1. INVESTMENT – In most cases a person’s home is their largest asset. Remodeling can often increase the value of that asset by an amount that is often greater than the cost of the improvements, thereby increasing your net equity. Often the equity in your home determines your credit and wealth status. Research and determine what improvements will provide the best return on your investment.


2. RETIREMENT – Prepare for your future. If you’re retiring soon, you may want to supplement your retirement with an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU); a rentable apartment or room above the garage or stand-alone unit. Make adaptations to accommodate aging. Aging in place is becoming very popular.


3. GO GREEN – The cost of energy is through the roof and only getting worse. Energy efficiency is of the utmost importance no matter where you live.


4. SOCIAL ADAPTATION – The kitchen has become the heart of the home socially. Home entertainment is becoming the norm and the kitchen is the gathering area of your home. It is also important to open up living and dining areas.


5. MAKE IT RIGHT – Let’s face it, the good old-fashioned way they built homes 50 years ago was not up to today’s standards. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, lighting, windows, flooring, seismic and structure, technology, counters, cabinets have all improved exponentially.


6. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD – But your home doesn’t meet your current lifestyle. Don’t risk moving next to someone you can’t stand. Your kids are happy and safe. Don’t change

7. SATISFACTION – You may not care about keeping up with the Joneses but it’s important to live a life of satisfaction and contentment. Remodeling allows you to express your creativity, your personal taste and vision. Loving the space you live in can improve your emotional well-being.
