What You Need to Know about a Complete Home Remodel in Santa Clara, CA?
Santa Clara has been changing over the last few decades, and there is a variety of different developments all around the city. This is why it’s hard to make specific statements because remodeling an apartment is not the same as remodeling a detached house.
Some things stay the same, though. “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” as the French say, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
It all starts with your desire. You need to want to remodel your home and have a general idea of your style, as without a clear goal, there is a good chance that nothing will get you the real satisfaction of a freshly remodeled home. From that point, future pieces will pile on each other like Legos.
Once you know what you want, you will want to speak with our expert consultants and do an inspection. Inspections might seem intrusive, and many people will receive information about their homes that they might not want to hear, but it is necessary. It is also plausible that some of your wishes are simply not plausible or don’t work out as you have imagined.
Our experienced architects and designers will come after that to make a plan and model how your home will look in the future. This will not only be a floor plan but also a 3D “walkthrough” model where you can see exactly how your home will look and can change everything.
Finally, it is up to the construction workers and craftsmen to turn that plan into reality and give their finishing touches. Experience, tools, material sourcing, and everything else at this point is the real reason why you should always have a good general contractor (GC) rather than do it yourself.
Expert Consultations
Construction and remodeling consultants are not salespeople, and while everyone at ASL Remodeling is kind and good people, you won’t always like what they have to say. This is because consultants are there to tell you what can reasonably be done with the time and budget you have dedicated.
However, they are also there to provide solutions and alternatives. In many cases, the result you will have after consultations will be much better than what you have imagined in the beginning. And even if you decide to postpone your remodeling, you will have a better picture of what you should do.
Inspection and Planning
Most people won’t like what they hear for the inspection, and you should be ready for some less-than-pleasant news. It is necessary, though – and since you are already remodeling, there was never a better time to solve all the problems you didn’t even know you had.
When there is a complete picture, the architects and designers can jump on the job and create a floor plan and a 3D model. There, you can see exactly how your home will look and give suggestions.
This type of holistic approach to remodeling, where your contractor will provide for every step of the way, means that before you ever need to step out of your home to allow for the remodel, you will have a complete picture of the goal, how much time the remodeling will take, and finally how much will it cost you.
How to Remodel Your Entire Home?
Even for the initial ideal process, it isn’t a bad idea to call an experienced contractor and share your plan with them. That way, you can learn about every step of the process and be prepared for the discovery portion, inspections, waiting on administration, and sourcing materials.
It is much preferable to plan, finance, and source your remodeling as much in advance as possible. Especially with the volatility of material prices, as we have been seeing in the last few years, you don’t want to be surprised mid-project that something has become more expensive.
Another option is to have several alternatives in play as every leg of the project is being finished. While such remodeling is much more frequent for commercial buildings, they are becoming increasingly popular for residential properties as well.
Floor Plan Design
With experienced contractors, changing the floor design is both easy and safe. This is because an honest contractor will tell you in advance what is possible and what isn’t, frequently right off the bat because they know from before.
You will also see in the 3D model how the new rooms will look, so there is no fear that something will end up smaller than you imagined or that you will be left with a lot of hollow space.
This also works for Auxiliary Dwelling Units (ADUs), where additional rooms might be constructed by either building on the same lot or remodeling the basement, attic, or above the garage.
Remodeling Your Kitchen
Never let your kitchen be a passing thought for your home remodel. A good kitchen can be a focal space in any home and a place where you love spending time. With an experienced contractor, you will have a kitchen that is not just good-looking but ultimately useful and comfortable for eating and hanging out.
Remodeling Your Bathroom
Bathrooms should be private, comfortable, and clean; they should allow you to distress from the day or collect energy in the morning. With experienced contractors, you can use the best materials and masterwork craftsmanship to make your bathroom impeccable.
