Start A Project
Whether you live in a modest starter home or a massive, sprawling estate, planning a complete home remodel in the San Francisco Bay Area can be daunting. Between creating a budget you can live with to finding the right house remodeling contractor to finish the project, if this is your first experience, a complete home remodel can seem like a very intimidating experience.
At Clever Design and Remodeling, we understand that your home is your most significant investment and most treasured possession. Here is some invaluable information to help you start the entire process of remodeling your Bay Area property.
Did you know that it takes the average homeowner 4 to 8 months to complete their home renovation project? A Bay Area home remodeling project is a massive undertaking that requires the assistance of several exceptional professionals, from designers and project managers to general contractors.
The first step in any home remodel project is to find these fantastic professionals. If you currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where there are plenty of home remodeling companies to choose from, you cannot go wrong with hiring the team at Clever Design and Remodeling!
The average cost to completely renovate your home is anywhere between $140,000 to $400,000. Of course, several factors influence this cost.
If you are planning a house renovation project after a natural disaster, such as a fire or flood, you will often pay more simply because you need to replace the home’s foundational structure.
The size of the home and the materials used will also influence the cost. Homeowners who hire general contractors to build in the spring or summer months, when demand is much higher, will also pay more. You also need to factor in the cost of permit fees and specialty construction services.
If your home is not currently up to code, you will also require seismic retrofitting, ensuring that your property complies with state and local laws.
The factors influencing the cost of a house remodel in the San Francisco Bay Area can be confusing. Chances are, there are several factors you might not be aware of. This is why it is so critical that when you sit down to formulate a budget, you have a professional who understands the costs associated with a complete home remodel in the San Francisco area.
Once again, several factors will influence the amount of time it takes to complete the major projects included in your home renovation. Your project manager will provide you with a basic timeline to complete the job from start to finish.
On average, it will take your amazing team of project managers and contractors around 3 to 6 months to completely renovate your current home.
You will spend several weeks or even months working closely with your home remodeling contractor. This is a significant relationship, so it is essential to know what qualities to look for in a home remodeling professional.
First and foremost, always choose a home remodeling contractor with years of experience. In addition to gaining knowledge and expertise, an experienced remodeling contractor will also hone relationships with local craftsmen, manufacturers, and providers.
These relationships will prove invaluable and will help ensure the home remodeling contractor can complete the full home remodeling project on time and on budget.
The remodeling professional should always be fully licensed and insured. The proper credentials and liability insurance are legally necessary and a sign that the professional will provide you with quality services.
With all the home remodeling contractors available in the San Francisco area, finding the right professional for your needs and budget can be tricky. A quick internet search is the best way to narrow your options. Look for a home remodeling contractor with excellent references, a verifiable track record, and the glowing recommendations from several satisfied clients.
Now that you have found a fantastic team to complete your full home renovation project, it is time to start designing your dream property. Choosing an overall theme or aesthetic for the property is a great place to start.
For example, many homeowners in the San Francisco area are choosing sustainable materials and opting for a more straightforward, traditional aesthetic.
Walking into the home remodel project with a clear vision will help ensure that the general contractor and crew can remain on time and on budget.
During the construction phase, the existing structures are demolished and replaced. Depending on the scope of the remodeling project, this could include anything from minor cosmetic changes to completely ripping out the walls, rerouting the plumbing, and adding an entire bathroom or bedroom.
Once the construction phase is complete, our team of project managers will perform a final walkthrough of your new kitchen, bathrooms, and the other remodeled home areas. This is an crucial step because it allows our clients to give our team final approval or point out any changes that need to be made.
Rest assured that at Clever Design and Remodeling, the satisfaction of our clients and customers is our top priority. Your contractors and project manager will make any necessary alterations, changes, and upgrades to ensure the finished product is perfect!
During the renovation process, there will be times when you are asked to leave, due to the inherent dangers of construction. Don’t worry. Our crew will respect your property and ensure your belongings are safe.
Feel free to stay around and live your life when it is possible. Occasionally, when you are asked to leave during construction, rest assured that we will treat your home as though it were our own. You can stay at a hotel, stay with a friend, or enjoy a mini-family vacation while we provide our services and craft the home of your dreams.
The short answer to this important question is “Yes!” Renovating your home will add tremendous value to the property, primarily if you utilize excellent materials and work with the best home remodeling Bay Area contractors!
