This home remodeling guide is in fact a collection of different guides in separate posts covering all aspects of your home remodeling project.
The guides we offer here are the results of more than 30 years of experience in the remodeling and home construction fields as a general contractor. This includes a number of years owning a cabinetry company.
We are well qualified to provide this advice and sincerely hope you find it useful.
Our goal is to answer all the questions that come up when people start to think about a remodeling project. These are questions like: What are the steps to remodeling a house? And: How do I plan a complete house renovation?
We cover subjects like home renovation costs, home renovation contractors, and where to get remodeling home ideas.
In this section of our website, we include remodeling guides that cover the whole house generally and the kitchen and bathroom specifically. This is because it is these rooms that get the most attention in any remodeling project, and often on a standalone basis.
We also cover in this section the related subjects of Aging in Place remodeling, the costs and financing of remodeling projects, and general tips on remodeling design and decoration.
More posts in more detail coming soon.
