelers in Minnesota share advice & tips for your next home renovation project.
2020 has brought us many challenges when it comes to our homes. Clients are now taking steps to improve their homes for the new normal of working and spending extended time in their homes. Focus on improving the use of the space available so that your home can be comfortable for everyone. Remodeling your home to maximize the space and functionality to have multiple people working in the home is something that many homeowners didn’t even think about last year.
So, you received a quote from your builder and it looks good; the contract is signed and you are excited and ready to begin your project. A simple way to avoid change orders—a common problem in remodeling and building—is to do your shopping before you sign the agreement. Knowing what you want and the costs associated with that will help you stay within your budget. Even if you need to hire an interior decorator, it’s worth the expense. You can always revisit your selections before ordering. Doing this allows your builder to get firm costs on whatever you select—no guessing or allowances. Doing this will help you and your builder sleep better and you will feel much better about your project.
More homeowners are willing to have professionals design a unique space that reflects the lifestyle of their own family rather than to copy something they’ve seen on a streaming show or in a publication. By doing so, the space not only looks fantastic, but also functions brilliantly for daily living. Many of the remodeling projects we do are more about enjoyment rather than resale. It’s all about enhancing their daily life for years to come.
Aging-in-place design is very popular for those thinking of a bathroom remodel. This includes installing grab bars or supports in the wall to add them in the future, along with curbless showers, heated floors, multiple shower heads, and luxurious home spas that are perfect after a long day of work.
