Common questions

What is the 30% rule for renovations?

The '30% rule' is a general guideline suggesting that if renovation costs approach 30% of your home's current market value, it's worth considering the return on investment. For a property in the Lexington-Fayette area, a well-executed renovation can significantly boost value, but it’s always wise to assess the specific market and your goals.

What is the difference between remodeling and renovating a house?

Renovating generally means restoring an older home to a better condition, focusing on repairs and updates. Remodeling involves changing the structure or layout of a space, like reconfiguring a kitchen or adding a new room. Both aim to enhance your living experience in your Kentucky home.

What not to tell your contractor?

Avoid giving a vague, inflexible budget or stating absolute demands about timelines without room for discussion. Also, refrain from presenting specific design choices as non-negotiable without considering practicality. It's best to avoid comparing them unfavorably to past contractors or expressing definitive expectations that limit collaboration. Open dialogue is crucial.
