Home Sweet Home

Advanced Restoration is here to not only help restore the quality of your home, but to build the quality of your life. With the real estate market declining in Utah as well as nationwide, many people are forgoing selling their home and are thinking about remodeling instead. Remodeling could be in your best interest because of the money you may be able to save and potentially invest.

Every situation is different and every one needs special attention. For instance, maybe you don’t feel your house is big enough to accommodate your growing family but you have great neighbors or your child’s school is excellent. When remodeling you have the control over the features and style you want, without the hassle of moving. Rarely do you find a home that is perfect the way it is, but with you making the decisions it can be. Ultimately, the cost and time spent selling and fixing up a home can be just as much as a renovation. With the right additions and changes, remodeling can increase your selling price if you do decide to move.

When you remodel with the intention to sell in the near future, keep your changes simple and reasonable. Stay with classic looks and don’t go for the style of the moment. Often homeowners will go overboard with changes that become turn offs for potential buyers. The shag carpet in the 70’s and today’s over-the-top bathrooms with giant Jacuzzi tubs might fit into this category.
Also keep in mind the value and style of your neighbors’ homes. The buyers looking in your neighborhood may or may not appreciate your efforts. They might not know the difference between granite counter tops and Formica.

Advanced Restoration is fully equipped to assist you in any remodel needs, from the simplest project to home expansion. You spend so much time in your home, so make it relaxing and a place you can enjoy!
