Mixing colors with a bit of old and new along with warming up cooler hard surfaces with wood has become the latest trend in kitchens.

WHEN IT’S TIME TO RENOVATE YOUR KITCHEN

To determine if it’s time to renovate your kitchen, you should walk into the room and objectively evaluate it. Are the floor tiles cracked? Do you have water damage under your kitchen sink? Are there cabinets and drawers you don’t use because they’re damaged or filthy? Are your appliances decades old? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, it’s probably time to consider renovating and updating your kitchen.

The number one reason that most homeowners choose to renovate their kitchen is because they’ve become outdated. Kitchens have become the focal point of the home. Newer kitchens are often larger with more cabinet and counter space and contain impromptu seating via islands or peninsulas. Modern kitchens also tend to have clean lines, neutral colors and easy to clean surfaces.

A kitchen remodel can update the look, feel and function of your kitchen so that it is no longer a chore to prepare and cook meals while chatting with your family, friends and guests.

Kitchen renovations are relatively affordable, depending on the scope of the remodel and the size of the kitchen.

For homeowners who are trying to decide whether they can afford their remodel, it Continued on Page 10

might help to look at your home’s equity and consider the costs of renovating your kitchen versus purchasing a new home with a larger kitchen. It’s often much less expensive to update and renovate your existing spaces than move.

Your needs for your kitchen are going to change throughout your life. Your kitchen should be ready to handle your lifestyle changes. When you first moved into your home your kitchen was perfect for just you or you and your spouse. As time went on, you had kids and those kids got older. Now, you find yourself needing dedicated homework or project space, spaces to charge digital devices and areas where you can socialize with your growing family and friends or neighbors.

Since kitchens are one of the most utilized rooms in the home, they are more prone to experiencing damage and getting broken. A kitchen remodel can also help you get the versatile spaces you need from storing more kitchen appliances and having dedicated areas for eating to homework and personal projects. If you have a smaller kitchen in an older home, a kitchen remodel can allow you to remove walls and create better flow while giving you clean sight lines into other parts of your home, like the family or dining rooms. Additionally, most new appliances are Energy Star rated, which means you’ll save money on your monthly utility bills.

If you are looking to sell your home in the next few years, a kitchen remodel can attract more buyers and help your home sell faster. The kitchen is an area that potential homebuyers look at first for overall layout, appearance of appliances and amount of counter space.

If these things don’t measure up to the buyer’s expectations, they may start thinking about how much it’s going to cost to perform a kitchen renovation soon and decrease their offer by the anticipated cost of the potential remodel.

As a homeowner, you can expect to recoup between 60 and 80 percent of your kitchen remodel costs when you sell your home and you’ll get to enjoy it as long as you remain in your home.

HIRING A CONTRACTOR

For most homeowners, the hardest part of any home renovation project isn’t the work itself, it’s finding a competent and reliable contractor to do the job. Installing kitchen cabinets, knocking down a wall or retiling the bathroom is simple compared with the struggle of hiring a quality contractor who will perform at a high level from start to finish.

Even with a good contractor, renovation can be stressful and involve unpleasant surprises, such as rotted subfloors that are revealed when tile is removed or dangerous electrical wiring or leaking pipes behind walls.

Choosing the right contractor can make the difference between a successful home renovation project and a disaster.

It can be difficult to hire contractors and know what you’re getting. You’re spending a lot of money, and you’re dealing with your home. If they do it wrong, there can be a whole lot of heartache.

If you’re doing a big project, you’ll need a general contractor, who may hire subcontractors for specialty work such as plumbing and electrical.

Homeowners with renovation experience sometimes work as their own general contractors, hiring specific tradespeople for each job. While this may save you money, it can be timeconsuming and will mean multiple contractor searches instead of just one, since you’ll have to find a specialist for each smaller job.

ASK FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND CO-WORKERS FOR REFERENCES People in your neighborhood who have done similar projects are your best sources. If you know people in the building trades, ask them, too.

Employees of local hardware stores may also be able to provide referrals.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR FOR THE RIGHT PROJECT Someone who did a good job tiling your neighbor’s bathroom isn’t necessarily the right person to build an addition to your home. You want to find a company that routinely does the kind of project you want done.

Nearly all home renovation projects require permits. Many fly-by-night companies will suggest the job be done without permits to save money.

Not only does that violate local ordinances and subject you to fines if you’re caught, it means the work will not be inspected by the city or county to make sure it’s up to code. Be wary of contractors who ask you to get the permits – that’s the contractor’s job.

Unpermitted work can also cause problems when it’s time to sell.

DON’T PAY MORE THAN 10 PERCENT OF THE JOB TOTAL BEFORE THE JOB STARTS You don’t want a contractor to use your money to finish someone else’s job. Christian says he will occasionally ask for up to 30 percent if expensive materials are needed immediately.

The contract should include a payment schedule and triggers for progress payments.

ALLOW FOR CONTINGENCIES: No matter how careful you and the contractor are in preparing for the job, there will be surprises that will add to the cost. They can’t see through walls.

Expect to spend at least 10 percent to 15 percent more than your contract.

Negotiate ground rules. Discuss what hours the contractor can work at your home, what kind of notice you’ll get, what bathroom the workers will use and what will be cleaned up at the end of every workday.

TALK TO THE CONTRACTOR FREQUENTLY For a big job, you may need to talk every day. If you see a potential issue, speak up immediately. Something that is done wrong will be harder to fix later after your contractor has packed up and moved on to his next job.

VERIFY INSURANCE COVERAGE Know what is covered by your homeowner’s insurance and what is covered by your contractor’s business insurance.

Get a copy of the company’s insurance policy.

GET LIEN RELEASES AND RECEIPTS FOR PRODUCTS If your contractor doesn’t pay his subcontractors or suppliers, they can put a mechanic’s lien against your house. You want copies of receipts for all the materials, plus lien releases from all the subcontractors and the general contractor before you pay. You can ask for some of those when it’s time for progress payments.

Don’t make the final payment until the job is 100 percent complete. Don’t make the final payment until you are completely satisfied with the work and have all the lien releases and receipts If you follow this basic principles whether planning a major remodel or help with fixing or sprucing up a room or two it will help ensure the job is done right.

Nothing is better than feeling a summer breeze on your face while taking a nap, or listening to the rain while reading a good book. Because these structures have a roof, this will provide a layer between you and the outdoors, keep your furniture dry and bugs out.

Additions such as glass skylights will add additional light and ceiling fans will make it usable for warm days along with cool evenings. Add a TV out there to watch the big game and it will become a gathering spot for friends and family.

SUNROOM: A sunroom is perfect for those who need a healthy dose of Vitamin D when the weather is just too hot to spend outdoors during the day and the weather cools in the evening.

Sunrooms are perfect for reading areas, exercise rooms, growing plants and dining spaces, and you’ll never have to worry about using special outdoor furniture. Ditto on adding the skylights and ceiling fans.

GAZEBO: To feel closer to nature and get away from your home while still having protection from the sun and rain, add a gazebo to your yard. Gazebos are customizable and can be almost any size. Everybody wants one, and they add market value if they are done right.

Whether you’re hanging a swing from it or creating the perfect picnic area, a gazebo is a great place to relax by yourself or bring friends and family together to enjoy fresh air.

PATIO SPACES: patio spaces can be created anywhere from right off your back door to a cool serene space among the trees. There are many materials your contractor can suggest including concrete and a variety of stone that will make your space a great place for outdoor dining or simply a place to enjoy nature with a good book.

LANDSCAPING: Your landscaping contractor can provide you with everything from sprucing up your curb appeal from the street and sprucing up your backyard to screening patio spaces or dedicating separate areas for – entertaining, dining and play.

Shore Siding is locally owned and operated and has been providing professional home improvement services since 1989.

READY TO REMODEL? THESE HOME RENOVATIONS WILL PAY OFF THE MOST

Replacement of your roof is named as the number one return on investment by the National Association of Realtors®.

While homeowners may dream of pulling off some nifty renovations by putting in a hot tub or maybe pulling together an awesome entertainment center, a new report by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) finds that homeowners' money would be better spent on other features.

For NAR’s 2015 Remodeling Impact Report, Realtors ranked home improvement projects based on

expected value at resale (without accounting for project price). Results revealed that the interior project predicted to yield the biggest bang for your buck is right under your feet: your floors. Refinishing hardwood floors will essentially pay for itself – an estimated 100% return on investment, according to Realtors.

Other renovations that rank high on ROI include insulation upgrades (95% recovered), new wood flooring (91%

recovered), and converting unused space to a living area (69% recovered).

The report also found that renovations on a home's exterior can also pay off in spades. According to Realtors, home buyers love a new roof, which will reap 105% of your costs at resale, followed by a new garage door (87%), new vinyl siding (83%), and new vinyl windows (80%).

But renovations aren't just about resale; homeowner also improve their homes so they can enjoy these upgrades themselves. To that end, the NAR report found that 64% of home buyers surveyed say they've experienced increased enjoyment in their home after completing a remodeling project. As for their main motives, 38% of homeowners said they wanted to upgrade worn-out surfaces, finishes and materials, while 17% wanted to add features and improve livability. 13% merely believed it was time for a change.

“Realtors know that certain home

upgrades and remodels can be beneficial to get more buyer eyes on a property, potentially bring in more offers or gain more equity from a home,” said NAR President Tom Salomone, but remodeling projects are just as valuable to homeowners who simply want to get more joy out of their dwellings.”

Overall, the report found that in 2019, Americans should expect to make back 66.1% of the money they spend on renovations—a slight bump from last year's 65.8%.

And the report found that for some projects, the ROI is really worth it, especially those improvements that the whole neighborhood can see – in front of your house. DeKorne notes. "It's all about first impressions."
