Common questions

What is the 30% rule for renovations?

The '30% rule' is a general guideline suggesting that if your renovation or addition costs more than 30% of your home's value, you might not see a full return on investment when selling. It's a financial consideration to keep in mind as you plan your Arkansas home expansion.

What is the difference between remodeling and renovating a house?

Remodeling generally involves changing the layout or function of a space, like adding a new room or creating an open-concept kitchen. Renovating usually means restoring or updating existing elements to improve their condition or appearance. Both can significantly enhance your Arkansas residence.

What not to tell your contractor?

Avoid making unrealistic demands about project timelines without understanding the complexities of construction. Also, don't present a fixed budget and then insist on high-end, custom materials that clearly exceed it. Honest and informed communication from the outset is vital.

Do home additions require permits in Little Rock?
