Remodeling & Additions
- In addition to new home construction, the David Smith Group also handles remodeling projects and makes additions to existing homes.
Our
staff understands that you love your home, your neighbors, the location
of your home, and the memories you've created there. You simply need
more room for a growing family, or you've finally decided to go for
that gourmet kitchen, or it's time to replace that dated bathroom.
If that's the case, remodeling or a room addition may be the perfect
answer.- One of the primary challenges of “adding on” is making the new addition blend with the existing structure, even when the original construction may have taken place 10, 20, or 100 years ago. This requires keen attention to detail in materials selection, especially on the exterior where old and new meet, and where aging caused by the elements can be particularly noticeable.
On
the exterior of your home, David Smith makes every effort to match
brick, shingles, and trim work. In instances where perfect matching
is virtually impossible, wise choices in complementary materials can
often be made so that the new construction blends seamlessly with
the old.- Inside, the first area most homeowners want to tackle is the kitchen. It's usually a heavily used room and countertops, cabinets, and flooring can take a real beating… especially with young families. A freshly designed kitchen with granite countertops, stylish & functional cabinetry, tile or wood flooring, under cabinet lighting, a new sink with a stylish faucet, and Energy Star appliances can breathe new life into this very busy area of your home.
Of
all the rooms in a home, no room gets dated faster than the bathroom.
Interestingly, many people can enter a bathroom, and by looking at
the ceramic tile, sinks, and toilet, give you a pretty accurate idea
of when the house was built. (To double-check, you can use an old
realtor's trick. Pick up the toilet tank lid, flip it over, and often
times you'll see its manufacture date stamped into the ceramic. Unless
the lid has been replaced, it gives you a good idea of when the house
was built.)- Ceramic tile for both kitchens and baths is now available in an incredible array of new textures, colors, and patterns. And the variety of faucets, basins, and tub/shower fixtures is almost unlimited. Even toilets have been vastly improved!
