Love where you live - Remodel

If your house is over twenty years old then it is probably beginning to show its age, but your house is not just a house – it’s your home. Homes are only created by living in them for many years, while creating lifelong memories. Sure, there may be glaring evidence of the early 1990’s all around the interior of your home, making you want to consider moving altogether, but you don’t have to walk away from your memories, especially if you love the location of your home. You can easily stay put and bring your home’s style into 2019 by remodeling it. In fact, the remodel industry is proving to be alive and well as evidenced by members of the Weeks and Mitchell team attending the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas last month.

For a homeowner who decides to remodel, here are some good tips!

Be as organized as possible – Remodel work is messy and will always involve dust so be realistic about your expectations during the project.
Expect the unexpected – Needing permits/architectural drawings, materials on back order, and even change orders can affect the timeline. So be prepared to be flexible.
It’s just a short-lived project – While it is messy and can be difficult to live through, it will be worth it in the end.
Your contractor will be working hard for you – A good contractor will not only manage the various moving parts of the project, but he/she will also work to minimize changes to the schedule, keeping things as hassle free as possible. Your contractor is just as anxious and motivated to finish the job as you are!

Remember, houses are bought and sold every day, but you can’t buy a home. If you are wondering how to increase the value of your home, please contact Weeks and Mitchell today at 480-961-8995 or stopover at our Design Center (Ray Rd and 48^thSt).

Weeks and Mitchell has a Design Center at the corner of Ray Rd & 48^th St Ray in Ahwatukee where people can visit and get inspired for total home remodels, kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels and additions. In addition to the showroom, Weeks and Mitchell provides a free customized estimate, which includes inputting dimensions that are client-specific into a software program where things such as walls, islands and cabinets can be added, deleted, or manipulated. This provides a visual overview with actual dimensions, so clients don’t have to simply imagine what a remodel may look like. There is also a full-time designer on staff to assist in tile selection, color palette preferences, and more.
