Congratulations! You’re considering a remodel. Now what?

Forward Design Build is here to help, with everything you need to know about remodeling your Ann Arbor home’s kitchen, bathroom, basement, and more. Stay tuned to our blog over the next few months as we break down all the steps, starting this month with the most basic: deciding to remodel. 

Is Remodeling Right for You?

While some people know that remodeling is the right path, it’s not as clear for others. That’s ok! Here are some hints that a remodel could be an excellent option for you:

• Your frustrations with your home have you thinking about moving, but you really love your neighborhood and would rather not leave

• You love your house, but a life change such as a growing family or a new work-from-home job has changed your needs

• You know your home has potential, but want it to feel more like you and your style 

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, remodeling could be right for you . 

Still, many homeowners wonder how much remodeling costs, and how disruptive it will be. You may also have questions about how long remodeling takes, or what can be done in your home without a major overhaul. It’s difficult to dive right into remodeling without answers to these questions and more. We understand — that’s why Forward offers a Project Diagnosis service, where you’ll receive a no-commitment report of your goals, existing conditions, and a recommended path forward. With our Project Diagnostic service, you’ll be able to make an educated decision on whether to remodel — and whether we’re the right partner for you. 

We stand by our values and our proven process to help clients live better in their homes, and as much as we hope to help as many as possible, we understand it’s not always meant to be. We are, however, a great match for homeowners who: 

• Value quality craftsmanship over the lowest bid

• Need a stress-free one-stop-shop from design to construction

• Are looking for an experienced team who will listen to their needs and input

• Value companies dedicated to giving back to the community

Sound like you? We hope to connect with you soon to get your project underway! Here’s a preview of what you can expect when signing on to a Forward remodel:

The Forward Design Build Process

Step 1: Concept Design

We begin by reviewing your list of priorities, goals, and dreams for the project.

Step 2: Detailed Design

This is where the design gets fine-tuned, and details start to emerge.

Step 3: Agreement Documents

Permit and construction drawings are completed, and all client selections are finalized and documented.

Step 4: Construction

We’ll keep you posted every step of the way as your project takes shape. 

Step 5: Enjoyment!

We’ll make sure everything meets (or exceeds!) your expectations, so you can sit back and enjoy your fabulous new space. 

Need more details? We were hoping you would! In the next few months, we’ll dive deeper into our design process, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with a Forward remodel.
