Home Renovation Project

Home Renovation Project

$37,000

We recently renovated a single-family home in Chesterfield County, VA. The scope of the renovation included: New Roof, with 20+ year warranty Removal of old and replacement of 720sq.ft decking All new insulation under the house Termite treatment, again, with full warranty New Hot Water Heater, 5 year warranty New Kitchen, including all appliances New solid wood kitchen work tops, custom made New hardwood flooring throughout entire house New laundry room floor, removed old vinyl, replaced with 3/4" ply then installed ceramic tile All new interior doors, trim and skirting boards All new interior light fixtures New Air Conditioning unit Decorative faux fireplace Replacement of external cedar siding as required Complete paint work, interior and exterior Total garden clearance and landscaping Replacement as required, electric baseboard heaters This project was undertaken as a lovely little house for a young person or couple just starting on the property ladder. Because this is a starter home, this project was done with the view that people just beginning in property are the people who can least afford a home that requires lots of maintenance and repair work. Without exception, there was no detail that wasn't considered. A lot of tasks were done, not because we were obliged to, such as installation of under house insulation, but was done to reduce the running costs of the home, in both heating and air conditioning. When the hot water tank was replaced, it had a 1 year manufacturer's warranty, we purchased an additional 5 year warranty, again, entirely for the benefit of the owner. Yes, we could have done the house for a lot less money, but, we wanted to complete a house that we would be proud to sell to a young couple, knowing that we sold a place that was beautifully and thoughtfully renovated, providing the owner with undoubtedly the very best little house they could purchase for the money. In short, this project began from a position of renovation with integrity and ethics. We simply wouldn't make or build anything that we, ourselves, wouldn't also be pleased to own or live in. In all respects, the house was renovated using the best materials available for the budget allowed. Any materials which were suitable for re-cycling were.
