Staircase Update
The staircase is often a focal point in many North Texas homes, and much like an outdated fireplace design, a staircase that screams 1980 is also a problem. Staircase upgrades from baluster/spindle replacements to a complete overhaul including risers, handrails/Banister, and a modern style will bring your home up-to-date and bring a return on the investment.
Beautiful Spaces
Designers know how to increase the value—from increasing curb appeal, updating your flooring, or choosing the best paint colors to sell your house, an interior designer will give you the best tips to elevate your space and know which updates are worth the investment. They also know how to stage a home to show the best placement for furniture so the flow of your home makes sense and optimizes the floorplan best.
Open Concept
Real estate experts agree that an open layout can increase the resale value of your home. In fact, some houses sell for as much as 15% more than sectional floor plans. And if the work is good, homeowners can make an even bigger profit. Taking down a few walls — especially if they are not load-bearing — makes the space feel larger and is a desirable floorplan for those looking to sell their home.
IF THERE’S ONE WORD THAT DESCRIBES NORTH TEXAS WEATHER, IT’S EXTREME. Scorching summers, bitter winters, periods of relentless precipitation followed by long dry spells — it’s a wonder plants survive here at all. But for over 34 years, James Landscaping, Inc. has been working wonders for homeowners. With their expertise and passion for creating lush, vibrant landscapes, this local landscape company has built an impressive legacy by delivering results that meet the unique demands of our region. Case in point, this month’s beautiful featured property was transformed from a conventional grass lawn into something extraordinary. The homeowners, who’ve been loyal James Landscaping clients for years, entrusted them with their dream of a low maintenance, resource-efficient and aesthetically pleasing landscape.
