Should we Move or Improve?

Many of our clients struggle with the decision, “Should I move or improve?” It’s hard to know the potential of your home, what it might cost, and compare that to new or existing homes for sale. Most families love the neighborhood they live in and they don’t want to move, so a home renovation is likely the best option. But what about cost? Move or Improve includes a 60 to 90 minute meeting at your home to discuss ideas and concepts, and a professional recommendation of scope and budget range. We will also provide details of the Kopke Remodeling & Design process and the next steps should you decide to improve your existing home. $0.00 due at time of first meeting.

Full Home Assessment

You’ve decided you are NOT moving under any circumstances, but you have no idea how to approach a major home renovation project. How do you approach a bank or other financing institution? Should you build an addition, add a second floor, add a garage and or finish the basement? What will all this cost and what makes sense to invest in your home, based on similar homes in the neighborhood? Do you hire an architect and then find a contractor and hope for the best on budget, or do we collaborate with a design build firm? The experts at Kopke Remodeling & Design can help you with all of this. Full Home Assessment includes a 60 to 90 minute meeting at your home to discuss ideas and concepts, and a professional recommendation of scope and budget range. We will also provide details of the Kopke Remodeling & Design Build process and next the steps to help you prepare for your project.

Feasibility Study with Sketches & Budget

Kopke Remodeling & Design will conduct an on-site meeting to assess the possibilities of expanding and/or remodeling your home and sketch out a rough plan as a starting point for budget development.

Property or Land Assessment

Insurance Quotes

If you’ve experienced a flood, fire, or other home damage, you’ll be dealing with your insurance company—a potentially unpleasant experience. Your insurance company will generally provide a price to return your home to the state it was in before the damage, and it’s usually too low. You may opt to hire a professional independent adjuster and often we recommend this. In addition, however, you’ll want a professionally written scope of work and quote from a reputable contractor. An insurance quote includes a thorough home assessment, review of your insurance company’s scope and budget, and a professional written scope and budget to complete the project. Fees range from $250.00 to $750.00 depending on the size and scope of the project.
