Congratulations! You’ve made the exciting decision to expand your living space with a home addition. Whether you crave a dedicated home gym for peak fitness or a luxurious master suite for ultimate relaxation, a well-planned addition can significantly enhance your home’s functionality and value. But with renovation projects like this, the process can seem complex, filled with hundreds of thousands of decisions and potential for unexpected home remodeling problems.
At Remodel Edge, we understand the importance of clear communication and a streamlined experience throughout your entire renovation process. Here, we’ll guide you through what to expect during your home addition with Remodel Edge, from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, ensuring a successful home remodel.
Step 1: Planning and Design – Creating Your Dream Space
-
Initial Consultation: We’ll meet with you to discuss your vision, needs, and budget for the addition. Our design team will carefully assess your existing home’s layout (floor plan), architectural style, and available space. This consideration of space is crucial to ensure your addition seamlessly integrates with your existing home and maximizes usable space.
-
Collaborative Design Process: Based on your preferences, we’ll develop a conceptual design that reflects your unique style. We’ll guide you through material selections, from timeless natural light elements like wood tones and stone to high-quality fixtures and finishes. This collaborative approach ensures you’re happy with the design before moving forward.
-
Permitting and Approvals: Remodel Edge will handle all the necessary permit applications and approvals with local authorities, ensuring your project complies with building codes and regulations. This eliminates the stress of navigating the permitting process yourself.
Step 2: Pre-Construction and Demolition – Setting the Stage for Success
-
Detailed Construction Plans: Our team will develop detailed construction plans that outline the project timeline, material specifications, and a rough estimate for your entire cost. This transparency ensures you’re informed and involved every step of the way, avoiding any costly mistakes due to miscommunication.
-
Site Preparation and Demolition (if necessary): Once permits are secured, we’ll carefully prepare the construction site, including demolition of any existing structures that need to be removed to make way for the addition.
Step 3: Construction Phase – Bringing Your Vision to Life
-
Foundation and Framing: Our experienced crew will build a solid foundation for your addition, ensuring structural integrity and longevity. We’ll then begin framing the walls, roof, and other structural elements.
-
Rough-Ins and Inspections: Skilled technicians will install plumbing, electrical wiring, and HVAC systems. The project will undergo multiple inspections by qualified professionals to ensure adherence to building codes.
-
Exterior and Interior Finishing: This stage involves installing windows, doors, siding, and roofing materials that complement your existing home’s architecture and your chosen design style. Interior finishes like drywall, flooring, and paint will bring your vision to life, transforming your addition into a beautiful space.
Step 4: Final Touches and Completion – Your Home Addition Awaits
-
Final Inspections and Approvals: Once construction is complete, Remodel Edge will coordinate final inspections with local authorities to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). This ensures your addition meets all safety and building code requirements.
-
Project Walkthrough and Handover: We’ll conduct a comprehensive walkthrough with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the finished product. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions and address any minor details before final handover.
