"What started as a deck rebuild turned into a three season room addition. Matt and his crew were easy to work with, offered some great suggestions to us, and the finished room is more than we hoped for! We loved his suggestion of putting pine on the vaulted ceiling, and the finish work at the bottom on the outside looks great. Matt took care to match our 20 year old siding, and finish the windows and doors to exactly match the others on the house."

Remodel Design questions, answered by experts

Selecting the right general contractor to tackle a job like raising a sunken living room can feel like an overwhelming prospect. Follow these tips to find, vet, and hire the best local contractor for your project:

  • Get recommendations from neighbors and friends who might be able to suggest contractors they’ve used.

  • Request written quotes to help set your budget and expectations.

  • Verify your contractor’s credentials to ensure a professional and legal finished product.

  • Read the contractor’s proposed contract to make sure you agree to all terms, including the project timeline, cost, and materials. 

  • Keep copies of all relevant documentation.

The least expensive way to convert a garage to a living space is to perform as much of the work yourself as possible, using materials you can acquire at discount prices, and avoiding making structural changes to the building. While you can’t control what type of garage already exists on your property, converting a detached garage to living space will cost 20% to 30% more, so going with an attached garage conversion will save quite a bit.

Modern cottage style holds true to the traditional architectural components of a cottage—including a small footprint, simple floor plan, and a focus on connection to nature. However, it also embraces more modern styling ideas that add some elegance to the rustic appearance, similar to the French country home style. The style includes natural materials, like wood, stone, and linen, but it presents them in a more modern or even contemporary way. Some modern cottage homes even incorporate more ornate decor, which wouldn’t hold up in a traditional cottage that focuses on simplicity and functionality over flashiness.

Every termite treatment is different, and each label has specific instructions about how long you need to vacate the treatment area. If your home undergoes termite fumigation, you can expect to vacate your home for 24 to 72 hours. You can always consult the National Pesticide Information Center if you’re unsure how long to remain outside your home.

Yes, open floor plans can be more expensive to build than non-open floor plans. The primary reason is the need for additional structural support to ensure stability, which can increase construction costs. Additionally, open floor plans need powerful HVAC systems to maintain temperature in a wider space. Finally, open floor plans need more flooring to cover a large area. If you are buying a home with an open floor plan, you won’t see dramatic price differences compared to a home with more rooms.
