Remodeling Your Bonita Springs Home

Is the style of your home a little out of fashion?  Not the right time to sell?  Why not remodel your Bonita Springs home. 

With inventory at higher levels than in the past it may be more of an effort to sell your home to get the room you need.  Why not add on or go up, as in a second story.  Many homes in Bonita Springs are in neighborhoods, like Pelican Landing, which have large yards, mature grandfather oaks and the neighborhoods are established and flourishing.  Owners of homes in Pelican Landing, Bonita Bay, Wildcat Run and many other fine communities are updating their homes instead of moving.  The generous lot sizes can’t be duplicated and many times a simple bathroom renovation is far easier than a move.

If you are a Bonita Springs home owner and you are considering remodeling your home instead of moving here are a few tips offered by Spolar Enterprises, Inc., a Certified General Contractor and home remodeling company in Bonita Springs, Florida.

Should you take the lowest bid on a remodel estimate? 

The lowest bid may just not be the best option when choosing a Bonita Springs remodeling contractor.  You’ve likely taken three or more estimates for the scope of your remodel work.  First, qualify the estimate.  Make sure you’re comparing apples to apples.  There should be itemized lists with the scope of the work, the products being used in the remodel or installation of materials and amounts/quantities of materials, also.  By doing this you can discover if the quality you’re looking for is going to be used, whether the contractor forgot or left out items and whether you may want to upgrade or downgrade the entire project. 

Your Bonita Springs contractor should be able to provide material samples or spec’s for any of the products that will be used, right down to drywall screws.  Don’t be afraid to ask for them if they aren’t offered, either.  This is your Bonita Springs home and your remodel project.  Make sure it’s done right.
