4 Popular Home Remodeling Ideas to Rejuvenate Your House

A home remodeling project involves improving the function and/or the appearance of a house. From installing a new roof to refinishing the basement to create an additional bedroom, you have numerous ideas on how to increase the value of your home. The question is which home remodeling project or projects should you tackle?

At Mares & Dow, we present four popular home remodeling ideas to rejuvenate your house.

Add More Light Sources

By adding lighting fixtures such as spotlights, and low-hanging pendants, you can brighten one or more rooms in your home. Artificial light sources also help you illuminate focal points of your home, such as an art collection or a grand piano. Illumination on a granite or marble countertop immediately brightens the ambiance of a room.

However, you have another way to add more light sources, and it involves welcoming sunlight into your home. One of our most popular home remodeling projects involves installing skylights in locations of a home that receive plenty of sunlight. Skylights deliver several benefits, which include elevating mood and helping you save money on energy bills.

Install Siding

When you think about enhancing the exterior of your house, you probably think first about installing a new roof or undergoing an extensive painting project. Although both are considered effective ways to improve the curb appeal of your home, a less costly and just as effective outdoor home remodeling project involves the installation of siding.

First, you and our team of contractors determine the right material for the siding to be installed. Second, you have to decide where you want the siding installed. As the name implies, siding attaches to the sides of houses. However, you might not want to install siding up and down the side of your home. Mares & Dow installs the highest quality siding that accentuates other exterior features of your house.

Add One or More Retaining Walls

Typically considered more of a functional home remodeling project, the addition of one or more retaining walls accomplishes much more than diverting rainwater and preventing certain areas of your property from turning into flood zones. Adding one or more retaining walls also enhances the visual appeal of your property, as well as separates your property into different areas of landscape.

Mares & Dow offers the highest-grade materials for retaining walls that improve the appearance of your property, as well as cover all the functional requirements.

Create an Outdoor Living Space

If you frequently entertain large groups of guests, creating an outdoor living space increases the amount of room where you play host. Installing a pergola or gazebo gives more room for guests to sit. Even if you do not entertain often, building an outdoor living space gives you and your family a place to get away from it all. Clients who love to cook can do their thing with much more room when we add an outdoor kitchen.

When the time comes to complete one of the four popular home remodeling ideas to rejuvenate your house, you want to hire a general contractor that has a proven record of success. At Mares & Dow, we offer a team of experienced and knowledgeable general contractors to help you achieve the vision that you have for your home.
