Renovation Creations
Renovations begin the minute we enter a space. Our imaginations immediately start transforming dated elements, poorly functioning rooms and missed opportunities. The real project however kicks off with a clear understanding of the customer's goals including the budget and time frame. With many years of renovation experience we understand what can realistically be accomplished allowing for a healthy conversation about a plan and what to expect.
The old adage, ‘location, location, location’ for finding the best real estate also applies to a successful renovation project. Renovations are about understanding the potential in dream neighborhoods or business areas that are ripe for recreating value and the ideal living or working environment. Once discovered, we make the dream come true. It does, however, take vision and experience for the best outcome. Working with design professionals saves time, and minimizes anxiety (everyone has it with major changes) and can eliminate costly mistakes. Our guidance leads customers to smart and long lasting design choices for the greatest aesthetic and functional advantages. We keep the ‘return on investment’ in mind throughout every stage of the project.
Getting the team right is one of the most important parts of the equation. Going through a renovation is a logistical challenge whether you are occupying the building or remote. A trusted team is paramount. There are a vast variety of selections to be made and unexpected conditions can occur along the way. Having expert care is critical to the process and experience and helps keep the project on schedule. We have enjoyed great relationships with highly skilled contractors and trades that handle small to large renovations and new build jobs. The trusted relationships make all the difference for peace of mind and especially when working with out-of-town customers, which is often. As the two business owners, we are hands-on and readily available to all parties during renovations. Putting the right team together matters beyond measure as each project and customer’s needs are truly unique. We also value the shared passion and expertise of the many talented trades people we work with.
We have updated homes and commercial spaces on every level, from one section of a home to entire office spaces and restaurants…from Downtown Wilmington, to Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, Landfall, Figure Eight Island to Oak Island and beyond.
