Additions, Remodeling & Restorations

Additions, Remodeling & Restorations

Updated: 4 years ago

W hether it’s to accommodate a growing family or address aging-in-place concerns, a love of a current neighborhood or because the tight housing market is making finding a new home a challenge, more and more people are opting to remodel their existing home. Whichever the reason, renovating your home, or building an addition – or both – can be a great way to address your family’s evolving needs.

As we begin to work together on your renovation plans, our first questions will be about what isn’t working in your home and what you would like to achieve as a result of the remodeling work.

If your nest has recently emptied, are their spaces that can be transformed to reflect your new lifestyle, such as creating an open floor plan to make entertaining at home more fun? Or do you anticipate your grown children visiting with their families? Perhaps a master suite removed from other bedrooms would make sense.

We’ll not only ask questions about your immediate needs, but long-term ones as well. If you plan on staying in your home as you grow older, would an addition with a first-floor master suite make that a more realistic possibility?

Because HPA Design has handled the plans for so many home remodeling projects and home additions, we know which questions to ask. Our designs will also ensure that the newly-renovated – or newly-added – portions of your home blend seamlessly with the existing areas.
