Remodeling FYI

The following articles, websites and case studies should prove helpful as you plan for your next remodeling project....

• This interactive PDF details your initial investment cost in remodeling versus the long term value and is specific to the unique Atlanta market - Remodeling Magazine's 2013 Cost Vs. Value Report For Atlanta

-This report is widely recognized in the industry as one of the top publications, customized per market, to give clients and remodeling professionals alike an inside peek into project values. If resale value is a deciding factor in your remodeling plans, this report is a must-read!

-Make note of the variances between "Midrange" and "Upscale" and it's easy to imagine your project falling somewhere in the middle!-

- How remodeling professionals use this report: Dr. James F. Molinelli, Architect for ARDO Contracting in Columbia, Maryland says,  "I use Cost vs. Value to show clients that the key projects they are considering will absolutely add value to their home and, in a potential sale, will make their home more attractive to a buyer than comparable houses.  It also shows them the portion of the investment they are making that gets amortized over the time they are in the home. When understood in this fashion, and from a dispassionate outside source, people are comforted about their investment/remodeling plans, the value they will receive upon sale in the future, and the real cost of the day-to-day improvement in their lifestyle at home."
