ADDITIONS & OUTBUILDINGS
An addition to any Home or Business should be done by a Contractor that is experienced with additions plus the over all design and permitting process it takes to get started and see a project through to the finish. F/X Repair & Remodeling is just that Contractor. Our many years of experience doing additions to Homes and Businesses give us the experience and confidence to see your addition through from start to finish. We are a Full Service Contractor. That means contracting with F/X Repair & Remodeling gives you access to all of our experience and resources:

We have a designer on staff at all times who can sit down and work with you in our conference room on the big screen so you can see your addition come to life. When working with our designer, we find it very helpful to have a list of “what ifs” so you can see what your different ideas might look like on screen, which can help you make an informed choice. You will know what the finished addition will look like when completed. We have an Engineering Firm that we can count on if engineering is needed.

We have Plumbers, Electricians, Designers, Construction Personnel and Production Managers to see the addition through to completion with confidence. We are glad to help with the material choices that best fit your needs. F/X Repair has its own employee’s and work crews and we keep subcontracting to a minimum. This allows us to meet our completion dates while meeting the high standard of quality that you deserve and we require from all of our customers.
When thinking of starting an addition, we at F/X Repair find it helpful to get a clear idea of the overall objective as well as the budget you have to complete the project. Also, a list of needs, wants and wishes is always helpful.
So if you are ready to get started on your addition give us a call. We would be happy to help you through the process of making it come to life.

Home Addition Pricing, Cost Estimates and Research:
A home addition is a major investment for a homeowner. With money at stake, it pays to be smart and do your research before undertaking a large remodeling or home addition project. We can start by researching your local real estate market to get the scoop on whether your project will return your investment when it is time to sell. A feasibility study can help bring a certain level of focus to your project. The amount you will get in return depends greatly on where you live. Certain areas will get you 100% percent of the cost of the project back when you sell. By doing our research we will be able to find out what home addition investments recoup the most.
The best advice is to invest in a remodeling/home addition project when you are planning to stay in your home for awhile. Giving yourself a few years to enjoy your improved home is much better than doing it just to increase your resale value. This is true mainly because you can never be sure how much you will get back when you do resell. It makes the most sense to invest in a remodel or home addition when you will be able to enjoy the benefits in the long run. If the primary goal is resell, stick to minor remodels and improvements.

Getting A Return On Your Home Addition Investment
According to recent studies and across many real estate markets, kitchen and bathroom remodeling consistently offers the greatest return on your investment with percentages ranging from 80-100%. Basement, master suites and family room additions also offer a fairly high return. Remodels that convert unused space into functional living space, such as basements and attics, can vary widely from region to region. Deck additions also vary according to region, but in regions where outside activity can be enjoyed, deck additions usually return their full investment.
In addition to doing research in your local real estate market, we will also look around your neighborhood. Consistency among neighborhood homes is crucial to the overall environment and home buyers will notice if your house does not fit in. Any improvement you make to your home should be consistent with other homes on your block. For example, if you invest in an elaborate addition when your house is next to several modest homes, it will stick out like a sore thumb. Making this investment will not provide the return you are hoping because the truth is that home buyers that can afford such a house will look for one in a more expensive neighborhood.
Furthermore, it is important to keep the original design of your house in mind when you attempt to add an addition. One way to do this is by using the same materials. By using the same materials or complementing ones, your home will remain tastefully appealing on the inside and out. It is never a good idea to go with bold, eccentric colors schemes if you are planning to resell your home. Remaining neutral and conservative gives the home buyer the creative freedom to integrate their own style without having to redo everything that has been done. Remaining neutral will benefit you when it comes time to sell.
Lastly, the best advice is to make the remodel that makes you the most happy, without having dollar signs in your mind the whole time. If you want a deck built or a basement remodeled, do so and enjoy every inch of it. The truth is that your return on investment can vary greatly depending on several factors so you can never really be sure what you are getting yourself into. It depends on the economy and the real estate market in your area, as well as other factors. Bottom line, it is better to do what is best for your living experience because your remodeling return could be more or less than you expect when it comes time to sell.
