The value of your home can significantly increase with the right upgrades, especially when tailored to your home’s type and potential buyers. Key renovations that boost aesthetic, functional, and financial value include adding square footage, adopting an open layout, enhancing curb appeal, and full kitchen remodels with high-quality materials. Other valuable upgrades are modern kitchen updates, energy-efficient appliances, stylish bathroom renovations, efficiency improvements, low-maintenance exterior work like new roofing or siding, and installing or refinishing hardwood floors. Projects improving natural and artificial lighting also offer substantial returns. Ready for your next home remodel? Contact our design-build team to start planning!

Your home remodel budget hinges on the project’s type and scale, material costs, and other variables. Every project is distinct, shaped by the existing structure, project size, and the specific desires and requirements of each client. A wise approach to budgeting for home renovations is to list desired projects and estimate costs with a professional design-build contractor. In your consultation, receive bids for each project and prioritize them. This allows you to craft a detailed budget beginning with your top-priority project. Our contractors are ready to clarify any cost-related queries during your consultation, ensuring you’re informed every step of the way.
The duration of a home remodel is influenced by the scope of the improvements. Minor remodels might take just a few days to a week, whereas larger, more intricate projects could span weeks to months. Like estimating costs, NorthStar Builds offers clients an approximate schedule and timeline for completion. This ensures clients are well-informed of the expected duration, helping them prepare for the inconvenience of having contractors on site.
Every project we undertake comes with the dedicated services of a project manager, who serves as the main point of contact for our homeowner clients, ensuring they remain engaged with the project’s progress. This project manager is readily available to address any questions clients might have throughout the process. Coupled with our internal software, which keeps all contractors and personnel updated on each project, we ensure smooth progress and keep homeowners well-informed every step of the way.
Based on the extent of a client’s home renovation, their project manager will guide them on how to prepare their home for the work to start. This includes advising on which furniture and personal belongings should be moved out of specific areas and any other necessary preparations. Homeowners will need to plan for the temporary loss of use of spaces being remodeled, such as kitchens or bathrooms, during the renovation. It’s also important for homeowners to safeguard valuable or delicate items by securing them away from the construction zone to protect personal property effectively.
