It may surprise you to learn that staying in your home for extended years has become the new trend.
Upgrading with the purchase of a new home is no longer the most worthwhile option for obtaining a dream home.
Whether you are a millennial that struggled to obtain your first home, or an aging adult seeking ways to adapt to your future needs, your current home — whatever the current condition — has the potential to become your long-term sanctuary.
When the question arises, to sell or not-to-sell, consider upgrading or remodeling your current spaces with some expert help from Builder’s Depot.
Builder’s Depot’s owner, Mark Stephenson, applies his extensive construction background into the business of helping his customers achieve their remodel or refresh goals by staying on budget and on time. When your vision of a remodeled kitchen or an upgraded master bathroom requires help from professionals, the design team at Builder’s Depot is here to help.
At Builder’s Depot, products and services are a one-stop shop. Whether you’re a homeowner, a contractor, or an interior designer, Builder’s Depot offers the products and services to complete your home project from big to small, start to finish. “We have built relationships with neighboring suppliers for access to millions of items to make your design unique or fit any taste, budget or style,” Mark said
According to U.S. news reports, “Low housing inventory, buyers moving to the suburbs, and construction and renter affordability issues are likely to shape the course of 2021.” As we finally move toward access to COVID-19 vaccines and extended time in our homes, new trends are influencing how people live every day, as well as what they want and need from their homes, post COVID.
Have you decided an upgrade or remodel is feasible for you? Kitchen and master bathrooms are always key areas for renovations. These are two areas that can potentially make or break a future sale, while providing the most personal satisfaction for long-term ownership.
Homeowners are seeking new high-functioning, low maintenance workspaces in the kitchen — including porcelain slab countertops, and refrigerators and ovens with touch screens. Now, more than ever, kitchens are most desirable as a part of the overall living space; a place not only for eating, but doing homework, or engaging in an online cooking class.
Aging homeowners are looking to add height to cabinetry and toilets in the master baths, along with curb-less showers and non-slip flooring for function. Floating vanities with upgraded drainage and custom shower benches add to the spa-feel that many seek for a soothing space in the home.
Las Sendas resident Brian Cravens is running with the remodeling concept this year. Builder’s Depot is the source of logistics for getting the job done.
Brian and his wife Christi have chosen to make their current house their own by utilizing products and services to enhance their chosen art-deco and mid-century modern styles. In fact, Brian’s enthusiasm with his home project, and his extensive unique design background, landed him a position as a consulting designer with Builder’s Depot.
“Tell me your budget and let me get you the most bang for your buck,” said Brian. “While it’s important to think about resale value when remodeling, it’s also extremely important to make your home your own.”
Brian knows the importance of return on investment by updating the kitchen and master bath spaces, and excitedly helps customers obtain a flow through appearance by adding texture, color and function that will sustain for years to come. Yet, he also strives to emphasize the significance of personalizing your home.
When you’re potentially spending thousands of dollars on renovations, homeowners want to avoid trendy choices that could quickly lead to mistakes. The team at Builder’s Depot provides education on products and design options, making your home a classic, timeless investment at any budget.
Although his path to joining the team was an unlikely one, Brian’s story of bringing things together in life, just like the process of remodeling a home, is unique.
Decades ago, when kitchen appliance colors were avocado green and living room floors boasted wall-to-wall shag carpeting, Brian was busily chasing his dream of becoming a rock star. At the time it seemed a far-fetched vision, but persistence enabled him to own a studio and develop sound design and engineered music.
But grown-up reality led him down a completely different path. Brian transitioned into insurance consulting, helping large corporations design economical options — a different career with financial reward, but minus the ability to unleash his passion to design spaces. But recently he was granted the opportunity to pursue his vision of helping others engineer their homes into places that are functional and stylish long-term.
“It all happened, quite frankly, by mistake,” said the Builder’s Depot designer. I literally made a wrong turn into the showroom parking lot and decided to look inside.” Brian was astonished with the selections, affordability, and possibilities of transforming his own home.
His journey from hopeful rising rock star to home design coordinating has been unique indeed, just as your vision for creating your potential dream home can be with Builder’s Depot.
