Don't Move. Improve!

You may already be living in your dream home and you just don't realize it!

You don't need to leave your neighborhood to get the home that you want. All you need is a list of what you would like to improve, a designer to help you visualize it and a builder to get it done.

There are many reasons why remodeling could be the better choice for you.
Here is our top 5 reasons to remodel:

1. Customization:
You get to customize the way you live! You are already settled into your life, why leave your great neighborhood and uproot your family to get the home you want? Stay put and fix it up.

2. Cost Effective:
The only other option that comes close to living in your deam home would be to build a custom home from the ground up. While K.C. Customs can do this for you, you should know it is more costly than just making a few changes/updates to your existing home.
Even if you just moved to a new home there is no guarantee it will have everything you need/want. Buying a new home and paying all the moving costs would be a lot more expensive and inconvenient than staying in your current one.

3. Double your space:
You can double your living space by building up, finishing your basement or utilizing garage space. Maybe your family is growing and all you need is another bedroom, or just another bathroom. A new addition would be a simple solution to a "growing" problem.

4. Value:
Increase the value of your home simply by updating materials. Next to adding living space with a bedroom addition, the best way to increase value is to remodel your kitchen. With a kitchen, it is all confined to one space of your home. Update your cabinetry, get a new counter material, add interest with a backsplash... There are numerous simple ways to update the space.

5. Energy Savings:
New windows, insulation, roofing and weather stripping to seal up the house so you don't need as much energy to heat or cool your home.
More efficient equipment such as tankless water heaters that use less energy. This water heater fires up instant heat so it isn't running when you don't need it. If you take a 15 min. shower you've only used 15 min. compared to 1,440 min. (that's 24 hours)
Cutting down on wattage (electrical use) by utilizing different lights. Fluorescent lights only take 24 Watt and LED lights take even less at 7 Watts. Compare this to your normal Incandescent light at 75 Watts and you can clearly see the difference in energy used.
