7 Reasons to Plan Your Remodel Today

Spring historically represents a period of rebirth and renewal. It marks the end of the winter season and the beginning of longer, warmer days. It typically also marks a period when homeowners perform a thorough deep cleaning and take stock of any projects, they want to complete in their homes over the next several months. Some projects might be minor, like painting a room or cleaning out the garage. Other projects, however, might be more extensive – like a kitchen, bathroom, a whole house remodel, a room addition, or even an outdoor living space or backyard oasis. If you’re in the latter boat and are eyeing a more extensive remodeling project, Conrads Custom Homes is proud to serve as your partner in the Greater Denver area and up/down the Front Range. And despite the challenges we are all facing right now amid the COVID-19 pandemic, you will be surprised to learn that there’s no time like the present to act on any type of a home remodel or room addition. Here is a look at seven reasons why:

1. You Likely Know Exactly What You Want

Let us face it, as you have sheltered in place during this crisis, chances are you have spent a fair amount of time sizing up your home and thinking of how you can improve it. In some cases, that improvement might be the bathroom or kitchen of your dreams. In other cases, it might be an extension off your family room that you can turn into a comfortable home office or exercise space. Or maybe a spa-like bathroom where you can take the time to escape from the stresses of the day. Whatever it is that you want for your home, now is the time to talk to a trusted remodeling contractor about its inefficiencies.

2. Low-Interest Rates

Chances are you will need some sort of financing to pull off any major home renovation or addition – and there is no time like the present to act. Interest rates are at near-historic lows, making it a great time to apply for a loan. Simply put, by securing financing for any home renovation project now, you will see your money going much further, and later with plenty of options to choose from.

3. It Lends Itself Well to Video Conferencing

One of the nice things about kick-starting any home remodeling project with Intelligent Design Build is that we can handle so much of the early phases of the process via video conferencing. While we always prefer to meet our clients and see what we are working with in person, in times like these, erring on the side of caution is important. And being that there is so much that we can do via a virtual consultation, we can streamline the process and work efficiently without having to meet face-to-face. Here is what you can expect during a virtual consultation with us:

• A thorough explanation of our services and capabilities.

• We will ask you to take us on a virtual tour of your space.

• We will provide a ballpark estimate and timeline for any work you are seeking.

Another nice thing about a virtual consultation is that anyone in your household can join it to learn about our process. We are always happy to answer questions and want everyone who will benefit from any remodel or addition to be completely comfortable with the work we will be performing.

From the initial consultation and virtual walk-through to writing and finalizing design agreements, documents, architectural drawings, selections, and permits, there is little you cannot accomplish online that you otherwise could not do in person. Utilizing a company, like Conrads Custom Homes that has had experience with this technology is key.

4. Prepare Now to Beat the Rush

Once local economies are again fully operational, there is bound to be a significant “catch up” period that we will all have to account for. We will likely see an uptick in work, municipalities will see an uptick in permit applications, and banks are likely to see more loan applications coming their way. All of these factors are going to delay how soon we will be able to start any remodel or addition once things open back up. It is why now is the time to act to beat the rush that is likely to come – and we are here to help. We are still actively working on design plans now.

5. Lesser Demand Means Faster Completed Work

To piggyback off the above point, there is less demand for remodeling and additions right now – and you can make this work to your advantage beyond just beating the rush. By acting now, you can also expect to see your project finished faster as well. With fewer overall jobs in the queue, we are performing work more quickly, meaning you will be able to enjoy your remodel or addition sooner than you would in the normal springtime activity. All remodels or additions come with some disruption and inconvenience. Reducing such can positively impact your project.

6. You are Supporting Local Business in a Time When it is Most Needed

It is no secret that times are tough right now – both for many Americans and for the businesses that help drive local economies. As a local business, when you work with Conrads Custom Homes, you will not just be helping us, but you will be helping support jobs for all of the professionals that will be working on your project. You have likely heard of the importance of supporting and buying local, and the benefits of such could not be truer in a situation such as this.

7. We Will not Jeopardize Your Safety or Well-Being

As you go through the process and as it becomes time for us to start physical work on your remodel or addition, we can assure you that we won’t jeopardize your safety or well-being while we’re on your property. Construction, by and large, is already a very safe profession – a big part of the reason why it has been deemed “essential work” by nearly every state that has issued shelter-in-place guidelines throughout the pandemic. And at Intelligent Design Build, we are following state and CDC guidelines to ensure that it remains safe in this era of COVID-19. This includes ensuring workers are outfitted with the right PPE, social distancing on job sites, frequent hand washing (including adding portable hand washing stations to every site), rigorous disinfection of commonly touched surfaces or tools, and more. We always take safety seriously, and we are happy to explain in detail the extra steps we are taking during these times to keep our workers, projects, and your household safe.
