Fort Mill Custom Home Builder Helps People Build Happy Homes and Lives

Fort Mill custom home builder Adam Ferrara with Beck Design Group in Baxter Village SC.Owning and managing Beck Design Group is a gift every day.  We cross paths with so many people in the course of designing and building new homes, remodeling existing homes, working with architects and neighborhood associations, and interacting with many local government agencies and community organizations.  We consider it all a wonderful gift.

It’s hard for us to choose which part of our company we enjoy the most.  We really like the “blank canvas” of working with a homeowner and building a custom home from just a raw piece of land.  And we all really enjoy removing old or outdated building materials and fixtures and remodeling them with new ideas and innovative building materials.  I think the common denominator that connects everything we do is the homeowner…our customer.

Charlotte Fort Mill custom home builder Beck Design Group with Adam Ferrara.

When we remove all of the design plans, the heavy equipment, the building materials and the process, what we really do is help people be happy and further enjoy their homes.  That is really the end result of building or remodeling a home.  It’s the people who then live in and enjoy their new home.

We recently received another wonderful “thank you” letter from a great family in Lake Wylie who our company helped save their house from improper building on unstable soil.  These letters really bring what we do down to a few sentences that mean so much to us.  The Yakutis family writes:

After five years of problems with our residence (built on unstable soil), we finally come back from work and see a home. Thank you for that piece of mind.

Yakutis family…you’re welcome!

If you would like to learn more about how we can help you build a new home or remodel your existing home, please call Adam Ferrara at Beck Design Group at 803-746-7908 or email adam@beckdesigngroupllc.com.  You’ll find that we build and remodel fantastic homes and can help your family create a lifetime of memories and comfort!

Take, for example, the outdoor porch/living room that is featured on this page.  The homeowner wanted an outdoor room that was open to enjoy their back yard but still had some of the amenities of an indoor room…ceiling fan, canned lights, framed open window spaces, and a finished enclosed ceiling.  This new outdoor room can now have either screens or windows installed when the homeowner is ready!  A perfect outdoor living addition that was fast to design and build and was extremely affordable.

Charlotte Fort Mill Residential Structural Foundation Remediation Company Saves a Sinking House!

Charlotte Fort Mill residential structural remediation and repair from Beck Design Group.This particular structural remediation and remodeling project is one that we at Beck Design Group will not soon forget!  Do you remember the house that was quickly sinking into the ground back in March of this year?

Beck Design Group was working with a homeowner who’s home had been suffering from major sinking and cracking.  The home was built by their previous builder and was built on poor soil.  As we did our investigation to determine the cause of the home’s sinking, we discovered that there was three feet of buried trees under the home!

Our plan was to provide structural remediation and repair to the home.  We completely excavated the material from underneath the home to remove the unstable and poorly-repaired soil.  As you can see from the pictures on this page, we gave this structure a reliable and proper foundation that will support this home for a long time.Fort Mill Charlotte residential structure repair and remodeling with Beck Design Group. And the “after” photo appears here at the right.

Residential structural remediation and repair services from Beck Design Group includes structural risk assessments, structural diagnosis, engineered structural solutions and documentation, total project management, and construction supervision.

How Much Should You Spend on Kitchen Remodeling in Charlotte and Fort Mill?

Charlotte Fort Mill kitchen remodeling contractor Beck Design Group.According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, current costs for kitchen makeovers range from $18,000 to $55,000+, with an average price of almost $29,000. Cost can vary based on region, design, materials, quality of appliances and budget. Careful planning can help you get the most value for your investment, simplify maintenance, maximize efficiency, functionality and beauty and reflect your own personality.

Beck Design Group remodels kitchens on all types of homes and values.  Consider the market value of your home to determine your kitchen remodeling budget. Studies suggest that 90-98% of kitchen remodeling costs can be recouped, but kitchen remodeling is only a good investment if the cost is relative to the house’s worth.

A trendy, state-of-the-art kitchen makeover could be a dramatic selling point in a growing communityCharlotte Fort Mill custom crafted kitchen cabinets from Beck Design Group.like Baxter Village and Piper Glen, or a prime location, but probably not a good investment in a modest neighborhood. Keep it below 15%. Generally speaking, a kitchen-remodeling budget should not exceed 15% of your home’s value.

With those figures in mind, a $375,000 home can expect an average kitchen remodeling project around $56,000.  A $675,000 home can expect an average kitchen remodeling project around $100,000.

Your house may be in shambles, but you’ll still want hot meals, a snug bed, a refreshing shower, and clean clothes. Seek safe harbor away from the confusion by staying at a motel, taking refuge with a kind relative, or even moving into a travel trailer or recreational vehicle.

But don’t go so far away from home that you lose touch with the project. If you can, or must, live at home during remodeling, rearrange rooms before work begins. To prepare for a kitchen makeover, move your microwave and refrigerator to a place where they can still be used. If the water will be turned off for long periods of time, order bottled water and scout out a place for showers. A bedroom may even become a combination living room/kitchen for awhile.

Tip #2: Keep waste in its place.

There’s no way to avoid a mess when remodeling. But the tide of rubble, trash, and dust can be contained. Home remodeling contractor and builder serving Charlotte and Fort Mill Beck Design Group.Before the swing of the first hammer, we will work out waste logistics with you. Hang tarps in doorways to seal off rooms where remodeling is under way. Establish a plan for handling waste materials so they will be routed away from sensitive areas, such as gardens or porches, and hauled away on a regular basis. If floors need protection, see to it that they are covered up.

Tip #3: Defend against air pollution.

When determining the timetable, pin down the periods when glues, finishes, or other odorous materials will be used. Make certain the house will be properly, even excessively, ventilated when smells are at their peak. Escape to Grandma’s.

Tip #4: Protect your Property from Dust.

Some dust will always drift out of work areas. Electronic equipment, fine furniture, or other valuables should be covered or removed. Also, keep expensive telephones out of the remodeling area.

Tip #5: Communicate with Beck Design Group…We will with You.

Tip #6: Let your neighbors know.

Whenever you decide on renovating your home, make sure the neighbors know. You wouldn’t want to take on any brawls with the neighbors over noise issues. Take along a basket of muffins or invite them over for a party after the renovation. They will surely be cooperative if you take on a positive and friendly attitude.

Tip #7: This is the perfect time to eliminate clutter.

What a great time to go through all of your closets and storage spaces to eliminate items like the old wardrobes, exercise equipment gathering dust in your garage, clothes that haven’t been worn for over two years, old books and keepsakes that are never used, old linens, and items stored in the garage. You’ll be surprised at the reclaimed space that suddenly is available. It will make you feel good during your remodeling project plus it will give you new space!

Tip #8: Protect Your Belongings.

Remove pictures from walls and store fragile items away from the work area. Lock up or remove valuables. Roll up area rugs and store them out of the way. Seal clothing and linens in plastic bags. We will tape plastic sheets to doorways, windows and air vents to seal off Charlotte Fort Mill outdoor patio porch remodeling contractor Beck Design Group.rooms where remodeling is under way. If we are building an addition, we will not break into the main house until the last possible moment so most of the mess will be outside for most of the project. If floors need protection, we will see to it that they are covered up. If you have any special protection requirements, please let us know as soon as possible.

Tip #9: Protect Your Plants.

If we are going to be working in and around your garden or shrubs, you need to move those plants. Before we start, decide which plants you want to save. Saving plants during a remodel means digging them up and potting them; or digging and heeling them in some place away from the construction site. Let us know which plants might be damaged. We do all we can to protect them, but keep in mind that if we are digging a foundation three feet from your clematis arbor, some damage is almost inevitable.

Tip #10: Prepare yourself for a roller coaster of emotions.

Your initial excitement will nose dive once the mess, noise and organized confusion of remodeling begin. At different stages in the process, it’s perfectly normal for your feelings to go up and down. Expect it to happen. Just remind yourself that your original enthusiasm will return with interest when the remodeling is finished and your beautiful new space is ready to use.
