A home renovation can be a “face lift” for your home.  A change of paint color, new lighting, new sinks and faucets are some of the easiest  ways to bring a positive change to your home especially if you are on a budget.  There are no expensive structural changes.

A room addition is an extension or structure that is connected to the home , under the roof,  enlarging or increasing the footprint of the home.    

Preparing for a remodeling project is challenging.  Setting a realistic budget is necessary.  There are so many choices and styles to choose from.  It is important to be creative, but you also need to realize all the options and choices.   Each one can drive the cost higher.   We want customers to be prepared and informed so they are happy with the choices and cost.  Making decisions on the quality and value…not just the price.  

The foundation is a structural system that supports a building and transmits its load directly to the earth.  The biggest problem of foundations is soil settlement.  Soil can vary greatly in composition from one point to another even under the same structure.  Soil properties are greatly affected by ground water.

A great kitchen design can dramatically increase your property value.  Kitchen cabinetry is one key factor.  The actual number of cabinets is not what is important.  But it is imperative to consider the quality, symmetry, color and layout of these cabinets.

Carpentry is a highly skilled trade.  Carpenters construct, install and repair structures and fixtures made from wood as well as other materials.

Everyone seems to be looking for way to conserve water and cut cost.  A simple solution is to select drought-tolerant plants.  Many of these plants use less water and still provide beauty in your yard.  It is important to select plants and their varieties according to the site conditions.  It is imperative to understand that no plant will grow vigorously with adequate water.  Any newly-installed “drought tolerant” plant requires adequate irrigation to establish a sufficient root system.  Once they become established then they can survive with less water than the typical lplants.  

Groundcovers are used to provide both protection from erosion and weed control and to improve the aesthetic of the yard.  The can also be a “quick fix” solution.  Some are evergreen, some flower , some lose their foliage in the winter and some tolerate foot traffic.  There are low-growing spreading varieties, some fragrant varieties, some grasses and some that can handle light foot traffic.  

If dust, dirt and mud are not your favorite landscape, then lawn might be the answer.  There usually is a lower cost to seeding a lawn as well as a larger selection of seed.  Time of the year is so very important as well as monitoring the seed germination.  Weeds can also pose a problem until lawn is established.

The other choice is Sod Lawn or instant lawn.  It can be walked on after laying and may be planted any time of year.  It comes weed free and at a higher initial cost.

With either choice, soil preparation is crucial.
