The Do-Over: Why ‘Do-Over’ for the next owner? By Cynthia Lescalleet For The Leader Sometimes, remodeling a home isn’t to prep it for sale to someone else - it’s so the homeowners can enjoy the results themselves. As renovators working in Leader News neighborhoods, Greater Houston Builders Association President Leslie King of Greymark Construction and Kevin Vick of Vick Construction & Remodeling Inc. have some suggestions on smaller projects with big results. Or, as King calls them, projects that “pop.” Clients often think they need to add square footage when all that’s required is reworking what they have, she says. They just “have to get creative.” Just don’t go too crazy with the project’s complexity or ﬁnishes, says Vick. That can add to cost and timeline. For those who dream big (or small, in this case,) here are some tweaks currently in demand and estimates for tackling them. For (about) $10,000 Remove the wall between the kitchen and family room

(or dining room, or both). It typically runs $5,000 to $10,000, even if you have to install a drop beam to support the span, King says. Having the beam ﬂush with the ceiling will cost more. Expect the job to take one or two weeks. Re-face rather than replace cabinetry to save half to twothirds of the cost of an update and “make what’s there look better,” Vick said. Some of the work is handled off-site. Re-installation takes about a week to complete and includes new hardware and reﬁnished boxes. (Add some under counter lighting for a brighter, more modern space, he adds, and it runs about $1,000.) Convert a tub into a walkin shower for “that spa experience at home,” Vick said. Expect the transformation to take a couple of weeks, including inspections. Add an outdoor venue (with pergola). Mature trees in the area make this a particularly popular request, he notes. $5,000 to $10,000 Install French doors to the yard from the master suite or family room to add natural light and extend either room

outdoors, King suggests. The installation isn’t time consuming, but having to order custom-sized doors can take several weeks. Rework the utility room to accommodate a half-bath, she says. Stackable appliances and a tankless water heater free up space. Tapping into adjacent closets can supply a few more square feet. $5,000 Add trim. It gives a room cleaner lines and makes it feel completely new, Vick says. Maximize master closet space with a storage system “smartly laid out,” he says. Ditto in the garage, particularly older ones, where storage above the bays leave more room below. Replace countertops in the kitchen. If the new surface is in stock, the project takes only a few days, King estimates. $2,000-$3,000 Swap out the bathroom’s built-in vanity for a pedestal sink or one in an interesting piece of furniture. Match existing tile or perhaps create a “rug” in the pattern with something that adds some jazz.

OPINIONS

Communities enjoy growth in hot, local housing market By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com

With a booming real estate market and its resultant high prices, people who want to live in the area are starting to think outside the box during their house hunting. In this issue, and future ones, The Leader will take a look at some of the neighborhoods that are beneﬁtting from the area’s growth. Brooke Smith Caroline Schlemmer with Greenwood King Properties said that the Brooke Smith neighborhood on the eastern edge of the Heights is seeing big growth due to both its location between North Main and 1-45 as well as rising home prices in the Heights. “It is moving,” said Schlemmer, who noted that the renaissance got its start before the economic downturn but

has really picked up as ﬁnancing capability for investors has improved. “There’s a lot more development going on.” The prices are going up too. Jena Turner with Habitation Realty who sells there said that not too long ago, there was more inventory in the $250,000-$350,000 range for ﬁrst time home owners. “It was a good alternative to people who were priced out of the Heights,” Turner said. Kay Harnden, a realtor with Berkshire Hathaway, is one Brooke Smith homeowner who got in early. As someone with “a soft spot for Victorians” she came across a 1-bedroom house on Archer Street in 2003 on a property tour, which she got for $100,000 less than she would have paid for it in the Heights. It was a double lot, and once she married, Harnden and her husband sold the Victorian and relocated a Craftsman style house from

Woodland Heights to the other side of the lot. While it might be families with babies now, the neighborhood had its fair share of drug and prostitution activity back then. “I’ve always been a bit of a pioneer,” said Harnden, who with her husband has bought and renovated some other houses on the street. Now that developers with deeper pockets are moving in, the renovated houses are selling for $500,000 and up. “If you had asked me ﬁve or six years ago, I wouldn’t have predicted it would change so quickly,” Turner said. Schlemmer notes that the appeal of Brooke Smith is partly due to the way that investors and homeowners are embracing the period of the homes. See Growth, P. 2B

“Remodeling your current home can be a very lucrative investment, if it is done properly. However, there are some very important things to keep in mind. First, be sure you are hiring a reputable contractor or builder to do the work. Always check their references and the BBB. Secondly, be sure that someone is around and available to check the work and progress of the contractor you have chosen. This will avoid any mistakes or miscommunications before they happen and keep the progress moving along smoothly. Also, it is important to know that the alterations you are doing to your home are actually adding value and marketability should you decide to sell your home. A good architect is invaluable if you are adding on to your home. As an added service,

While real estate is probably the biggest business in our area right now, the growth of our neighborhoods has spurred cottage industries like remodeling, and many homeowners are currently remodeling their homes. Is doing so always a good investment to make in an older home? If so, why? If not, why? I oﬀer my clients a free consultation before they begin work on their home. I always welcome a phone call or visit. I can oﬀer advice on design, colors, etc. before money is spent on items that may not necessarily add value to your home. The rooms that I would concentrate on are your kitchen, baths, family room, and master bedroom. These are the rooms that have the most impact to a home. Lastly, know the value of your home before you begin so that you do not over improve your property! This is one of the single most important steps. If you are not a client currently, please do not hesitate to call. I am always happy to help.” - Leann Salmons, Broker Associate, Martha Turner Sotheby’s International

“It is not “always” a good investment to remodel an older home. Sometimes it is wise but there are key questions to answer before you do. Just some are; Do you plan to remain in the home and enjoy it? Do you just want to bring it up to match a greater degree of what the current markets’ buyers are demanding? Not one obvious answer here and much depends on your goals and where the house is located. Bottom line, don’t just guess or spend money before you seek the counsel of a local real estate expert that has done the research and is willing to share her knowledge into this unique housing market.” - Dana Shinn, The Reyna Realty Group

â€œThere are a lot of renovations versus new construction,â€? she said. â€œTownhomes didnâ€™t sell here. People want single family homes.â€? Lindale Park Another neighborhood that is getting more attention, albeit growing more slowly than Brooke Smith, is the Lindale Park area east of Norhill and Woodland Heights. Its boundaries are Interstate 610 on the north, Moody Street on the south, Robertson Street on the east, and Fulton Street on the west. â€œPeople are interested in the area because of the easy access to the new rail line,â€? Schlemmer said. â€œA lot is happening there, but itâ€™s really in its infancy.â€? One resident who has been there since the 1980s is State Senator Sylvia Garcia. â€œI bought my house because I loved the trees,â€? Garcia said, noting that even as the area is changing demographically and generationally, it has maintained its small town charm. Garcia said that the establishment of light rail is contributing to the beautiďŹ cation of Fulton Street, with derelict buildings being demolished and replaced with new businesses. Turner said that in her experience itâ€™s an area that appeals to a buyer who is a little more of a risk-taker, who may not have found anything anywhere else in their price range. â€œThere are builders who are working there but they are not as established as those in Brooke Smith,â€? Turner said. â€œThere are a lot of ďŹ rst time investors.â€? Harnden notes she put an offer on a home in Lindale Park for a client a few weeks ago and that they were one of 22 offers. â€œWe went in at $20,000 over the $219,900 list price and still got beat out,â€? Harnden said. â€œLindale Park is deďŹ nitely on the upswing after stagnating for a few years.â€? Schlemmer sees a little new construction and notes that the neighborhoods are banding together to put in some restrictions with regard to lot size and high density development to preserve the integrity

â€œWeâ€™re becoming more diverse,â€? Turner said. â€œThere are Caucasian families moving in, Hispanic families moving in. A lot of people are having kids too.â€? Like the Turnerâ€™s neighbor Jacob Honey who grew up in the area and went to St. Pius. He moved to Shepherd Park Terrace in 2004 after he gave his realtor leeway look as far north as Spring Branch. He and his wife have a two and eight year old daughter who affectionately call Turner their â€œbest neighbor.â€?

of the area. Senator Garcia is one of those people. â€œWe like it the way it is,â€? Garcia said. Shepherd Park Terrace The third neighborhood, Shepherd Park Terrace, is one that is ďŹ rmly established, but seems to be entering a resurgence of late. Established in the 1960s at the same time as nearby Shepherd Park Plaza, the neighborhood has traditionally been a close knit African-American community with an active neighborhood association and a Christmas light display that once drew tourists on buses. Realtor Pat Walker is a big fan of the area and notes that the neighborhoodâ€™s price per square foot ($76) compares very favorably with Shepherd Park Plaza ($156) and Candlelight Plaza ($150). Homes regularly sell for under $200,000. â€œThereâ€™s a great opportunity to buy a home for a reasonable price and renovate it,â€? said Jena Turner. â€œHowever, the developers are moving in too.â€? Themetta Turner and husband Oscar have lived in Shepherd Park Terrace for the past 18 years and raised their daughter there. They enjoy the friendliness of their neighbors, and the proximity to downtown as well as the White Oak hike/bike trail. They donâ€™t plan on selling anytime soon, but Turner has seen quite a change come to her neighborhood, as older residents have died or moved to assisted living.

But like most best kept secrets, once the word gets out, itâ€™s out. Themetta Turner said she recommended that a friend look at a nearby house to buy. The house in question turned out to be $340,000, a steep increase as compared to other recent sales. â€œThese neighborhoods are the next logical step,â€? Schlemmer said. â€œThey have close proximity to strong areas. The Heights, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest are all so expensive. People want more cost effective alternatives.â€?

Fine Arts Director changes anthem on music education By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com

Like many other teachers working in Houston ISD, David White grew up in the district. A music prodigy, White attended Sam Houston State University on a music scholarship but discovered he was behind many of his fellow peers. After studying education, White set his goal as a teacher to help put students ahead of the learning curve and on a better path to success if they so choose. White now serves as Director of Fine Arts and Music Director of Band and Orchestra for Acres Homes Middle School and Elementaries. From the beginning, White faced numerous challenges, particularly from those who weren’t welcoming of his mindset. White said others questioned why he pursued a more academic focus rather than sticking to traditional band and, even more so, drum line. However, White said the program has continued to receive positive attention and growth at his schools. When the program ﬁrst began under White’s leadership, there were only 20 children signed up from the previous year. While a few dropped from the program after learning of White’s focus on music literacy, by the end of the year White had about 150 students in his class. White expected another increase of approximately 50 students the following year, but the program ballooned to over 300 students total. White said some students can stay within a music program for years and not know

how to read music, which is an invaluable tool for students wanting to pursue more music education. “If you’re a good player and able to read music, you’ll be able to go on to any program you want,” White said. “For some of our students right now, this is just for fun. Later on if they decide this is what I’m going to do for a living they are ready for it. We may not have strong focus on the ‘fun activities’ but these kids can read music.” Like many other schools and music programs, White also faces challenges regarding his budget. When the orchestra program ﬁrst started, the school had no orchestra instruments or music and the current band hall once served as a disciplinary room. White turned his attention to the HISD Furniture Services, where schools can take various things they don’t want or need, and found the base of his orchestra instruments. He also made calls to businesses, spent money out of his own pocket, traded personal band equipment and called in some other favors to supply enough instruments to get the program off the ground. While White has only been able to spend his budget on repairs and supplies, he did obtain uniforms including jackets, skirt, tuxedo shirts, bow ties and cumber buttons. Heights

Cleaners also donated the dry cleaning of each uniform free of charge. Working with budget constraints is nothing new, White said. However, in terms of enriching students’ music education and providing a positive environment for learning, the price for things like instruments and uniforms is well worth it. “So far I’ve seen a lot of interest in the program from the parents and in the community,” Principal of Heights Elementary School Taiam Simmons said. “Lots of parents

are actually wanting their kids to participate and learn to play the instruments and then to be able to matriculate into a larger program at some point. “I think the program is exactly what our school and the community needs to be able to differentiate diversity and at some point will be a selling point for when parents are looking for something different in ﬁne arts in their community. We want our kids in our community to stay here and go to school here.”

Oak Forest resident follows dream with new brew shop here, it made it all that much better for us to say let’s do it,” Weiershausen said. The process of opening the brew shop doors hasn’t been an easy journey, Weirerhausen “The city is really busy right now,” Weiershausen said. “The plan review process took about three months. It was a lot because there is only about one other brew shop in Houston city proper. I don’t think a lot of the plan reviewers understood that Farmboy Brew Shop is a retail shop.” Now that the doors are open and the Farmboy Brew Shop logo is displayed in the window, Weiershausen says that he has had several people come by to just see what’s going on and who’s the new tenant. “It’s fun sitting at the front of the ofﬁce and watching people walk by because everyone will stop and look at our sign,” Weiershausen said. When looking for a location, Weiershausen says there weren’t too many locations to consider and there is space Ad # 31953 available in ofﬁces and ware-

By Christina Martinez christina@theleadernews.com There’s a new tenant in the Garden Oaks Shopping Center that isn’t your typical business - Oak Forest residents Landon and Natalie Weiershausen have taken over what was once a title car loan office and turned the space into a one-stop-shop for home brewing and wine making needs. Weiershausen grew up in West Texas on a wheat farm and his family comes from four generations of farmers. His blue collar work ethic is part of the foundation of his business and for about seven years now Weiershausen has been brewing his own beer. Weirerhausen named the brew Farmboy Brew, in line with his roots, however he ran into issues with brewing his own beer following his move into Oak Forest. “We moved into Oak Forest about two and a half years ago and there just wasn’t a brew shop around.,” Weiershausen said. “It was tough getting my ingredients or I had to order them online.” Weiershausen met his wife while they were in college at the University of Texas. After his wife graduated, Weirshausen had schooling to finish and needed to buckle down on what path to take to finish his education. “For a couple of years I was finishing up my school and I just didn’t know what I wanted to do,” Weiershausen said. “Every time we would pass a leasing sign, I would say ‘oh I can put a brew shop there,’ but just as something on the side. When I graduated I started looking at office jobs in oil and gas and had some people helping me with that, but I realized that I’m probably not the person that plays well in an office cubicle environment.” During his job search, Weiershausen’s wife Natalie gave him the push to run with the brew shop idea. Weiershausen researched the brew shop business and its potential in the area and with each day the business became more of a reality. “As soon as we realized that this is something people want

HALLOWEEN TIPS TO KEEP YOUR FANGS HEALTHY

West 34th St.

Chase Baker, D.D.S.

W

ith Halloween this week, the candy treats abound. It seems everywhere over the last several days has someone that is trying to force some sugar on me (which I admit, I’m not the best at turning down). Kids aren’t the only ones partaking of the sweets this time of year. We’re all under attack from the sugar bugs. With that in mind, if you decide to indulge, here are a few helpful tips to help keep you and your little monsters out of the dentist’s chair. SUGAR-FREE: The best candy to choose are sugar-free or those containing Xylitol as a sweetener. Xylitol has been shown to help strengthen your enamel and fight cavity forming bacteria. CHOCOLATE: Chocolate is better than most, because it melts quickly in the mouth so the sugars are left in the mouth for a shorter period of time. AVOID STICKY/HARD CANDY: Hard candies tend to be left in the mouth for extended periods of time allowing the sugars to coat the teeth. If chewed, they can also lead to tooth fracture. Sticky candies can be difficult to get cleaned off which keeps the sugar in contact with the teeth. DRINK MORE WATER: Water helps to wash off sugars from your teeth, keeping them from settling in and starting decay. BRUSH AND FLOSS: Brushing, flossing and regular check ups from your dentist will help to keep you and your kid’s teeth from looking like your Jack O’ Lantern.

PET EMERGENCIES

(1 mile North of HWY 290)

“If you have a good honest mechanic - Keep him.

Fredrick’s

Classes Enrolling Now Japanese Martial Arts 40 yrs experience 8th Degree Black Belt

Being prepared for handling emergencies is part of responsible pet ownership. Most emergencies are preventable so be aware of what your pet is exposed to such as plants, toxins, insects or dangerous animals. Look for situations that can occur, such as hangings by collars or ropes, swallowing bones or toys or escaping from a secure house or yard. Routine consulting & preventative medicine by your vet can eliminate many emergencies from developing. Act early if you suspect a problem. Call your vet for advice or use you own judgement & get to the clinic. Emergencies do interrupt the clinic routine so be prepared to spend more time and money especially near closing time. The best care if your clinic is closed or about to be, is an emergency clinic. They are open at night, weekends and holidays when most clinics are closed. They are staffed with alert and skilled people, who work long and undesirable hours. They are fully equipped to treat and monitor your pet while your vet is closed. The emergency clinics will cost more due to higher overhead expenses and you need to be nancially prepared to care for your pet beforehand. In NW Houston if your vet is closed call 281-890-8875 (Hwy 249 near Cypresswood) or 713-693-1100 (near the Galleria).
