My New Palm Beach Home

My husband and I just acquired a new property in Palm Beach, Florida. It has a beautiful view to the ocean with a pool on the side of the beach. It has been abandoned for a few years by its former owner who was a business woman who traveled a lot. She last got a contract to stay in Bali for two years and she was thinking about moving to London after her contract was up. She knew she wouldn’t be back in Florida for a long time, and thus saw no use of the Palm Beach home anymore. However, we needed to get this place fixed up so it could be our vacation home. We looked up Palm Beach home remodeling companies online and luckily we found a reliable and high quality company to do the work for us.

We have been working very hard for many years to build the wealth we have so far and I am finally starting
to see our work paying off. My husband and I were very behind in saving money the first years of our marriage. We were consumed by our monthly student loan bills which seemed to never go away. We held off on buying new cars or having kids because we knew that would put us even more behind. Our new home in Palm Beach seems like the ever-longing dream coming true. It is the material manifestation of our savings and I am very proud to have achieved it.

Nonetheless, we still have work to do, although there is no rush for it! (I keep telling myself this). Humans have a strong tendency to want immediate gratification. This makes us lose ourselves in an illusion that we can only be happy through the instant satisfaction of our five senses. Luckily, our partners at our home remodeling company have helped us enjoy this remodeling process so much that we do not feel like we must reach the end of the road to have fun. Check out our progress!

Remodeling Contractors in Palm Beach

Are you thinking about remodeling your house but aren't sure where to start? Don’t consider yourself creative? Are you on a low budget? Don’t worry! You are not alone. A great way to start is by asking yourself the following questions: What is the feeling you are trying to get from your interior design? How can your design match your lifestyle and personality? What is your maximum budget? From these questions you can start researching the various home decor styles such as art deco, oriental, contemporary, country, and much more! You can always just hire remodeling contractors, in other words, experts who can give you advice and do the work for you.

Are you done exploring the styles yet? Great! Now, the next thing to think about is how long do you want to keep this style? There are styles and colors that only look adequate in certain seasons. You may want to reconsider that beautiful set of comfy summer chairs with the lovely bright yellow cushions for your backyard if you don’t have enough protection for let’s say, the rain! Perhaps you are one of those people who like to switch things up every other year. You don’t have to buy new furniture for every season or every year. There is some furniture and decoration that actually looks good in more than one part of the house; this is perfectly doable! Although, keep in mind the color of your walls, neutral colors make the remodeling process easier and smoother.

One thing I would recommend you keep in mind is “less is better”. When a space looks crowded, well, it is no longer a space. This is where considering a remodeling contractor in Palm Beach may be a good idea since they are great at building and assembling all kinds of things that save up space such as cabinets, or wall holders for things such as musical instruments, plants, books, you name it. I wish you a fun and frustration-free home remodeling!

Construction Company in Palm Beach

Over the years I have learned that to be truly good at something you need to spend several years doing it. That is why when you start a new job it seems like you do everything wrong and no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you always make mistakes. But experience is what teaches you what things you need to be on the lookout for, and what things you should expect to go wrong and thus what to do to prevent that. Because of this, when it comes to any construction service, you should always get a company that has several years of experience. People make mistakes in simple jobs when they don’t have experience, now imagine working in construction. There are hundreds of things that can go wrong in a construction site!

Remodeling from the Inside Out

Remodeling in Palm Beach is very important given it is such a nice residential area. All homes look clean and stylish so you don’t want to be the only owner whose house doesn’t look spectacular. One thing I have noticed over the years is that people usually remodel the inside of their homes and leave aside the exterior. I always wondered why that is. After all, the first thing people notice is the exterior right?

People love remodeling the kitchen and the master bathroom. I know those are probably the two rooms that receive constant upgrading. But I think remodeling the outside can bring along great benefits. For instance, you could get a new deck or patio where you could receive your visitors or hang out with your spouse, relaxing without any electronic devices around.

Being outdoors can be fun and relaxing and it’s good that people unplug from all electronics every now and then. Remodeling companies also offer landscape services which will help your home exterior look splendid. That would definitely make all your neighbors envy you! And it would be something nice to see every day as

you get home.

I think investing a nice deck and a lovely garden is a great idea and this type of remodeling project should be more popular. Homeowners should consider remodeling from the inside out, instead of only focusing on the inside. Sure, the kitchen and the master bathroom are important, but so is the patio!

Once a Lego player, now a home builder

My husband was born in Palm Beach. That’s actually the first thing he said to me when we met. I think he was probably trying to impress me since Palm Beach could easily be pegged the ‘’Malibu of the East’’. He then told me how he had grown up playing with Legos (the popular building game) and how he wanted to be in the construction business (that first part probably won me over).

He studied civil engineering and worked in an architect’s firm as an intern so he knew a lot about the ins and outs of project development, commercial buildings, and home remodeling. Business was scarce in Palm Beach and in the whole country for that matter after the housing bubble burst following the financial collapse of 2008. His business suffered so much through those turbulent times which really seem like yesterday. We barely got by at the time but as he liked to say in full contractor slang I was his building rock or foundation and he tagged the housing bubble fallout as a stepping stone to better things. He may have been right since now business is starting to pick up again. Unemployment is going down, wages are going up which translates into higher purchasing power for people in the middle and higher class that happen to be go-to market in places like Palm Beach.

I loved his newfound success and I also enjoyed looking at him very proud of his hard work and our resilience through the difficult times. Whenever he asks me how we did it I just say: ‘’the priest did say through thick and thin dear’’. I get him every time I say that. We are renting for the time being but if the current trend of growth in the housing and commercial building markets continues and business continues to thrive, we may just start a little home developing project of our own, in Palm Beach of course.

Remodeling Contractors

There is a lot of work involved in remodeling. A lot of people prefer to hire someone else to do the job for them hoping for better results. Not only can the appearance of a home or the office building be enhanced professionally, but it also ensures that all particulars are met with construction standards that translate into more safety.

I personally always hire remodeling contractors because of the cited reasons and also because I don’t

have the time or experience to do these upgrades on my own. The last time I did a remodeling, was when my dad was coming to visit me; I wanted to make sure that he saw I was living in a nice place not only because that would convey that I was successful but it would also save me the hassle of listening to his well-meant sermons about the importance of a ‘’shipshape’’ household (he was in the Navy and uses terms like that).

If you want your own home to be ‘’shipshape’’ then you definitely should go with the option of a remodeling contractor. There is a growing demand in that field now that the housing industry is finally rebounding from a huge recession so there is a very broad supply of contractors to cope with that demand; they usually take great care into delivering your customized requests.

There are also many publications or apps like Pinterest that offer great interior design ideas for you to build on (in your mind) the material author of the masterpiece has to be a remodeling contractor if you really want the end result to match what was shown on that ‘’Pin’’ or article. All you should worry about is choosing layouts, materials, concepts and making sure that the projects stay on or under budget. Construction can be affordable if you do it the right way, an expert or experienced contractor could most likely deliver the most cost efficient solution to your home improvement needs.
