Before you begin gutting and demolition, it’s important to communicate with Sierra Remodeling experts and carefully research and plan your remodeling project. It’s a big, big undertaking and, we assure you, your proper planning and partnering with us will save you time, money and frustration.
Where to begin
Every remodeling project is unique however, the planning process has been relatively defined and, we have included a video above to get you started. Basically, you begin with early planning, more planning and lots and lots of communications with our experts!
We recommend you check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and review the contractor’s record and any complaints. Also make sure the remodeling firm is licensed with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC). Sierra Remodeling’s ROC Licenses are #080355 and #066290. We encourage you to request referrals from us and read our clients’ comments too.
Evaluate your existing home
Assess the condition of your home including its structural, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling (mechanical) systems. If you need assistance Sierra Remodeling will conduct a thorough inspection of your home. We make sure attics, roofs, utility rooms, unfinished rooms over garages and all of those out-of-the-way places in your home are carefully checked. Also, we carefully inspect your foundation, siding, stucco and drainage.
Remember, the dollars you pay for a thorough home inspection will help identify those hidden issues that could cost you thousands of dollars after your home is remodeled! Sierra Remodeling ensures the home inspection is carefully and meticulously conducted. If there are any doubts raised during the evaluation, we will keep investigating until you are sure of the assessment.
Draft a reasonable wish list
Based on your thorough evaluation of your home, prioritize the repairs and renovations that must be completed (rotting, leaking, cracking, safety and home environment issues) versus the items that are purely cosmetic i.e., renovations that you would like to be done.
An honest evaluation will ensure critical home problems are identified up-front and fixed during the remodeling project.
Sierra Remodeling’s professionals will assist you in finalizing your wish list ensuring your must-haves are in line with your home evaluation and budget. We will also be mindful that the final outcome will be your wishes not our designer’s vision. We listen!
At Sierra Remodeling, our vast experience allows us to quote more precise estimates and actual costs, not ballpark figures. You can be confident that our cited contract costs will be very close to the actual billed amounts and the total cost to you at the end of the project. Realize if you make changes during the course of the remodel or home build, there will be additional charges and more time will be needed to complete your project. Again, your solid up-front planning and sound communications with our staff will help you ensure changes will be not be necessary.
Secure and pin down finances
Sometimes nailing down financing can be very challenging and more difficult than the evaluation process. The choices for financing a remodel or a new custom home have increased dramatically and, weighing all the factors can be intimidating.
Our customers generally have to weigh between getting a Home Equity loan versus a Reverse Mortgage loan versus taking out considerable savings or investments. To help you with financing your remodel, Sierra Remodeling has partnered with Wells Fargo and, we currently offer Home Improvement loans with rates as low as 7% for 60 months.
Finally, we recommend budgeting ten to twenty percent additional funds for those unexpected issues that are discovered during the remodel and, must be repaired. This frequently occurs when problems are not identified during your home’s evaluation and generally, the older the home the more prone it is to cost overruns.
Hire a team of experts
Please understand. When you choose a large, successful, experienced and comprehensive home remodeling and home building company like Sierra Remodeling, you are making a wise decision. You dramatically improve your outcomes and lessen your risk. You also save time and money while increasing the value of your most important investment – your home.
