Charlotte and Fort Mill Attic Remodeling Trends Include Home Theater Rooms

You may have guessed that the hottest attic remodeling trend would be a play room, or a bonus room, or a new master suite.  Actually, the hottest attic remodeling trend in Charlotte and Fort Mill is a transformation into a new home theater!

So what is new in home theaters across Charlotte and Fort Mill?  Everything is, of course!  Homeowners are remaining in their existing homes and not moving around as often.  So remodeling attic and basement spaces are hot projects around our area.

While home theater remains its own category, the lines are blurring.  Home automation, Web-based mobile apps and streaming Internet content are converging. The home theater experience is becoming the integrated entertainment component of today’s homeowner-centric smart-home that includes security, lighting, heating and cooling, and convenience.  It’s all accessible, programmable and definitely cool.  And that means that an unused space in the home needs to turn into a usable space.

The home theater technology is definitely a hot market and the physical components and technologyare becoming more affordable as time passes.  Depending on the structure of your home, an attic conversion for your new home theater room may be straight forward or it could entail modifying the structure of your house.

For example, ceilings may have to be raised, truss system reconfigured, etc.  No matter what is required, Beck Design Group has the expertise, knowledge and experience to ensure the work is done according to building code and regulations, ensuring the integrity of your home and its structure, and providing you with safe, accessible living space to fit your lifestyle.

Beck Design Group will complete the entire attic conversion for you…from design to material choices to construction to installation of the home theater.  To find out more about converting your attic or basement into a home theater room, call Adam Ferrara at Beck Design Group at 803-746-7908 or email adam@beckdesigngroupllc.com.  We look forward to giving you the hottest attic remodeling trend in Charlotte and Fort Mill!

Charlotte Fort Mill Top 5 Residential Remodeling Questions with Beck Design Group

We get a lot of questions every day from homeowners about remodeling and building projects.  But out of the hundreds of residential remodeling and building projects that we have been involved with over the past 10+ years, there are the same Top 5 remodeling questions that homeowners ask most often.  Within these Top 5 questions, there are variations, but the core of the questions always remain consistent!  We hope you enjoy reviewing the Top 5 Home Remodeling questions from Beck Design Group.

Top 5 Home Remodeling Questions from Beck Design Group Customers

Top Remodeling Question #1:  What are the advantages of a design/build remodeling company?

From a homeowner perspective, a design/build residential general contractor like Beck Design Group provides you, the client, a single source of responsibility, authority and cost control for your remodeling project, from start to finish. Our design/build approach leads you, as a homeowner, to:
(a) only pay for a design which can realistically be built within your overall budget;
(b) only deal with one single project contact…us;
(c) a total, open disclosure about every aspect of your project…this means better communication and no hidden or costly surprises

Top Remodeling Question #2:  Are All Licensed Contractors Considered General Contractors?

No! A general building contractor is “a contractor whose principal business is in connection with any structure built, being built, or to be built, requiring in its construction the use of at least two unrelated building trades or crafts (e.g. plumbing, electrical, drywall, etc. ).” Room additions and most kitchen and master bath remodels are best handled by a licensed general contractor, as these projects typically encompass demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc.  Beck Design Group is a licensed residential general contractor.

Top Remodeling Question #3:  What is the Best Way to Determine My Remodeling Project Budget?

The most reliable method is to get a precise bid based on a set of plans and product specifications. Obviously, this is not practical during the initial planning stages of a remodeling project.  Beck Design Group is happy to provide you with a “ballpark” budget range based on a preliminary, no-obligation consultation. This meeting allows us to learn first-hand about what you ideally want to accomplish with your home remodel along with your top priorities.  In turn, we can offer valuable information to help you make key decisions and continue to move forward toward your goals.

Top Remodeling Question #4:  How Do I Plan for the Home Remodel?

The first step is to develop an idea of what you want to do. Write a prioritized list of your needs and wants. Look at magazines and websites and collect pictures of what you like. The more clearly you can envision the project and describe it on paper, the better prepared you’ll be in making your decision.  Think about traffic patterns, furniture size and placement, colors, lighting and how you expect to use the remodeled space. Figure out how much money you have to spend on the remodeling job, furnishings, landscaping or any other cost you might incur. We can help you from the very beginning if you need us!  Read our Tips on Surviving a Home Remodel Project!

Top Remodeling Question #5:  What Do You Handle During the Remodeling Project?

Beck Design Group coordinates and manages everything.  From A to Z.  We handle all permits and budgets, all craftsmen and tradesmen, planning, design, finishes, clean-up and final walk-through.  We do everything.  Your role will be to provide “approvals” during the selection and design process.  We communicate very closely with our clients so that you will understand everything that is happening.  Total disclosure.  We do not want you to be surprised about anything that happens in your remodeling project.

For a private meeting with Adam Ferrara of Beck Design Group to discuss your remodeling ideas or upcoming remodeling projects, please call Adam at 803-746-7908 or email adam@beckdesigngroupllc.com.  We think that during our first meeting together you will feel comfortable in knowing that you selected the right people at Beck Design Group to handle your remodeling project!
