By definition…

….a Remodel Consultant, brings forward information pertaining to a remodel to assist in answering all questions pertaining to an individual’s needs so that they can make their decision with confidence.

Why Not Remodel’s goal is to accomplish this for you as a third party, with no vested interest or commissions from any outside individuals or companies.

Decision Making

Sometimes remodeling may not be the right decision. The cost for the remodeling may exceed the value of the property. There is nothing worst than to invest more into a home than the surround neighborhood’s value will return if you someday needed to sell the house.

In some cases selling the house and moving to a house that exists and fits your needs is a more cost effective decision.  Remodeling your home to meet the needs of a growing family or adding on the house to accommodate a home office, could be more expensive than an affordable home located near by that is comparable to your needs.

In extreme cases, where the age of the home and infrastructure of the dwelling will not hold up to modern constructions, a complete rebuild may be a more affordable solution.

Lets face it, sometimes the location of your home in the community just cannot be replaced. The area you reside could be perfect and moving to another area would be more expensive and more importantly, more disruptive to personal and family’s lifestyles.  

So, Why Not Remodel?

Why Not Remodel will research each situation and bring data and information to the table so the property owner can make an informed decision on what is best for them.

NEXT STEP

Once the decision is made,I offer to;

• Facilitate the process for remodeling,
• Make your home ready for sale
• Contacting reputable Realtor in the area to the search for a new home
• or development the process of the complete rebuild.

Remodel:

If remodeling is the direction, WNR helps in providing experience in what can be done and what cannot. Once the concept of the renovation is outlined I sit with the architect and draft out a rough floor plan with elevations showing how the remodel will look once it is finished. Once the final design is scratched out of the rough design, I have the final drawing made up for the homeowner to use to take bids from general contractors. If needed, I can evaluate the bids, check contractors references, review their work and provide an assessment of the bids and make a recommendation on which contractor offers the best deal. I can also oversee the project and make sure the general contractors and all sub-contractors work to a high quality standard.

Move:

If the decision is to prepare the house for a move, WNR make full Home Infrastructure Inspection and prepare a detailed list of all items in the house that will need to be repaired so the full value of the house can be obtained. I will facilitate that all repairs are made.

Rebuild:

If the house is to be completely renovated or completely rebuilt, WNR will oversee the process from the floor plan and architectural prints being drafted to the final inspection with the general contractor.

Cover the Details

As a Remodel Consultant, Why Not Remodel serves…

…as the go between the Homeowner and the general contractors. If you are like most homeowners, your time is valuable and the time spent fining the best general contractor for the job can take a lot of time. Plus, general contractors usually are very good at what they do but not the best in translating effectively what they do to the homer owner. I speak their language and communicate the your needs and wants to them, and more importantly..make sure they do the job right.

… as your advisor on what can and cannot be done. Many times a city ordinance, building code or zoning will not allow for the desired remodel to be done easily. I will advise you, the homeowner, of what the city and the building codes will allow to be done. I will also advise on the process to ask for a variance of a zoning or building code to achieve the remodel or renovation needs.

…you by bring in the experts and reviewing  with professionals in other fields how to over come problems that your remodeling may present.

…as your agent to meeting your remodeling and home repair needs. After we have established a detailed outline of all you wish to achieve with your remodel or home repair, I then represent you with all the contractors and agencies and oversee that your instructions and dreams come true while you go about you normal day’s business.

..as the person who ’sweats the details’…that is what you are paying me to do.
