Stuck at Home (Literally)? Remodeling Might Be the Answer—Or Not

You’re not alone. Many homeowners are feeling stuck these days. Maybe you refinanced during the golden era of low interest rates, and your mortgage payment now feels like a sweet, sweet bargain you’d hate to lose. Or maybe your family has outgrown the house, and the thought of squeezing one more holiday gathering into your cramped living room makes you want to scream.

So, what’s the plan? Remodel, upgrade, or move? Before you make any decisions (or start knocking down walls), let’s talk through it.

When Remodeling Seems Like the Answer

Adding a new bedroom? Finally building that home office or ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit)? These can be great solutions—if they make sense for your long-term plans and your property’s value. But here’s the catch:

• Zoning Changes: Dreaming of that ADU? Check your local zoning laws first. Trust me, nothing’s worse than sinking time and money into a project that your town won’t approve.
• Cost vs. Value: Some upgrades make sense while you’re living there but might not pay off when you decide to sell. I can help you figure out which projects are worth it.

Why You Need a Subject-Matter Expert (That’s Me!)

Not all renovations are created equal, and not all advice is either. Sure, your cousin’s friend may swear by his DIY skills, but do you really want to trust him with your equity? Here’s where I can help:

• Strategic Guidance: I’ll help you prioritize projects that boost your home’s value without breaking the bank.
• Trusted Referrals: Need an attorney, handyman, or zoning expert? I’ve got connections.
• Big-Picture Insights: Before you spend a dime, let’s talk about whether the investment will make sense in the long run—both for your enjoyment and for resale.
