Is 2021 the right time to renovate my home?

You might also be wondering if 2021 is the right time to renovate your home… especially with all that’s going on in the world. While our opinion is bias, we feel there is almost no better opportunity. With all the time spent at home, you need your home to be an oasis – a space that works for your family. On top of that, materials, technology, and techniques have advanced rapidly. It’s time to take advantage of what’s available to better your quality of life. And finally, if you don’t necessarily have any savings available, but you own equity in your home – talk to your bank about refinancing options. Not only could this free up some cash to complete the renovation of your dreams, but interest rates are also at an all-time low. This makes it the perfect opportunity to recommit to your mortgage at a lower rate. Of course, we suggest you work with a qualified mortgage broker to make this happen… but call us when you’re ready to renovate your home!

“Green” appliances, energy-efficient windows, and materials like reclaimed wood are sure to surge in popularity in 2021.

Forget tiled backsplashes! Slab backsplashes are modern, simple, and add elegance to any kitchen.

A basement is a great place for a home theater or media center, and this can vary from a basic home theater to a full project room with movie-style seating.

Guest suites with bathrooms and kitchenettes are becoming more popular than traditional guest rooms due to their added versatility and convenience.

Wet & dry bars

A wet or dry bar is a great place to entertain guests and relax, and makes your home unique, and a wet or dry bar can be put into almost any basement.
