House Tour – Residential Addition

You have seen bits and pieces of this residential addition on our social media pages, today, we have decided to give you the full project and its story. This award-winning project came together through a collaboration with a local architect. We created a sleek, modern addition that stayed true to the original style and construction of the house.

The clients, a busy family of five, wanted the addition to appear as if it had always been there. Along with the exterior addition, the kitchen was completely remodeled. The new kitchen design is a complex, full overlay, wood grain cabinet design that greatly improves storage and provides a new dining room for entertaining guests.

The separate island design, adjacent to the kitchen was designed specifically so the children of the family can enjoy breakfast, do homework and hang out with their friends. The area also doubles as an ideal entertainment area for when the adults host family and friends’ gatherings.

We love all aspects of this residential addition but our favorite parts include all of the storage space. For example, this coffee bar and these shelves for cookbook storage.

Another great part of this residential addition is the entry way. Everything has its place, shoes, coats, keys, you name it.

Lastly, we must call out the dining area and the living room. There is so much room for guests to gather and enjoy each other’s company.  

We are so proud of this award-winning residential addition and are so happy we were able to meet our client’s needs!

How to Know You Chose the Right Remodeling Company

Whether it be a bathroom, kitchen, or basement remodel, any home alteration is a huge undertaking. Partnering with a remodeling company is a smart choice, but how do you know the partner you chose is right for you? Here are a few signs that will assure you that you’ve made the right decision and that the remodeling process is about to be a dream come true.

Creative & Thorough

From the start, the remodeling company you have chosen should be offering you a customized experience tailored to your style and budget. The company should provide you with options as well as suggestions that match your needs. Most importantly the company should be up front about their process so that there are no surprises towards the project’s completion.

Extensive Experience

The company you have chosen should have a wide variety of experience when it comes to all aspects of Interior and Exterior Remodeling and Custom Building. A bonus: they have the awards to prove they are outstanding at what they do.

Superior Customer Service

The team you have chosen should be not only respectful but attentive. If they are the right company, they will keep you updated throughout the entire process. You will feel at ease knowing your home is in good hands. Your satisfaction is what should matter most to the company. Do they have good customer reviews? Let those speak for themselves!

Warranty or Leave

Make sure the company you have chosen is offering you a warranty. The company’s involvement shouldn’t end when they complete the job. If it’s a great company, they will stay in touch and follow up on their work for years to come.

PS: Don’t Let Price Be a Deciding Factor

Basing your decision on finding the cheapest company is one of the biggest mistakes’ customers make. The cheapest company usually won’t provide the highest quality workmanship or an enjoyable experience. In fact, the best way to price a remodel is to set your budget first and then plan your remodel based on that.

Does the company you’ve chosen check all these boxes? If yes, then you are in good shape! If not, check out RemodelWerks. RemodelWerks is a full-service Kitchen & Bath, Addition, Basement, Custom Remodeling, and Whole House Design Build Remodeling Firm servicing Shrewsbury East Massachusetts into Boston. We are a fully licensed and insured team of remodeling specialist using 3D Design Technology. Contact us for your next project today.

How to Plan Your Home Remodeling Goals

Before you begin planning your next home remodel, you want to have at least one goal in mind. Why is that? You want to know what you expect to get out of a remodel before you begin.

 

What are some remodeling goals?

 

One of your goals could be to increase your home’s resale value. Another could be to make necessary repairs and make improvements while you’re at it. You could just want to remodel just for the fun of it and you can afford it.

 

All of the above are reasonable goals. There could be other specific goals, as well, whether they are personal or financial. But these goals are the three remodeling goals that we’ll discuss today.

 

Remodeling to increase home resale value

 

Many people have become obsessed with the ROI (Return on Investment) that certain home improvements can net you at the time of sale. What many people forget is that this money usually isn’t realized unless you actually sell the home. However, when it comes to refinancing a home, you can build equity which can help you down the line. So even if you don’t have plans to sell your home in the near future, it is good to be aware of how your home’s equity is affected by certain improvements.

 

Making the most of necessary repairs or deferred maintenance

 

Sometimes there are one or more rooms in your home that need fixing up. But you would rather gut them and start fresh rather than simply patching up the existing space. There is something to be said for making improvements “while you’re at it.” This is especially true when you’re talking about bathrooms or kitchens. Why repair something that makes more sense to replace?

 

Remodeling for the “fun of it”

 

While it may not seem like remodeling just to remodel is a good goal, it certainly can be. After all, the emotional value of a good remodel is worth more than the actual dollars that go into it. If the numbers make sense for you financially and the remodel will add function to the home, a remodel for pleasure makes sense. Even merely cosmetic improvements can add actual value to your property, as well. Just make sure that these improvements make sense with the surrounding area and the rest of the property.

 

How to realize your remodeling goals

 

Once you establish your goals for remodeling, you can then prioritize how you want to go about your home remodel. Perhaps you want to do a whole house remodel, but not all at once. There’s something to be said for doing things a little at a time.

 

But you may also want to just get it all done at once. There are valid reasons for going either way or making a plan to do something in between. Knowing your desired timeline of actually realizing your remodel is yet another important goal to consider.

 

As with anything in life, setting goals help structure what we’re looking to get done.when it comes to home remodeling, you definitely want to know what your end goal is. Otherwise, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and not go through with it. Once you have your remodeling goals in place, choose a design build contractor that will build the project that meets your needs.
