With everyone becoming familiar with the realities of virtual reality, many builders are adapting their processes to accommodate the new “normal”—with a few new considerations. Here’s how HDR Remodeling is adapting by donning digital toolbelts to continue facilitating the essential planning that ensures a successful home remodeling project.
HDR Remodeling couldn’t be more thrilled to win the Regional Contractor of the Year award from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) in three categories: Residential Interior, Residential Kitchen, and Residential Bath.
A kitchen remodel is a beautiful thing, especially if you’ve been cooking in a cramped, outdated, or just plain awful galley for longer than you care to recall. HDR Remodeling’s Design + Build team relishes the opportunity of taking an unlovable space and transforming it into the heartbeat of your East Bay home.
It’s a lovely vision, to be sure, so now, let’s talk about kitchen renovation costs in the coastal East Bay.
If a gleaming, spa-inspired bathroom is part of your future, we’d love to help in achieving your vision. According to a 2019 report by Remodeling Magazine, the cost for a bathroom remodel in the San Francisco and coastal East Bay Area ranged between $30–85K on average, depending on the range and scale of your bathroom renovation. Now, here’s how that budget pie gets divvied up.
Answer: You Get What You Pay For
Remodeling projects are complex and time consuming—with a myriad of pitfalls. We’ve seen just about all of them—it’s one of the many reasons HDR Remodeling consistently ranks as one of the East Bay’s best full-service Design and Build firms, with a stellar reputation.
For their last bi-monthly Lunch & Learn, HDR Remodeling invited the community to visit a current home remodeling job site, a first for the company. Kevin Mond, Head of Business Development at HDR Remodeling hosted the lunch & learn. The on-site project was a new construction for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), commonly known as an in-law unit, backyard cottage, or guest house.
When building up or out is out of the question, go down under with a basement addition.
If you love your home, but it’s become a tight fit, a basement addition is an increasingly popular option for Coastal East Bay homeowners constrained by lot space, and/or permitting issues. Moreover, a basement addition provides a way to double your home’s livable square footage - never a bad thing when you’re ready to sell – and ranks near the top of home remodeling projects for yielding the best return on investment.
Many homeowners daydream about a kitchen remodel but waver on taking the first steps, perhaps because they are unsure of where to start or if the project will fit into their budget. Take the time to prepare with the right information and to determine what the scope of your project really is. You may realize that a kitchen remodel is well within your budget if you know what you want.
When you are working with a budget, a full home remodel may feel out of reach. However, by shopping smart, knowing where to go to get a complete start to finish service, and getting deals for your remodeling project, you can achieve a new look for your home renovation without unnecessary overspending.
You've probably seen these diminutive houses popping up in backyards everywhere around the Bay Area. They look like charming little cottages that belong on an Irish hillock somewhere, and they can comfortably house your in-laws, adult children moving back home or act as a source of affordable long term rental income.
HDR Remodeling, a full service residential Design + Build Remodeling Firm, hosted a Lunch & Learn Thursday, September 7th on Planning for Your Next Remodel. In addition to helping homeowners in Berkeley and the East Bay Area achieve their remodeling dreams for the past 30+ years, HDR Remodeling provides educational resources and learning opportunities for the community at large.
