Construction and Remodeling company that services both Commercial and Residential customers. We are licensed and insured.
"Our house addition project has been 3 years in the making. Not by choice! We have met with right around 10 contractors through this process. Not just messages or phone conversations, but met directly. Some of these companies never got back to us and some were just astronomical regarding pricing. In the end, we met these professionals, Magic Designs, and had an AMAZING experience working with their team. Communication was spot on, with constant updates that were concise. If I had a question, they were on it and very responsive. Their crews were professional and conducted high quality work. They worked on our project consistently 5 days a week and 7 days a week if and when needed. The final product, AMAZING! These professionals delivered a great product and did it at the exact calculated time. "

"We couldn't be happier with our new 4-season sunroom, and we can't say enough about the people at Better Living Patio Rooms! We've had a lot of work done at our house over the years, but the crew from Better Living stands above the rest. Once the project began, work continued - without pause - until it was completed. From Anthony in sales, Mike in project management, Michelle and Jenn in the office, and Frank and Justin (who did the work), they were professional, detail-oriented, and friendly. I highly recommend Better Living. Brian in McCandless."

Start by asking a local contractor, architect, or interior designer for a detailed line‑item estimate. These pros can price out labor, materials, permits, and any specialty work, then flag areas where you can save. Once you have that breakdown, add 20% to the total to cover potential surprises, such as hidden water damage or code upgrades. This approach gives you a realistic budget before the first hammer swings.
In most cases, remodeling wins on price. Because you’re reusing the existing structure, you avoid foundation work, framing an entire shell, and many permit fees. Unless the home has severe structural problems, updating what you already own is the more budget‑friendly route than building an entirely new house from scratch.
Home renovation timelines hinge on scope. Cosmetic updates—such as new paint, fixtures, or flooring—can be completed in a few days or weeks. A multi-room gut renovation that involves moving walls or utilities can stretch to six months, and adding square footage can push the schedule past a year. Good planning and a clear contractor schedule help keep projects on track, so be sure to build extra time into the calendar for permit reviews and unforeseen repairs.
Before your home renovation work begins, contact your insurance agent to confirm that your current policy covers the project. Standard homeowners insurance usually protects against fire or storm damage during construction, but bigger upgrades—adding square footage, high‑end finishes, or new systems—can raise your home’s value beyond existing limits. If coverage falls short, ask about a renovation rider or a policy increase so you’re fully protected from day one to final walkthrough.
