When the overall floor plan is okay with you, but it’s time to switch things up a little bit, make it new again.
Remodel
Renovation
When you want to move things around, take out wall or three and really change the space
Additions
It’s time to add some space, you need more room. Bedroom? Bathroom? Screen Porch or Sunroom? A new detached garage?

You Should Have One Too
Homes are my thing. I was on site most every day when they built the house I grew up in and have had sawdust in my blood ever since. I like to say I turned pro at age 8, though the actual work work started a few years later, during summer vacations and all the other days off of school, you couldn't keep off of my Uncle Russ' projects.
Fast forward many decades and I'm the director of sales for a masonry contractor: yeah, I miss saw dust but I still get to meet clients and design cool things. In the average week I'll meet with 8 to 12 potential new clients about some sort of remodeling or home addition project, and at the end of the week I've usually heard 3+ stories of a bad experience that they had with a past project.
Some of these terrible, horrible, no good remodel problems were indeed unavoidable, BUT MOST WERE. The client knew a little but not enough - they just needed some help to keep them on the right path. Enter Remodel Advisors, we are the help you need. How to find the right company for you, what questions to ask, and most importantly - what to expect before, during and after.
Of Course You Want Your Remodel To Go Well

Get It In Writing!
Get EVERYTHING in writing. A written proposal with a detailed scope of work, that you understand, is key to getting the project you think you’re paying for. There are many conversations when planning a project, is everything that you talked about listed? There will be disagreements along the path of a project, a clearly written scope of work helps avoid many of them.
Yes, they need insurance.
ALWAYS get a certificate of insurance from your contractor showing Workmans Compensation and Liability insurance, ALWAYS. If you hire an uninsured contractor and they hurt themself on the job, or damage your property, YOU can be held liable for their injury, and / or damage. Is saving a few dollars really worth the potential liability?
Do You Need A Permit?
Don’t wait until the city inspector stops by and slaps a “STOP WORK” tag on your house, find out if the project requires a permit. Some folks will say “well, this might require a permit but that’ll just drive up the cost and take more time. The right folks will tell you straight up and include it in the cost of the job. If a permit is required, get one – you really can’t afford not to.
