| Where you
go with your remodel depends a good deal on where you're at.
Are you a new owner of an old home? Then you'll want to customize it to meet your needs. If you compromised on the number of bed or bathrooms, the size of the garage, the lack of a study or dining room, now is the time to get together with a contractor and plan how to make your home your own. What were you looking for in a home? That is what you should get! Or perhaps your family is growing... do you need to add a nursery or bedroom? Backyard additions are fun for kids and adults alike. A recreation or game room is another popular addition. Adding a garage apartment can be useful in many ways - it can be used as a guest room, as quarters for a nanny or live-in maid, and as a transition to the real world for college aged kids leaving the nest. A garage apartment is also great for seniors who need someone close by but don't want to give up their privacy. |
Grab your
crystal ball and look into the future ten years.
If your lifestyle will be changing due to family members moving out, retirement & new beginnings, your home should change as well. Spending your days as well as your nights around the house, you may want to create a home office or a hobby room. Are you just ready for a change? How about adding windows, or a porch? What rooms do you never go into? Maybe you should convert them into something new! Many of us are trying to build a healthier lifestyle ... a deck or patio will draw you outdoors to enjoy gardening and sunshine. Is your home a bright, cheerful environment? Adding a skylight or light well can make a dramatic change. Most of all, what do you dream about? A circular drive? A pool with a poolhouse? A dream kitchen or a studio loft? With proper planning, these dreams can come true for you. |
