New NBC4 Home Remodeling Series - Helping Hands #5 REVISED - Video

Homeowners who tap their equity to remodel will be limited to the lenders' maximum loan-to-value, or LTV, ratio. Most lenders won't allow a homeowner to borrow more than 80 percent of the value, says Stephen LaDue, senior loan officer at Prime Lending, a mortgage company in Brookfield, Wis.

"If you have a $250,000 house, 80 percent is $200,000. If you want to do a $50,000 remodel and you owe $175,000, you only have $25,000 to work with," LaDue says.

Shopping around might turn up a local lender or credit union that will step up to 90 percent, LaDue adds.

"Be a smart shopper and ask upfront: 'What are your loan-to-value limitations? Can I go up to 80? Can I go up to 90 with a second mortgage?'" he says.

A second mortgage might be especially difficult to get because second-mortgage lenders were among those who "took it on the chin the worst in the housing crisis," LaDue explains.

Still, some homeowners can pull out enough cash for a modest remodeling project that makes a house they'd planned to sell more comfortable for a longer stay, says Rob McAllister, a mortgage broker at West Seattle Mortgage in Seattle.

"People are refinancing, taking the low rate and pulling out $20,000 or $30,000 to get the house to where it needs to be for them to stay there longer than they'd anticipated," McAllister says.

An informal NARI website poll in April 2012 found quite a few homeowners planned to keep their home longer than they'd originally intended. Twenty-eight percent planned to stay an additional one to five years, 23 percent intended to remain another six to 10 years, 10 percent added 11 to 15 years, and 26 percent planned to stay 16 to 20 years longer.

Only 13 percent said they hadn't extended the time they expected to live in their home. The survey isn't scientific because those polled were self-selected and searching for information about remodeling, yet it offers a sliver-sized snapshot of homeowner behavior.

Savings or Loan? Paying for a Remodeling Project

Remodeling a bathroom is one room remodel that will increase the value of your home; this is not a place to cut the budget, but how can you get great quality and a great price? Let us tell you how and the steps to take in the remodeling project.

(PRWEB) February 27, 2013

In considering rooms to remodel and update that will increase the value of a home, take a serious look at the kitchen and the bathrooms.

The renovation of a bathroom is not a good place to cut budgets. But there are ways to keep the quality and save a lot of money.

The professionals for DirectBuy of Indianapolis, Holly Deniham who is a professional in cabinetry and preferred vendor Jon Knight of Emmons & Associates, who specializes in remodeling projects gave the steps in remodeling a bathroom.

The first suggestion is to dream and gather. Dream about the changes in the current bathrooms and what to keep in the bathrooms, make a list.

Gather pictures of bathrooms; magazines, websites, pinterest, visit home shows and open houses and then divide the pictures into two sets; must have and would like to have. This will be important to know when it comes to working on the budget.

Next, meet with the contractor, DirectBuy can give a referral list, have them come to the home to discuss the extent of the project. Points to discuss:

Do walls need to be moved or eliminated?

Do electrical outlets need to be changed or switches relocated?

Sterling Works offers $50 off all remodeling services in celebration of the debut of their new website describing their unique qualifications.

Decatur, GA (PRWEB) February 26, 2013

Sterling Works happy and satisfied customers can attest to that fact, as seen from testimonials on their new website http://www.atldesignbuild.com/. They are a Decatur, GA based design-build company well-known for listening carefully to their clients vision, lifestyle, needs, and budget as well as their willingness to be flexible. They keep lines of communication open at all times regarding progress schedules and design adjustments, stick to the budget, and do what they say they are going to do. They also stays abreast of developing building trends and brings their ever-growing knowledge base to every job.

We are keenly aware that homeowners are allowing a group of strangers into their home, says Philip Trapkin, owner of Sterling Works. We are very respectful and conscientious of peoples privacy. Remodeling can create a lot of dust and disturbance so we make every effort to keep the area of construction confined to minimize the effect on the rest of the home and make the process as smooth as possible. In addition, we use the same reliable, talented, and experienced subcontractors that weve been using for the past decade and can trust.

To celebrate the launching of their new website, they are offering a $50 discount on all their remodeling services. The website describes their various services including:

Custom Kitchen Remodels

With 20 years of experience in the restaurant business and as an accomplished cook, Philip can help homeowners tailor a kitchen to best fit their lifestyle, needs, and budget. For example, one of their clients had rheumatoid arthritis and the company designed a kitchen that worked with her limitations. We are very thorough with our interviews and have a 10-page questionnaire we use to determine a clients needs, Philip explains. For example, we ask how many will be in the kitchen cooking at the same time, if the primary cook is left- or right- handed, what type of cooking do the homeowners enjoy, etc.

Bathroom Remodels

By carefully listening to a homeowners needs and wants, offering ideas if needed, and using high quality products, Sterling Works tailors the scope and design of a bathroom remodel to meet and exceed homeowners expectations. Whether the project is large or small, we approach each project with the sense that we are leaving our mark on this world and it matters how much our customers enjoy the changes to their homes, Philip says.

Maryland SPCA and Atlantic Remodeling Announce Three-Year Partnership

2/28/2013 2:30 AM ET

By Marcie Geffner, HSH.com

If you're justifying home renovations thinking that you'll recover the costs when you sell, you may want to recalculate.

Homeowners who want to remodel will find both joy and sorrow in the 2013 Cost vs. Value Report, recently published by Remodeling Magazine.

The joy comes from the report's finding that remodeling projects overall could be expected to return a higher percentage of their cost at resale in 2013, reversing a six-year decline in the recovered value of such investments. Every project on the national list posted a higher return in 2012 than it did in the prior year. The sorrow is that while returns are higher than they were, they're still far short of 100%.

The complete list included 22 midrange projects, ranging from a $1,137 steel entry door replacement to a $152,470 second-story addition, and 13 upscale projects, ranging from a $2,720 garage door replacement to a $220,086 master suite addition.

In the mid-range category, the least costly project -- that steel entry door replacement -- posted the highest return at 85.6% of the cost.

When remodeling doesn't pay

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 28, 2013) - Chad of All Trades is a company comprised of San Diego handymen, repairmen and remodeling professionals who have served both home and business owners by handling projects that have included additions for buildings, adding outdoor amenities to properties and helping with repair work that is needed in homes and businesses. The company is set to launch its new program that's known as "Remodeling the Customer Experience" for the benefit of those they serve in San Diego County.

When a team member with Chad of All Trades reports to a home or an office to help with whatever work needs to be done, that team member tends to look at the building from the perspective of a contractor instead of as a trades person. As such, the San Diego contractor who reports to these properties tends to survey the building from a standpoint of everything that could need to be done instead of just looking at one aspect of potential improvement or repair work.

Given this instinctive perspective, the team at Chad of All Trades is going to launch its "Remodeling the Customer Experience" program in such a way that the customer will be able to simply be matched with an appropriate trades person instead of having to call a list of referrals and go through the entire due diligence project for every different type of work that needs to be done on a property. This program will allow customers to streamline their entire repair and/or remodeling experience.

In addition to providing customers with exact matches for their trades-related needs, Chad of All Trades will provide the customer with the same experience that they received from Chad of All Trades in terms of service and approach. This uniformity will provide an additional measure of comfort for the customer and reassure that person that he or she is getting a qualified professional to handle a particular job.

"Our customers can contact us for ANY construction-related trade and we will dispatch the appropriately trained and skilled person for that job, and in turn the client will always have the same experience that includes a call before arrival, a picture of the trades person coming, email confirmation, the removal of shoes until a work area is prepped and other benefits," said Chad Arendsen, the owner of Chad of All Trades. Contact Chad of All Trades today to learn more about this program and how it can benefit you and your remodeling or handyman needs.

About Chad of All Trades

Chad of All Trades is a San Diego home remodeling service that has been providing help by way of home remodeling projects, repair work, outdoor remodeling projects, home expansions and many other types of home improvement work. The team of San Diego home remodelers has a collective level of professional experience that exceeds 40 years, and the team is expanding into these markets because of its trusted track record of results.
