What do people forget to budget for when designing a kitchen or bathroom?
Most clients do a great job budgeting for the tangible things they know they want and need, like tile, lighting, and accessories. Often, however, they are so excited to get the project going that the planning and design phase are overlooked. There are so many decisions that come into play with building, which is why having professional help with the design stage is so imperative to a successful build. Allocating a budget for your design team to create good solid plans will make for a smooth production phase and go a long way in bringing your dream space to life.

What is often overlooked in the custom building marketplace?
What is not seen is as important as what is seen. In other words, be careful not to just look at the finish aesthetic to judge quality. True quality is when the best practices in building science are amalgamated with thoughtful and creative design. A recent 2nd story addition project we completed now enjoys energy bills that are half of what they were prior – except now with double the living space!

What should I remodel first?
If you need to choose which room to remodel first, you’ll want to choose the room that will recoup the remodeling costs and create actual equity.
Experts agree that choosing to remodel your kitchen or bathroom first is traditionally the smartest move. And while kitchens typically cost more to remodel than bathrooms, they tend to yield a better return on investment, so they end up paying for themselves over the long run.
