(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 11, 2013 ) Portland, OR -- Many homeowners are deciding to stay put in neighborhoods they love and expanding their current homes in favor of moving to a larger space. These families have chosen home improvements and expansion, which enhance enjoyment of their home and add value for the future.
Among the top reasons to remodel a home is the creation of more space. After speaking with several highly rated remodeling contractors, AngieÂ’s List discovered that homeowners want to open up rooms to make their home more functional. This often means knocking down walls or adding rooms, which works particularly well in older homes with less square footage.
Removing a wall opens the home up to create larger spaces and a new look. It can also help the flow of the home and increase light exposure to rooms. One of the most common projects is knocking down a wall between the kitchen and the dining or family room.
Another small project with a big impact is installing shelves and cabinets. For those who canÂ’t afford large remodeling projects, there are many ways to create new space without breaking the bank. Replace entertainment centers and bulky bookcases with cabinets and shelves to create more floor space.
Tips for hiring the best contractor
Do your research by checking with local regulatory agencies to check your contractorÂ’s license, bonding status and insurance. You can also ask subcontractors their opinion about the contractor.
Know what you want. Write down your ideas to get a sense of your own expectations before talking with contractors or scouring the internet for designs and materials.
Money matters, so never pay up front the full cost of the project.
Get estimates. Make sure to get a minimum of three written estimates to compare.
Be patient. All projects include unexpected issues that can increase the cost or delay completion. The process will likely be stressful at times, but arming yourself with information is the best way to keep calm and carry on with your life.
