When remodeling a house, the first step is thorough planning and budgeting. This includes deciding on the scope of the project, setting a realistic budget, and hiring the right professionals. It’s essential to create a clear vision of the desired outcome and obtain necessary permits before any demolition or construction begins.

Whether renovating is cheaper than buying depends on several factors. Renovating can be more cost-effective if the changes are minor and the current home meets most needs. However, extensive renovations can become costly and sometimes exceed the price of buying a new home. It’s important to compare the costs of renovation with current market prices and consider the long-term benefits and drawbacks of each option.

When David started RCT, now Restoration Remodel, 20 years ago he wanted to specialize in restoring craftsman homes to their original condition, specifically in carpentry and tile materials and accents. We’ve kept the name even though we’ve expanded to include so much more than carpentry and tile. We are general contractors with a background in craftsman woodworking and stonework…what’s better than that!?

The business has always served a greater purpose than itself. When David started RCT, he and his wife were also beginning the process of adopting children from international situations. they’ve now done that eight times and RCT has been the economic engine supporting that outreach effort.

Everyone who works for RCT has a commitment to the local community and expresses it in different ways. When you hire us, you know that you’re getting local impact.

Also, we’ve been in the business for 20 years. That’s not commonplace these days.

We are training up young men in the trades and providing a positive work environment.

The 30% rule for renovation advises that you should not spend more than 30% of your home’s current value on renovation projects. This guideline helps ensure that the investment in upgrades remains proportional to the home’s overall worth, preventing overcapitalization.
