Remodeling Help in The Greater Bay Area 

Thinking about all the ways your home could improve? Dreaming of that beautiful kitchen or bathroom? At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, we know how much fun it can be to envision the possibilities—and how difficult it can be to determine whether to go through with the plans. Plus, the process itself can be incredibly daunting. If you’ve been toying with a remodel, check out some of our thoughts below. 

Renovation Considerations

With mortgage rates and home prices where they are, it can be hard to think about outright moving, so, even if you’re tired of your current home, renovating might be the best answer. To determine what or whether to remodel, answer these questions:

• What would you most like to change? To do that, do you need to do a full-blown renovation, or will some touchups do?
• During the remodel, how and where will you live? What will you need to maintain a “normal” life?
• Will you do everything all at once, or do you you’ll break it up into several projects? If you’ll be breaking it up, what is the most pressing part, and how soon do you want it done?
• Are there aspects you think you could do on your own?
• What’s your budget?

Choose Who Will Help With Your Remodel

Even if you’ll be able to do some parts yourself, odds are you’ll need at least a little help getting the renovation going. Be sure to thoroughly research and vet your potential partners to get people you’ll be happy with and avoid shoddy workmanship or unfinished work. Search for contractors who will listen to you and make your project a priority. Get referrals from friends and neighbors who’ve had work done. And remember: Although many contractors can and do provide quality work at lower rates, sometimes you really do get what you pay for (and not in a good way). The same can hold true for products like cabinetry, appliances, and flooring. Before you settle on sure to find out the ins and outs of warranty and lifetime repair specifics.

Maybe Start Small

If you’re not ready to jump head first into a large remodel, you could always start small. To see a space differently, maybe change its color, change the décor, or reupholster the furniture. And, as always, upgrading your window fashions can alter how light comes into your room, giving it a bright new feel. For example, layering existing shades with drapery can add depth and drama to the room, as well as fully tie together a look. Our skilled specialists can guide you through the selection process to ensure that you find the right product to suit your needs and budget, and our professional installers can help ensure the precise fit for your windows.
