Define Your Dream
.
Use your imagination to see the
ideal look and layout of the space you’re planning to
renovate. Try to visualize it on your own, first, without
using magazine photos or showrooms. Than, research, research
and research. Visit local showrooms stores to get ideas of
what's out there and how it will fit into your lifestyle. Go
on the Internet. You’ll find a wealth of design ideas you can
tap into. Browse home design magazines. They’re an excellent
source for finding beautifully detailed spaces that appeal to
your sense of style. Find a picture of one or two specific
items like a wall tile, sink or countertop – that’s enough to
begin the design process.
Designing your dream
.
Take a shot at designing your space. Measuring, of course, is
the first step in the design process. Determine how much space
you have to work with. Will the materials you’re contemplating
fit in the space? Will they look good? Try to draw the basic
layout of how you’d like things to look.
Price your dream
. Your research will give you
some idea of how much the materials for your dream will cost.
But what about the labor? You need an estimate. Absolut
Remodeling will provide you a full labor proposal with a firm
price quote. We don’t low-ball our quotes to get the job then
increase the price as the project goes on.

What type of return on
investment can I expect
Kitchen
.

national average return on investment for kitchen remodeling
is between 84.8% and 98.5% depending upon whether it is a
major or minor project and whether the budget is upscale or
moderate. However, in large metropolitan areas like Atlanta,
the return ranged from 119.5% to 135%.
Bathroom
. Bathrooms typically get the best return on investment in a remodeled home.
Realtor® Magazine reported that for the year 2005, the national average return
on investment for bathroom remodeling was between 93.2% and 102.2% depending
upon the budget is upscale or moderate. In large metropolitan areas like Atlanta, the return ranged from 116% to 136.3%. So, many people actually make
substantial money when investing in a bathroom remodeling project.
Custom Windows Treatments
. As any decorator or designer
knows, windows can be one of the most important elements in
any room. Windows not only act as a bridge between the
inside and outside worlds, but also control natural light
flowing into a room and help shape a person's perception of
space and distance. Since bare, unadorned, windows rarely
look right, and the style of window dressing can vastly
alter the look of a room, you'll want to choose carefully
when shopping for window treatments.
