For homeowners considering upgrading their current space, winter is the perfect to plan an interior renovation and see it through before the contractors start to book up in the spring.
And for homeowners who are considering a move, today’s hot housing market is changing the rules about the best time to sell: the market is hot all year long now.
Whether you are getting your home in shape to sell or renovating to stay in place, working with professional designers is a good way to get started.
A consultation with an architectural designer is definitely a smart way to start bigger projects, such as an addition. But even smaller renovations can benefit from an architectural consultation if the project involves moving structural walls, creating a basement apartment or a new rear deck. These projects require working drawings and approved building permits, which an architectural designer can arrange. An initial consultation will cost about $75. Fees for the design process will vary according to the scope of the project.
Once you have the drawings and permits in hand, you can gather quotes from contractors to complete the job.
A professional architectural designer will provide you with the tools you need to gather accurate quotes from the trade professionals who will ultimately bring those ideas to life.
Free Architectural Design Consultation ($75 Value) Booked Before January 31, 2017.
