Cosmetic Changes vs. Home Remodeling

A common misconception that many homeowners have is that any home improvements will automatically increase the value of their property. However, industry professionals such as home appraisers and remodeling contractors can give a more accurate estimate. Cosmetic changes such as paint, flooring and window treatments are matters of personal taste, and will add the least amount of value to a home. On the other hand, adding new cabinets, appliances, and maximizing your floor plan will have much larger return on investments.

Home improvement plans vary depending on the scope, size, and budget of the project. The steps outlined below may overlap, and it should be noted that changing one portion of your plan will require changes in other parts of the plan. With that being said, almost every Home Remodeling Portland plan will include these five steps:

  • Dream It

    There is no accounting for taste — afterall, you are the one who will primarily enjoy the benefits of a home renovation! It is important that you your remodeling concept matches the existing style and decor of your house. For example, clashing rustic cabinets may look out-right silly on your Spanish style villa.

  • Design It

    Ignoring your budget, what is the ideal floor plan of your new home remodel? Do you require major modifications like removing a wall, or moving electrical or plumbing components? There are often multiple solutions to any home design, which will be largely determined by the next step in the home renovation checklist.

  • Paying for It

    Establishing a budget early on will ensure your project is completed on budget. We will work hand in hand with you to make sure your project is completed within your budget. It is important to remember that anything not included in the original contract will likely cost extra, so it is a good idea to have a budget surplus for any last minute modifications. It is very tempting to immediately start on your home renovation project, with the intentions of modifying and expanding the original plan. This is why it is to important to create and adhere to a budget, or you might find that your home renovation costs will be over budget and your increase your time line.

  • Permits and Codes

    After reviewing your remodeling plan, we will take care of the entire permit process, drawing up the renovation plans, applying for the permits and scheduling all necessary inspections.

  • Timing

    We pride ourselves in establishing clear time frames for your renovation. We take into account seasonality factors — we do live in the rainy Northwest, after all. We will be sure to give you reasonable expectations for your home remodeling Portland!
