Top 5 Seattle Home Remodel Projects
Kitchen remodel.
Many people consider the kitchen to be the heart of the home, and because of this, updates in this room pay off. A kitchen remodel is one of the most popular home remodeling projects and one that easily increases the wow-appeal and overall value of your home. Choosing a timeless style, such as traditional or contemporary, and quality materials for your remodel will help ensure your investment will last for years to come. Cabinets and appliances should be both functional and appealing.
An experienced, qualified home remodeler can guide you in designing your space. For example, if you have a small, galley kitchen, you will want to take advantage of your vertical space for your cabinets and shelving and use light to help make the space seem bigger and more open. Whereas, if you have a large kitchen, you may want to consider adding a kitchen island which can increase your functional counter space, but it also serves as a wonderfully inviting place to entertain guests.
Bathroom remodel.
A custom bathroom remodel is another very popular remodeling project. There’s no better way to make your home feel like a spa-retreat than to remodel your bathroom in calm, relaxing tones, complete with a luxurious deep jetted bath and steam shower. Quality surfaces and fixtures, lighting, and custom finishes such as a shower niche and dual sinks not only improve your home’s value, but increases your day-to-day enjoyment of your space.
Master bedroom remodel.
In this modern world of hustle and bustle, having a relaxing, master bedroom retreat can soothe the soul. No wonder a Seattle master bedroom remodel is at the top of everyone’s list of remodeling projects! Just imagine coming home from a hectic day at work, or coming to the end of a day where the kids were driving you crazy, to a bedroom that is all yours - a space that is cozy and inviting.
Converting an attic into a bedroom.
Converting an unused space such as an attic into an additional bedroom is a great investment. If you are looking to increase the livable space in your home, reclaiming the attic is generally more cost efficient than building outside your home’s footprint and you can often avoid zoning concerns. Before starting work, have your home builder assess issues such as attic access, which will require standard stairs, building codes, support structures and electrical and heating and cooling systems.
Energy-efficient home improvements.
Updating your home’s energy systems, such as heating and cooling systems, appliances, windows and insulation, are great home improvements that will increase your home’s value, but also help you save money all year long. Look for Energy Star rated windows and appliances which can make your home more efficient, is better for the environment, and may even have tax-advantages.
