Remodeling Resources

Planning & Remodeling Ideas

  • Houzz.com: We recommend that you start daydreaming here, a great resource when you are planning any remodel. With the ability to search over one million other photos, we have found it to be a valuable planning tool for our clients. It helps you find ideas, product information and the ability to organize and share that information with us, with the use of custom idea books.  Here are some of our idea books.
  • Our Portfolio: With over 600 pictures separated into categories, our project portfolio will help you get an idea of the type of work we have completed.  If you find something you like, book mark it and show us when we meet.
  • Planning: Here is a PDF article written by Houzz called “Planning your Remodel”. It summarizes some of these tips above and helps guide you through some of the steps of this process.

Budgeting for Your Project

  • Cost vs. Value: This is a report put together by Remodeling Magazine.  It compares average cost for some of the most popular projects with the value those projects retain at resale in your local market.
  • How Much?: This is a page on our website we created to help you get a better idea of the lower, mid & higher-end project costs. Remember, these are merely estimates based on past work we’ve completed.
