Hello Austin Texas!
A portion of the ticket sales to benefit
It is with great pride that I welcome you to the 11th annual Austin NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes. This year we have 10 spectacular homes from 8 of Austin’s best remodelers. There is no better time to venture out and take a look at the latest trends and meet the contractors who bring these homes to life. Every home will offer a different take on style, layout and character. The best way to experience the tour is to see every home and take the time to speak to the builders to get an insight as to the challenges and successes of each project. It takes a special kind of homeowner to open their home to the public. I want to take a moment to thank all the homeowners from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to showcase these 10 amazing homes. There would be no tour without you! Austin NARI has developed a strong relationship with a local non-profit called Wonders and Worries, which provides child life specialist support to children who have a parent with a life threatening illness. A portion of the ticket sales will again support this group and W&W information will be displayed at all 10 homes. The 2013 Austin NARI Board of Directors welcomes you! Have a great tour.

The Award-winning firm of Premier Partners took this 854-square-foot cottage and turned it into a sprawling 2,460-square-foot family dream home with a handsome outdoor space perfect for entertaining. La Cantina folding doors open up to the new “L” shaped porch, made of Brazilian Red Balau wood, which beacons you to experience the xeriscaped front, side and back yards. Working with the homeowner to preserve as much of the original structure as possible, the team was able to reuse the original long leaf pine flooring and integrate it with pine flooring reclaimed from the Dallas apartment building where the infamous Lee Harvey Oswald once lived. Don’t miss these and the many more unique features this home has to offer, such as soapstone countertops, handmade glass hardware and cork wallpaper!

This 1940’s period house was originally a two bedroom, one bathroom bungalow. Once again, CG&S Design-Build worked their magic by doubling the square footage with two more bedrooms, a bathroom and a master suite filled with all the modern day amenities. Come see how CG&S creatively worked around one of the City of Austin’s protected pecan trees to create a bright and jovial kids’ bedroom wing and a peaceful, spa-inspired parents’ retreat.

Unaltered since its construction, this 1969 home was in desperate need of a update. Straight & Level Construction was awarded the task of bringing new life to a home lost in a time warp! Not one inch of this home was untouched by the masterful talents of the award-winning firm. Structural and mechanical systems were replaced and aesthetic elements were updated. The new gourmet kitchen, gorgeous great room and generous master suite are a few of the must-see features on this tour stop. The original fireplace remains intact, beautifully and thoughtfully restored as a reminder of the home’s transformation. The result is a showcase of the quality of craftsmanship Straight & Level provides for every job. Be sure to stop in!

The owner of this home hired the talents of Audino Construction, Inc. to address the issues with her twenty year old kitchen. Being an avid cook and hostess, the homeowner requested efficient storage and a flowing space that would allow her to connect with her guests. Engaging the expertise of Dawn Hearn Interior Design for materials and finishes, Audino Construction, Inc. delivered an unbelievable space by thinking outside the box...or, walls, in this case. Creative use of bamboo cabinetry negated the need for walls allowing ample space for customized storage, including an ingeniously camouflaged space for the washer and dryer. Sparkling glass tiles reflect light back into the room and floating wood shelves complete the feeling of a generous, open space that is now ideal for entertaining.

PROFESSIONAL .................................................... Proper Planning is Important Think your remodeling project through from start to finish. Careful planning of your home improvement projects will enable you to update your home, increase the value of your investment and customize your living space; all for a lot less than the cost of a new home. Look over your property carefully. What repairs are needed? What improvements would you like to make? Think ahead and determine your future needs. Professional remodeling contractors can help you in your planning by outlining options and discussing the improvements you can make within your budget. Be sure to review your homeowner’s insurance policy and make adjustments for the added value of the work being done.
Select a Professional, Reliable Remodeling Contractor Finding a qualified professional remodeling contractor doesn’t have to be a difficult task. Following these guidelines will make the selection process easier and you will be better prepared to make an informed decision that best suits your needs. Employ a contractor with an established business in your area. Local firms can be checked through references from past customers in your community. Many states, but not all, require contractors to be licensed and/or bonded. Contact your state or local licensing agencies to ensure the contractor meets all requirements. If your home is built prior to 1978, make sure yourcontractor is a Certified Lead Renovator. Make sure the contractor’s insurance coverage meets all the minimum requirements. Check with the government Consumer Affair Office and the Better Business Bureau to ensure there is no adverse file on record for the contractor.
Ask to see a copy of the contractor’s certification of insurance for the name of his or her insurance agency to verify coverage. Most states require a contractor to carry worker’s compensation, property damage and personal liability insurance.
It is best to work with an architect experienced in remodeling, as he or she will be more sensitive to the special challenges that remodeling represents.
If you solicit bids from several different contractors, be sure they are bidding on the same scope and quality of work. Discuss variations in bids and beware of any bid that is much lower than the others.
Choose a Course of Action Depending on your needs and the size of your remodeling project, there are several options for you to explore before finalizing your plans. Attempt to define which of the following alternatives represent the best approach for your project. The General Contractor Many home improvements may not require professional design services and can be handled by an experienced remodeling contractor. Again, be sure to deal with a professional. Even small jobs need careful planning, as their successful completion is important to you. The Design/Build Contractor Design/build is a concept developed to benefit the homeowner with his or her remodeling project by providing both quality design and construction services within the same company. A design/build contractor will be able to see your project through from start to finish, keeping design, engineering and budget in mind. The Architect Major remodeling projects require construction drawings to define contracts and permit procurement. If your professional remodeler does not provide design services, you can use a professionally trained architect.
Think About Design and Function Design and function should be foremost in your mind if you’re thinking of adding a room or converting an existing room. Give thought to details such as: where you want electrical outlets, telephone jacks and cable hook-ups located; the type of lighting required; your current and future storage needs; and whether you want to include luxury items. These details will help your remodel to better suit your needs and lifestyle. A professional remodeler should be consulted about design and function of any remodeling project. He or she can also help you with time and money-saving hints.
A Well Written Contract is Essential
Financing Your Remodeling Project
Be sure the contract includes the contractor’s name, address, phone and license number (if applicable).
There are various financing plans available to homeowners. Among the most popular is the equity line of credit that bases the loan amount on the equity in your home.
A contract should include detail about what the contractor will and will not do. A detailed list of materials for the project should be included in your contract, with information such as size, color, model, brand name and product.The contract should include approximate start and completion dates. Study the design plans carefully. Insist that you approve them and that they are identified in your written contract before any work begins. Known as the “Right of Recision,” Federal law requires a contractor to give you written notice of your right to, without penalty, cancel a contract within three business days of signing it, provided it was solicited at some place other than the contractor’s place of business or appropriate trade premises. Make sure financial terms are understood and spelled out in the contract. The total price, payment schedule, and any cancellation penalty should be clear. A warranty covering materials and workmanship for a minimum of one year should be written into thecontract. The warranty must be identified as either “full” or “limited.” The name and address of the partywho will honor the warranty (contractor, distributor or manufacturer) must be identified. Make sure the time period for the warranty is specified. A binding arbitration clause is also a good inclusion in the event a disagreement occurs. Arbitration may enable you to resolve disputes without costly litigation. Consider the scope of the project and make sure all items you’ve requested are included. If you do not see a specific item in the contract, consider it not included. Never sign an incomplete contract. Always keep a copy of the final document for your records.
Loans are available through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) specifically for home improvements and can be obtained through many lending institutions. The FHA, however, requires that lender approve the contractor. The FHA does not guarantee the contractor’s work. Some institutions will allow you to borrow against the anticipated equity in your home once your remodeling project is complete. A professional remodeling contractor is familiar with available financing options and can help. Research various sources of funding to compare individual qualification guidelines, interest rates, terms and tax considerations.
Working with Professionals Before work begins, ask your contractor what inconveniences may occur while the project is under way and plan for them accordingly. Be sure your contractor is aware of vacations or special events so that he or she may schedule appropriately. Move personal property from work areas and declare all work zones off-limits to children and pets. Be sure to put all changes in writing if your remodeling project is modified while work is being done. Both parties should sign the amendment, called a “change order.” Keep a job file including contract, plans, specifications, invoices, change orders and all correspondence with the contractor. Request a contractor’s Affidavit of Final Release be provided to you at the time you make the final payment and a final waiver of mechanic’s lien. This is your assurance that you will not be liable for any third-party claims for non-payment of materials or subcontractors.

This Lost Creek home was ripe for a major update and remodel. Known for their deft ability to marry natural materials with sleek lines, plate glass and industrial steel, the homeowners hired the award-winning team of Austin Impressions to build this dramatic space. The priority was to showcase the natural beauty of the huge lot and private backyard forest. Design that serves multiple functions is also a theme through the whole of the house. Cleverly designed ceiling articulations and fur-downs appear like floating origami throughout the space. To soften the rigid feeling of glass and steel, natural woods, such as pecan, cedar and oak, are blended amidst the space to emanate a unity with nature. You won’t want to miss this show-stopping remodel/ addition on this year’s tour.

Newcomer to Austin NARI, Clark | Richardson Architects gets a “green” thumbs up with this impressive whole-house historical renovation/addition. Clark | Richardson Architects was able to bring to life an interesting juxtaposition of historic integrity, contemporary features and environmental conscientiousness. Among other measures, this Austin Energy Green Building 5 Star Certification recipient implemented an extensive water harvesting system and reused original materials in inventive ways throughout the project. Beyond the sustainable features of this home, the priorities of this renovation were to incorporate the homeowner’s extensive art collection into the design and to make this urban dwelling feel as though it is set in a more natural setting by offering numerous and diverse outdoor spaces, extending the living space into the trees surrounding the home. Come see these and many other amazing features of this sophisticated Hyde Park gem.

Realty Restoration’s quality craftsmanship shines once more! However, what you don’t see on this remodel is just as amazing as what you do see. Partnering with Twelve Stones Designs, the award-winning trifecta overcame extensive structural, functional and aesthetic issues during the transformation of this Tarrytown bungalow to bring forth this unequivocally polished space. Notable features include unique “flyover” soffits, a gorgeous sinuous Calcutta gold tile backsplash, luxurious custom-built cabinetry and a sculpturesque structural column which grounds the sleek 15’ long island.

Before deciding to purchase the property, the owners engaged the expertise of Greenbelt Homes to assess the home’s potential and the investment in would require. Seeing that this 70s era ranch-style house had “good bones,” Greenbelt reconfigured the chopped up spaces unveiling this stylish, cohesive floor plan. To link the gathering spaces, walls were removed between the den and kitchen. In the master suite, a superfluous bedroom was transformed into the new master bath and spacious closet. This home exudes a hip, modern vibe with fun and funky wallpapers, geometric patterns, irresistible textures and exotic finishes displayed throughout.

Suffering from major water damage after pipes burst on the upper level, this house was completely revamped by the award-winning firm of CG&S Design-Build. Where there once stood a modest 1980’s era dwelling, now stands a structurally improved, stunningly modern home nestled in the Cat Mountain area. The new floor plan liberated the kitchen from its enclosed space allowing natural light to flood the entire first floor. The floating stair case becomes a sculptural element, while luxurious materials and finishes are touted throughout the home.

With a special focus on energy savings and bringing in more natural light, Austin Impressions achieved the perfect balance between letting the light in without letting the heat in. New energy efficient windows and doors, LED lighting, spray foam insulation and a repaired leaky A/C duct system helped to recoup lost energy costs so that the updated sleek finishes could bask in the natural light. Once again, Austin Impressions shows their adeptness for detail with the use of floating ceiling structures and transitions. Wide open spaces permit an expansive view of the greenbelt beyond, and swank materials and finishes are featured throughout.
