Remodeling
What often starts out as a small home improvement project often becomes a major remodel. How does that happen? There are many factors involved:
- Lack of expertise in evaluating the project (you’re not expected to know everything)
- Lack of planning project parameters (not everyone is as detail oriented as FTM)
- Unknown factors one finds after the project begins (it was bigger than you thought, dude)
- Poor workmanship of a poorly executed previous job (if your wife calls, we won’t tell)
- Deteriorated understructure (clue: the throne starts leaning…change the seal)
- Project expansion (you keep adding …and adding…and adding …and adding)
Your small home improvement budget now has to stretch to cover a major restoration. Are you prepared for that? So how do you tell if it’s a restoration, a remodel or a simple home improvement project from the beginning? Let FTM advise you.
Remodeling and restoration projects often require more knowledge and expertise than building a new home. While a new home begins with a piece of land and a blank canvas, a major remodel or restoration begins with a pre-existing structure, often with dated under-structure. An already major technical challenge is further complicated by the need to seamlessly incorporate new aesthetics with prior design and cosmetics. During the project, unanticipated adjustments may require “artistic” adaptation to keep the project on tract and reasonably within budget.
Frank Miller understands the unique challenges required of the remodeling contractor. His years of experience and perfectionist nature distinguish FTM Construction projects by careful consideration to every detail. He knows that home remodeling requires sensitivity to the client whose family must often function within the parameter of the project. Remodeling while living in the structure can be stressful and distracting. Although it is not ideal, it is often necessary. By working closely with clients on planning and scheduling, he minimizes disruption to the family.
No job is too small when it comes to experienced oversight and quality construction. Any project can be deceptively challenging and there’s only one time to get it right...the first time. Save money...save time...save stress... by treating your home improvement projects with the same respect you treat a major home remodel. Careful planning and attention to detail can prevent you from paying twice for the same project.
