Addition & Remodel Cost Guides

I've been a remodeling contractor in California for over 30 years. Projects that run smoothly are when folks know what they want by doing their homework first. Knowledge is power. Ask questions on everything you don't know or understand. What is also good is to have pictures & ideas in a file prior to ever starting a project. remodeling an older home may have hidden costs, or homes with wood floors. I Think older homes were often better built than what's  going on today. There is way too much gingerbread & fake materials out there just to look competitive. Plus owners should know the pros & cons of the finish materials they want. All I am saying again is do your home work. Be informed. Not all marble is equal. Same with tile and fixtures  an flooring. Houses expand and contract. Cabinets made in a cabinet shop are often better built & stronger than you find in a chain stores. My dad was a cabinet maker from the old school of craftsmanship. I've seen many of his cabinets survive over 3  generations in the same home. Folks want quality at the best price. Several times I have done remodels where my father had built bookcases and desks for homes. When they found out I was the son. They wanted me to see their grown boys rooms and see those cabinets.  I would call your local building department & see if permits are required. Honesty is the best way to save from problems you don't need.  Good Luck to all of you.

Ok. My kitchen is small, & to enlarge it about 7' 6" larger. I like the current yard, cuz i wish 2 use my lawn. Converts to new kitchen space. A roof will extend to match present style. The pitch on front/garage isn't 2 stay. Remove arch & shorten angle off garage roof.

Looking to add approximately 200 sq ft on the second level above my ground floor family room. The family room was converted from a garage several years ago prior to purchasing the home.

My contractor installed 6mil PTO Membrane roof in the new house, but he did not use any insulation in between the roof decking and membrane. There is water pooling already and lots of air bubbles forming when it gets hot outside. He used mechanical placement instead of adhesive. I am very concern with this roof. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Too expensive

I know exactly what I want to end up with. What I need is a draftsperson who can translate my ideas into drawings that will permit me to get contractors to make accurate bids on the project(s). I will need an ADA bathroom, an enlarged and larger kitchen, an enlarged laundry/utility room, a garage, and a new screened porch. I need to make the house I bought 6 months ago more functional and to my taste.
