Hobbs' Ink Remodels
There was a time when a "remodel" meant taking
out and replacing the kitchen appliances and repainting the cabinets a new
color. In most cases, doing more than that didn't make economic sense, because
you could sell the old house and buy a new home for less than the cost of an
extensive remodel. In the past decade, however, as land prices have shot up and
worsening traffic has made people reluctant to move further away from city
centers, remodels have taken on new importance in helping people maintain and
improve their quality of life. Many of our clients have loved the locations of
their existing homes, but because of evolving families and lifestyles have found
that their old houses no longer met their needs. Many existing kitchens are
woefully inadequate by today's standards, and today's families need larger
closets and storage spaces. Master suites, where the homeowners can "get away
from it all", were unheard of in the days of Ozzie & Harriet, but are in great
demand today, as are media rooms and large family rooms or "great rooms".
Conversely, many traditional formal dining rooms now gather dust (or worse yet,
become storage rooms) for the families who live there now. A well designed
remodel can literally give you the best of both worlds - the convenience,
familiarity and relationships you have built up in your current home, with the
space, functionality and modern technology of a new home. While we are happy to
do a single room addition or other simple project, and we have done many remodel
designs for much smaller projects, such as kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels
and master suite additions, most of the remodels shown here were quite
extensive. We hope this will allow you to see the myriad of possibilities for
the transformation of your own home. Whatever your needs are, get in touch with
us and let us show you how we can help make your house into your dream home. |
