There are countless TV shows about home improvements and remodeling old houses. They make it look fun and easy. They make it look like the design process is done simply by snapping your fingers, and their construction is pretty much like a party, right? Unfortunately, the home improvement and remodeling processes only work like that in the land of television. Things go wrong, even for the teams that make it on international television. It’s only through the magic of editing and selective transparency that everything goes according to plan.
In reality, there are a lot of things that can and will go wrong. There’s a term called Murphy’s law that, in its simplest form, states, “If anything can go wrong, it will.” This saying has been applied heavily to project planning industries and is especially true in designing and construction. That’s not to say that your desired results are unachievable. On the contrary, an excellent design-build team (like Winthorpe Design and Build) can do more than fix the problem. A good team can learn from these incidents and turn them from mishaps into unexpected opportunities.
Even the best design and build team in the world will encounter at least one issue in a project. The difference between them and a sub-par team you found for a suspiciously low price is that the professionals will find a way to make it work. Even if the build you had in mind for the original project is impossible, they’ll find a way to change the design so that you can still get what you need out of it.
This innovation and flexibility is what we here at Winthorpe Design and Build continually aspire to provide. We aim to put our years of experience and expertise to the test with every project. We analyze every design option available, thus ensuring that you are aware of all your options, see their pros and cons, and decide for yourself what you want to do. We take you with us through every step of the process to ensure we’re on the right track. We keep you in the loop so you can have peace of mind. After all, there’s nothing more important to us than knowing our customers are 100% happy with the results.
Home Improvements and Remodels with Winthorpe Design and Build
Home improvement can mean anything from a few interior design changes to a whole-home renovation or even adding an entirely new story to your house. Not everybody is aware of the wide variety of possibilities they have to choose from.
Winthorpe Design and Build is here to help. We understand that deciding to renovate or make home improvements is stressful, especially if it’s your first time. We have put our decades of experience to work for you by compiling some of our best ideas for home improvement and remodeling.
Changing Floor Designs
Changing a room’s flooring design can vary the room’s whole look and feel. Stone, brick, and wood floors give a room a natural mood, whereas tiles can make a room feel busy or minimalist, depending on how you use them.
Changing Wall Designs
Wall designs are just as pivotal to the style of a room as flooring, if not more. Changing your paint color can make a room go from comforting and relaxing to ominous and overbearing. When looking for a significant change with minimal effort, this is the way to go.
Adding or Removing Walls
Adding or removing a wall is one of the more extreme home improvement options, but it works. If the openness of your home makes you feel like you lack privacy, adding a wall can make all the difference. Removing a wall gives a sense of openness that many families enjoy.
Adding/Removing Rooms
Many people find that adding or removing rooms is worth it in the end, despite it being a more drastic-feeling measure. Reasons for doing so range from a change in the size of a family to simply wanting to change in their house’s floor plan and having the means to do so.
