Yes, within reason. All changes made to rooms are subject to approval by the house director and College Houses. Generally you may repaint all or part of your room and the house will provide the paint if you provide the labor. If you make unapproved changes, you will be required to either return the room to its previous state or be billed for the cost of doing so. The house contracts with an exterminator to come and spray the house regularly.

The most cost-effective improvements are to the kitchen or bathroom. For instance, if you convert a one-bathroom home into a one-and-a-half bathroom home, you'll expand your market of possible buyers. It's better to leave the extensive remodeling to the buyer. Be sure to "undecorate" your home. You want the buyer to focus on the home, not on the way you've decorated it. Remember, you aren't striving for a home that looks lived in, but one that looks ready to be lived in.

I can provide referrals for certain people such as a painter or repairperson. Just like any other consumer decision, it is best to personally check references and contact places such as the Better Business Bureau when looking to hire anyone for a service or project. Like me, an independent business owner, other tradespeople are independent and responsible for their work. I can make no guarantees for their performance.

Requirements vary based on the scope of the remodel. If you have an existing facility it is recommended that you speak to the Environmental Health Specialist assigned to your area.

A cabinet design specialist will meet with you in your home to measure areas that you would like to remodel. In the event that you already have measurements, simply bring in your plans to our design center and meet with a designer. Once measuring is complete, the designer will professionally design your project on our state of the art design software. This will enable you to understand what the area or areas will look like through 3-D perspective drawings.

The length of time depends directly with the extent of work being done. Pools that are just being sandblasted and re-plastered can be completed in 5 days ore less depending on weather. If tile or coping are being replaced, you can figure 7 days or less. We do everything possible to minimize down time.

Start by asking the contractor what he or she recommends. There may be stages of the project where you need to be out of the house. If the contractor says that you can stay, you want to consider whether you will have the use of the critical areas of the home during the remodel project: bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen.

Absolutely. And we can usually remodel it while you are still working in your old copy of it, so we don't interrupt your work flow.

Some neighbors have suggested moving services such as Trauma to the Cohasset facility. Since merging with Chico Community Hospital, Enloe has explored the possibility of opening several new services at Cohasset, including a Cancer Center. However, the facility fails to meet new seismic regulations, and the cost to expand or remodel is prohibitive.

the risk of sounding elusive, we really must say that “it depends.” The scope of the bathroom remodeling dictates how long the project will take. For example, if you are relocating your fixtures and reconfiguring the room, the actual construction will obviously take a little bit longer. But, it is important to remember that moving fixtures will generally require building department permits, which will also add to the project time.

Actual construction....all the messy unpleasant stuff...can take as little as 6 weeks for a remove and replace job to as long a 4 to 6 months if you are gutting the kitchen, moving walls, changing out windows or adding to the footprint of the house....BUT WAIT! There is more to a remodel then construction..

The new improvements will be appraised at market value. The new taxable value is computed by adjusting the new additions market value with the Measure 50 rules. This gives new property a similar adjustment to other property that received the Measure 50, 1995 assessed value roll back. top
