From kitchen and bathroom remodels to transforming a ranch into a colonial, there’s no job Brian Pauley’s design/build team at Remodel Me Today can’t tackle.
The Bagley Road establishment, which has been in business since 2000, serves as a one-stop shop for clients to consult with designers and pick out materials.
When it comes to increasing the average home value, Pauley points to three projects that deliver on fashion and functionality.
Kitchen: Painting perimeter cabinets white or light gray and using a stain or other accent color on the island “gives you a really dynamic look in the kitchen,” Pauley says.
Master bathroom: Whether a steam room or a sauna, a free-standing tub or his-and-her vanities, the money you invest will be returned “if you’re positioned to stay put for at least five years,” he adds.
Basement: Adding a rec room, bar, home office or even a bedroom will pay dividends over the long haul. “Anytime you’re able to add more square footage of living space to the home, you’re doing a great improvement to the value,” he notes.
