Renovation FAQs

Maybe you are buying a fixer upper, or maybe you are in a different stage in life where your home is not keeping up with your needs. Remodeling can be extremely exciting and at the same time intimidating and challenging. It’s important to understand the benefits and challenges before committing to what is often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most.

Why remodel?

The housing supply in Southern California has never been able to keep up with growth and demand and it is poised to remain that way for the forseeable future. The inventory of turn-key homes is dwindling, as flippers snatch up cheap homes in prime neighborhoods, remodeling them with generic styles and cheap materials that require replacing just a few years after moving in. The flippers walk away with massive equity gains that could be, and frankly should be, yours. Going through the renovation process after you have purchased means your home value will go up and you get to live in a home designed for your specific needs.

Make it easy, hire an Interior Designer.

Every remodel comes with its issues and these are usually discovered after construction has already begun. With a skilled designer to manage your project you will never have to deal with the headaches of early morning arguments with contractors or supply chain issues. If you worked with your designer to develop quality renderings of your desired outcome then nothing will be left to chance and the designer can use those renderings to keep all decisions leading towards the desired design intent of the project. Contractors manage the trades. Designers manage the contractors, landscapers, and city officials so that everyone maintains their focus and standards, and your project is tightly controlled.
