Message from the NARI Atlanta President

The past few years have been nothing short of a roller coaster ride for most of us, personally and professionally, and the remodeling industry in Atlanta has seen unprecedented growth. In spite of the ups and downs of life and the economy, when you are in need of any remodeling services, we hope you’ll make the right choice and put your trust in a professional organization such as NARI (the National Association of the Remodeling Industry) and give yourself the peace of mind that you are working with an exceptional partner.

Our members perform at a higher level. They shape the future of residential remodeling through continuing education and the use of innovative techniques and building solutions that homeowners demand. In addition to our Remodeling Contractor Members, we also have Supplier Members ranging from flooring experts and countertops fabricators, to plumbing retailers and roofing contractors.

Beginning this year, NARI Atlanta is proud to partner with the TeamWorks Technical Committee at the SkillsUSA® National Competition (being held at the GA World Congress Center for the next 5 years). The TeamWorks competition recognizes outstanding high school and college students for excellence in a variety of residential construction related skills. By partnering with TeamWorks, NARI Atlanta is promoting workforce development by supporting future skilled tradesmen and women.

The NARI Atlanta Foundation, Inc. (known as NARI Cares) is the charitable arm of our organization and exists to provide NARI Atlanta Members with opportunities to serve the Atlanta community utilizing their professional skills and resources. We are currently renovating the interior of an Airstream trailer for the charity Children Helping Children, who will use the trailer to collect and transport donations and for art therapy and wellness initiatives for kids and teens in need.

Remodeling is a physical embodiment of rebirth and growth, and Spring is a time for fresh ideas, new beginnings, and home remodeling. The season also marks the time when Atlanta homeowners seek out contractors who can turn their dream homes into reality. To commemorate May as National Home Improvement Month, NARI Atlanta would like to offer you a few words of advice for planning your remodel.

With homeowners spending more time at home than ever before, demand for home improvements has skyrocketed, leaving quality contractors booked far in advance. If you are thinking about a remodel project, we recommend the following steps to help kick-start the process:

■ Think your project through from start to finish. Careful planning of your home improvement project 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.

If you are considering a small-scale remodeling project or are ready to invest in a full-scale home renovation, you have found the best resource to get started. On behalf of all NARI Atlanta members, we appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to make your dreams reality.

NARI Atlanta is a non-profit, professional membership association for remodeling contractors, product manufacturers and retailers, designers, and related service providers. Its members voluntarily subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and have access to cutting edge education, the industry’s most rigorous certification courses, as well as business development and marketing opportunities. A list of NARI Atlanta member companies can be found in the following pages.

Creating a Positive Working Relationship With Your Contractor

When remodeling a home or restoring a house after damage, it can be a stressful time for many homeowners; NARI Atlanta would like to give some guidance to homeowners to help them make things go as smoothly as possible.

Here are some steps you can take to be a dream client for any contractor: Keep the Lines of Communication Open - Communication is the key to success in any relationship, which also applies to the homeowner and contractor relationship. Remodeling a home can be confusing, and customers must ask questions about what they don’t understand. Doing so will ensure that everyone is on the same page and has the exact expectations of the project. The last thing you want is an

unpleasant surprise.

Have A Clear Vision of Your Project -

When hiring your remodeling expert, you must have a clearly defined project; this means you and your spouse have already agreed on the project parameters and the budget. There may need to be some give and take with the contractor in order to bring the project in on time and within budget, so have a list of priorities and be prepared to make compromises on some items if necessary.

Allow the Experts to Run the ShowMake time in your schedule to meet when your remodeler asks for a meeting. Listen to what your expert says and be proactive during the exchange. Don’t be afraid to ask

for alternatives if a given product or course of action proves to be too expensive or overly ambitious.

Timely Payment - This is a courtesy that can go a long way towards having a good relationship with your remodeler. Many remodelers have multiple projects going on at the same time, and your timely payment makes it easier for them to finish your job on time. Keep in mind, many home remodelers are small companies and depend on your payment to pay their workers and suppliers.

Please and Thank You - Everyone wants to be appreciated and saying please when requesting service and thank you for a job well done seems like common sense. Take

this a step further and thank your expert by writing a great review or sending them a personal thank you card after your project is complete.

Remodeling and home renovation can be stressful; it takes effort from both parties to keep things running smoothly. Do your homework and remember to have patience. Being open and honest about your goals and budget helps your remodeling expert to manage your expectations and to bring your project to life.

5 Steps to Make Your Home Office Succeed in a Small Space

is on the small side. Fortunately, you don’t need a mansion to give yourself the perfect workspace.

Have a Layout

design to help you visualize your options. The right plan can be the foundation of your office, so invest in it.

Budget for Everything

Having a home office can be the ideal solution to separate work from the rest of our daily lives. Yet, it can seem like a pipe dream if your property

Before you start making any changes, however, you have to plan out what type of home office your space can accommodate. With that in mind, ask yourself what your work will involve and what you need to fulfill your goals. For instance, you might only need a computer and desk, but you may require more than that if you expect to meet clients in your home. To get the most out of your space, measure the dimensions of where you want to set up your office and make a layout for it. If you want, you could sketch out your

Once you have a plan, you can budget around it and make adjustments where necessary. Thankfully, making an effective budget can be as basic as tracking your monthly earnings and expenses and recording them over the long-term. Your budget must factor in the big and small investments your office will need, such as supplies, furniture, a quality internet connection, and even potentially increased energy bills. Still, you don’t have to buy new items to furnish your office, so shop around and look for deals. In the end, you may find that the perfect computer or desk for you are pre-loved items that your office just as well as premium options (you can often find pre-owned laptops on sites like Amazon).

Consider Help

An important step to designing your home office is developing the space you have. That could involve decluttering and reorganizing your

environment to reclaim unused real estate. Of course, if there is a lot of clutter, dealing with it can become overwhelming and take your mind off your goals. Fortunately, you can bring in some professional help, as a home organizing consultant in Atlanta usually ranges from $220 to $671. They can support your efforts to declutter and tidy up, and their experience can give you insights to use in the future.

Adapt Your Storage

A tight space will need creative solutions for storage. In fact, storage can be used as attractive décor or even integrated into furniture. This could, for example, allow you to spread the burden across your home by using bed or coffee table storage for extra office supplies. Likewise, you could go vertical by putting in a hidden door bookshelf for added storage while giving your office a decorative flair. Your filing system needn’t rely on traditional cabinets, either, as they could be turned into an attractive ottoman or vertical wall rack. Your strategy can be as creative as you want, allowing you to take advantage of the smallest of spaces.

Improvise, Improvise

Regardless of your home’s size, you can put together a functional office. It may simply be a space in a corner, but the right fixtures and furniture can ensure it serves its purpose. After all, the basis of any successful office is a desk, and they come in all shapes and sizes. For instance, if you cannot fit a traditional model into your home, you could put in a hanging desk custom-designed to your dimensions. If your space is even tighter, you might transform a small nook, such as a closet, into an alcove workspace. Similarly, lighting doesn’t have to take up valuable space, as track and recessed lighting can offer useful illumination. This can alleviate the pressure of needing large lamps for your place of work. A home office can restore balance to your house and give you peace of mind. With plenty of preparation, a well-planned budget, and creative storage, you can have a place perfect for productivity. Your office no longer needs to be held back because of limited space.
