Investing Wisely for Today’s Home Remodeling Projects
As a Residential Contractor who specializes in bathroom remodeling, I get asked about value… a lot. And as someone who takes pride in their work, in delivering value for the money, I always try to answer as honestly as possible.
In the long run, it is not only the right thing to do, but the best business model to give my best advice. A trusted contractor is as valuable as he/she is rare.
Instinctively, I felt that the money invested in your bathroom, in a quality project, remained the best investment. But until I recently found the following article, I didn’t have hard proof. Now I do, and so do you!
While most of our projects come in well under the eleven thousand dollar price tag mentioned in this story (in fact, we are currently running a special at nearly 1/3 of that price! Yes, a complete remodel for under $4000.00, under $5000.00 even including a nice vanity, medicine cabinet and shower door! Keep in mind, while our prices are very reasonable, especially compared to national trends, our quality of material and workmanship is not at all second to anybody.
Our premium remodel WILL add value to your home!

Here’s a post from G.M. Falisko called Many Happy Returns for Home Rehabs
Remodeling magazine’s annual report shows that maintenance-related projects and moderately priced upgrades are providing stable paybacks, even in a slower market.

Despite home price drops in many cities, remodeling projects are holding their own as a way for owners to add value.
Many people are wondering where their money will be safest during these uncertain economic times. When home owners turn to you for your expert advice, counsel them that some things never change: Investing in their home still pays off.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® statistics show that home prices have fallen by an average of 7 percent nationally in the past year. But the value of home owners’ investment in remodeling projects has declined only 3.86 percent on average between 2007 and 2008, according to Remodeling’s 2008–2009 Cost vs. Value Report.
