Opting for high-end materials like custom cabinetry or premium stone countertops will push your budget higher than standard selections.

Frequently asked in Virginia Beach

What is the 30% rule in remodeling?

The '30% rule' isn't a hard-and-fast guideline, but some suggest it's about the potential return on investment for certain upgrades. For example, a major kitchen remodel might aim to recoup a significant portion of its cost. Pros can discuss how your planned upgrades in Virginia Beach align with common ROI expectations for our area.

What is the difference between renovating and remodeling?

Renovating typically means restoring something to good condition, like updating old fixtures. Remodeling usually involves changing the structure or layout of a space, such as knocking down a wall to create an open-concept living area. Understanding this distinction helps when planning your project in Virginia Beach.

Is it cheaper to buy a house or remodel?

That's a common question, especially with the diverse housing stock in Virginia Beach. It often depends on the market conditions and the extent of the remodel. Sometimes, remodeling an existing home you love can be more cost-effective than buying and then renovating a new place.

What is the 30% rule for renovations?

Similar to the remodeling rule, this often relates to the potential resale value added by renovations. A good renovation should ideally increase your home's value by at least the percentage of the cost invested, though this can vary. Pros can help you understand this for your Virginia Beach home.
