Homeowners and homebuyers can see the latest home trends and products as well as learn more about mortgage lending, building and remodeling services during the East Texas Builders Association 2022 Home & Design Show.

The public is invited to attend the three-day event set for Friday, Feb. 11 from 5 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 13 from noon to 4 p.m., at the Maude Cobb Convention Center, 100 Grand Blvd. in Longview.

“The Home & Design show is a chance for the community to see a variety of companies offering home-related services under one roof. Vendors will showcase everything from the latest home trends such as granite countertops, lighting, flooring, landscaping, pool designs and more.

Vital to a successful renovation

Planning Ahead

Remodeling projects are significant undertakings. Homeowners must consider a host of variables before any such project can begin. While planning ahead may take time, it is essential to ensuring successful completion of a renovation project.

Consider these pre-renovation planning pointers to help any job go smoothly.

• Determine your motivation for renovating Renovation projects often involve balancing needs and wants, and determining if a project is a necessity or a luxury can set the timeline and course of the project. Is the roof leaking? If so, immediate action is necessary. Could the kitchen be a bit more functional? If the kitchen is still manageable, a homeowner may be able to wait a little bit to get better prices on appliances or contracting services.

• Get professional advice Many homeowners are under the impression that doing the work themselves can save a considerable amount of money. This may be the case for homeowners with renovation experience. But by and large, professional contractors are an asset to any renovation. They can provide a realistic overview of the project, map out projected costs, point out areas that could be troublesome, and may have industry contacts that can keep supply costs low. Even if a homeowner will do a portion of the job, a contractor can do the bulk of the work and keep the project on budget.

• Get necessary permits Permits are designed to ensure the work is being done to code and in a safe manner. However, they are not without additional costs and processing time, and that can cause some homeowners to skip this step. According to the home information site The Spruce, building permits cost anywhere from $400 to about $2,200 for new home construction. Building permits for smaller projects can cost $100 or less, and typically are based on a percentage of the anticipated cost of the project.

A permit may be issued the day the application is submitted, while other cities and towns may issue permits up to two or more weeks later.

If it comes to light a homeowner did work without a required permit, he or she may face penalties; may have to tear out work done to have it inspected or redone; some may be unable to sell a home until permits have been obtained and work has been done to code. © Metro Creative

“With pricing increases and challenges receiving different materials, it speaks volumes about where our vendors are in their businesses to come out and be part of this event. For the local companies to have products to display and to be able to bring staff as well, it shows how hard East Texas vendors and builders are working to stay up to date and have what the homeowners need on hand and provide those services,” Daughtry said.

Along with vendors from across East Texas, Daughtry said others are from Shreveport, the Dallas-Fort Worth

Daughtry said organizers expect to see a great turnout and are looking forward to putting on this year’s show.

Tickets are available in advance now for $5 online or at the East Texas Builders Association office, 2023 Alpine Rd. in Longview, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tickets will be $7 at the event.

Renovating your kitchen?

flooring Popular

materials to consider

Kitchens have long been considered the most popular gathering spaces in a home.

That popularity compels millions of homeowners to renovate their kitchens each year, and the return on those investments is often significant. other types of flooring. But its budgetfriendliness is not the only benefit of vinyl flooring, which HGTV notes is easy to clean, making it an ideal choice for families that routinely confront spills and stains.

HomeAdvisor notes that vinyl is the best waterproof material among all kitchen floors.

A number of variables, including the value of neighboring homes and how quickly homeowners sell their homes after a renovation, affect the return on investment with a given project. According to Remodeling magazine’s “2021 Cost vs. Value Report,” homeowners recouped roughly 72 percent of their investment in a minor kitchen remodel at resale. That’s a sizable return that outperformed other popular upgrades, including vinyl siding replacement and wood deck additions.

When renovating kitchens, homeowners will have to consider various components within the room, including the floors.

Average flooring costs can be hard to calculate because they depend so heavily on homeowners’ choice of materials. The following are some popular flooring materials that homeowners can consider as they plan to renovate their kitchens.

• Porcelain/ceramic tile HomeAdvisor reports that the average cost to install porcelain or ceramic tile flooring is between $885 and $2,994. That’s less than the average cost to install stone or wood flooring. Porcelain or ceramic tiles can be slippery when they get wet, though HGTV notes that some porcelain flooring tiles have been certified as slip-resistant by the Americans with Disabilities Act. • Hardwood It’s hard to beat hardwood when it comes to aesthetic appeal. Hardwood can be especially suitable in homes with open-concept floor plans that already have hardwood floors in surrounding rooms.

HomeAdvisor notes that hardwood flooring installation can be costly, which might

• Vinyl Vinyl flooring is popular thanks in large part to its cost. According to the home remodeling experts at HomeAdvisor, vinyl flooring installation is much less costly than

make it a less realistic option for budgetconscious homeowners. According to HGTV, engineered wood planks may be something to consider in the kitchen, as these are designed to be less susceptible to humidity and temperature. That’s an important component to consider in the kitchen, where temperatures can fluctuate while meals are being prepared.

• Stone Natural stone tile is another popular kitchen flooring material. HomeAdvisor traces that popularity to its wide variety of styles and price points, which make it a realistic option for homeowners working with budgets big and small. Stone tiles also provide a unique look because no two look the same, which might appeal to homeowners who want their kitchen floors to create a one-of-akind impression.

Home Renovations

How to cut costs

Do you still have an avocado green kitchen? Is your living room dank and dark? Perhaps there is only one bathroom for a family of six? Answering yes to any of these questions could serve as the catalyst for a home renovation project.

Home improvement projects come in all shapes and sizes — some with huge budgets and others that are more cost-conscious. Regardless of what homeowners hope to achieve with their renovations, a common goal across any price point is a desire to save as much money as possible.

Home renovations can be expensive, but there are ways to cut costs.

Assess the merit of the project.

Remodeling magazine annually publishes a Cost vs. Value Report that lists the average cost and return on investment homeowners can expect of various types of projects. If you’re planning to sell your home soon, it may be best to focus on repairs and renovations that will generate the most substantial ROI. Hire a contractor. Even avid doit-yourselfers can sometimes benefit from a contractor’s expertise, particularly for complex tasks. Don’t waste money by trying tough jobs yourself; rely on an experienced contractor who can get supplies for less money and will do the job right the first time.

Compare bids from several different contractors and figure out the best value.

Refurbish existing features. Rather than a complete gut and rebuild, figure out where you can revitalize existing fixtures and more. For example, refinishing existing cabinets can save you up to 50 percent compared with the cost of new cabinetry, according to Angi (formerly

Angie’s List), a cost comparison and business review resource.

Choose midgrade materials. Certain materials may be all the rage but they come with a higher price tag. Angi reports that granite counters could be $60 to $100 per square foot. However, a composite or laminate that looks like granite and wears well may be $10 to 40 per square foot. Figure out where you can choose middle-of-the-road materials for maximum value.

Avoid peak seasons. You’ll pay more to install a deck or a pool right before the outdoor entertaining season. There also may be a premium to get work done right before a major holiday.

Therefore, consult the calendar to find an off time for a renovation and book it then to save.

Do some prep work. You might be able to save by doing some of the demolition and preparatory work yourself. For example, you can tear up old carpeting before the installation of new tile floors. Perhaps you can mend and patch up walls before a paint job.

Buy a display item. Former showroom kitchens and baths often are sourced at a fraction of their recommended retail prices, according to Real Homes, a home remodel guide based in the United Kingdom.

Retailers often update their displays and you may score existing showroom items at a discount.

Renovations can be expensive, but there are many different ways to cut costs. © Metro Creative
