By Tilghman Builders Team - March 21, 2018

Are you dreaming of change? Maybe your home isn't perfectly fitting your needs anymore, or maybe it never was and you're finally ready to make a change. How do you know when you are ready to update your home to make it last? 

These are the questions we always ask homeowners wondering the same thing. We want to share them with you so you can be sure about your decision for the future of your home. Hopefully, this can help you rest easy in your decision. If you ever have any questions about what is possible, the cost of creating your dream home, and when to look elsewhere, give us a call.

 

Quiz: Are you ready for a home remodel? 

Are you ready for a home remodel? | Tilghman Builders Bucks County Contractors 

Are you attached to your neighborhood?

  • Do you live, work and play in your neighborhood? 
  • Do your kids go to school nearby?
  • Do you love being close to family and friends?
  • Do you enjoy your neighbors, or do you hate them?
  • Do you have a great yard?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

If you answered yes, you've made up your mind to stay in your home and update it to fit your needs. You are in the right place for you and your family and you don't need to change that, you just need to fix the space you're in. Maybe you just need to upgrade the finishes and remodel your bathrooms to make your home look and feel homier. Maybe you need to totally remodel your upstairs to reallocate bedroom space. Maybe you need to add on to your home and backyard for more livable space. Learn about the difference between remodel and renovation projects here.

 

What are your family's 5-year, 10-year and 20-year plans?

  • Is your family growing? 
  • Are you inviting aging family members and loved ones to come live with you as an alternative to assisted living?
  • Do you want to become the house where friends and family come to hang out?
  • Are your loved ones living farther away? Do you need places for them to stay when they come into town?
  • Do you need to hire in-home assistance to help take care of your family?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

If you need more space for your family and loved ones in your home, a home addition or remodel can help add and reallocate space in your home. To help our clients accommodate their current and future needs, we've built full second-story additions to add more bedrooms upstairs, patios and decks for more outdoor living space, and small additions on the back of homes to allow us to revamp the first-floor floorplan. Whatever your need for your family's future, we can help you discover the solution. Check out how we've made our clients' houses their dream homes in our home improvement before and after portfolio. 

 

What features do you want from your remodel?

  • Do you need more space in your kitchen?
  • Do you want more living space in your backyard?
  • Do you need room for grandma and grandpa to stay for extended periods of time?
  • Do you want to update the look of your master suite? 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

All of these things are possible to extend the functionality of your home - not to mention your happiness. Updating the aesthetics of your kitchen and bathroom can go a long way to brightening up your home and making it feel fresh. Need inspiration?
