Decide on the Right Type of Remodel for You

It's important to organize your thoughts before beginning your project. A good project designer will walk you through the necessary steps and considerations but having some ideas in mind will certainly help guide the process.

• Determine the big picture goal of the project: additional storage space, updated look, open space, added function
• Gather ideas and pictures from magazines and the internet
• Make a list of your wants, needs, and priorities
• Establish a budget
• Determine timeline goals (is there a particular event for which you'd like to have the space completed)
• Schedule an appointment to get started

There are many options when it comes to adding space to your home. Some of these options include:

• 2nd story additions
• Master bedroom/bathroom additions
• Kitchen additions
• Bump outs
• Pre-constructed (can save time and money) or custom

When determining the best option for you, think about some key considerations:

• How you're going to use the space
• Zoning considerations such as your front yard setback, existing house footprint, side yard setback area, and property boundaries
• The flow of the new space with the rest of the house
• Consistency of the new space with the neighborhood
