Expanding Square Footage: Build Up or Build Out?
_
If you are trying to expand the square footage of your house, you'll have two main options: building up, or building out. Each of which has its own strenghts and weaknesses, so keep these facts in mind:
_
BUILDING UP
Building up is usually done on homes with only 1-2 stories. It can be a great way to expand storage space and declutter your house, but the process can be a bit intensive. It requires the roof to be removed, meaning you won't be able to heat/cool your house, and water may not be available. If you are building up, plan on renting a hotel or living with family/friends during the most intensive parts of construction!
_
BUILDING OUT
Building out is another way to add square footage, and is usually done with the intent of adding more "social space" in the house (i.e. a sun room). But remember - that room has to come from somewhere. If you're adding to the exterior of your home, you're taking away from your yard!
_
If you have questions about which is the better approach to expanding your home's square footage, reach out to us! We'd be happy to answer your questions.

Signs You're Ready for a Home Remodel
_
Knowing the right time to pull the trigger on getting a home remodel can be really difficult. If you're struggling with when you should start a home remodel, there are a couple things you'll be to be sure of:
_
1 | SET A BUDGET
A good rule of thumb for knowing when you're ready for a home remodel is looking at your budget. Have you thought of it already? Do you have a number in mind? More than that, have you reached out to any company's to scope out pricing? Before you're ready for a home remodel, make sure you add the numbers up to see roughly how much it's going to cost you.
_
2 | KNOW WHO YOU'RE HIRING
Have you spent time thinking about who you want to remodel your home? In other words, have you considered the implications it will have on the project if you do it yourself vs. balancing the remodel between you and a professional? What about handing it off entirely to a professional remodeling company? Many people realize they don't have the capacity and time to take on a remodel themselves.
_
Finally realizing you want the project done right by a professional remodeling company is a huge indication you may be ready to make the move and get it done.
_
3 | REMODELING TIMELINE + HOME LIFE PLAN
Depending on the type of remodel you get, you’re home life can be drastically affected during construction. A professional remodeler should work with you to reduce the impacts through proper dust control, communication, and planning. However, that doesn’t change the fact that a home remodel always affects your lifestyle in some way, shape, or form.

We get why people have concerns about their living situation during a remodel. But while it’s different, it doesn’t need to be difficult. Here are a few of our tips regarding living during major home remodels:
_
SAFETY FIRST
No, a remodeling project isn’t necessarily “dangerous”. They keep to their area, you keep to yours, and that’s that… for the most part. While home remodeling projects may not put you a place of imminent danger, there are a few things you want to be cautious and careful about to make sure you and your spouse or family are safe throughout the renovation.
Find a remodeling company with good dust control practices like Stonehearth. You don’t want dust from tiles and wood sawing making it’s way through your HVAC. So shut off your HVAC fans during construction hours and bring in a couple air purifiers for your bedroom if you so wish!
Also, make sure you “zone off” construction areas for your kids and keep pets out of the area during construction hours!
_
ASK ABOUT PARTNER PLANS
Stonehearth has a very specific Partner Plan, which is essential for ease of living during a home remodel. A Partner Plan will detail out the specifics regarding what contractors – heating, plumbing, electricians, etc. – will be working on which pieces of the house and when. This is not only important for the remodeling company for sake of organization, but is incredibly important for homeowners to understand, as it will serve as a guide for what to expect and different stages of the remodeling timeline.
_
ALWAYS WEAR SHOES
That one should be a given. Wear your shoes around the house – you never know what gets dropped where. Have mats outside of your bedroom where it’s safe to place your shoes; you don’t need wood splinter or ceramic tile fragments sticking to the bottom of your shoes and making their way into your bedroom.

Yes… That's the same house.
_
Whole house remodels are such a thrilling experience. Turning the home you see into the home you dream of is a rewarding process, and if you talk to the right remodeling company, they can make that a reality!

Beautiful Modern Farmhouse Kitchen
_
This gorgeous modern farmhouse kitchen was a project we did back in 2014, but we still come back to it all the time. This type of design is a testament to the fact that good design knows no space limitations - regardless of how small or large your kitchen is, when working with the right remodeler, you can transporm it to the kitchen of your dreams.

Unfinished Rooms = Limitless Opportunities.
_
It always amazes us how much you can do with an empty, unfinished room. These Woodbury homeowners took their unfinished basement and converted it into the basement lounge area of their DREAMS.

Have you talked with a remodeling company about what you can do with the empty space in your house?
