PermittingSeeking advice on your particular home, neighborhood, current expansion plans of that local area and infrastructure are just as important on evaluating what type of renovations you want to do. Having a real estate expert by your side like Collette McDonald (BIO LINK) with over 15 years of helping clients decide if renovating or selling is right for their families needs is step one. Contact Collette for a FREE consultation to evaluate your home, your needs, and your neighborhood to discuss what is best regarding home remodeling based on your current situation. Collette knows the Atlanta market – her specialty areas are Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Chamblee, Sandy Springs, Decatur and Buckhead and she knows what each niche market will either embrace or hate and that is CRITICAL to any home improvement project if you’re looking for a return on investment down the road when you eventually decide to sell.

No matter how hard you plan, obstacles do come up and you need to be able to know how to handle them properly. Hiring professional contractors and vendors with excellent references, knowing your type of home and the benefits and pitfalls of it to help you through the steps and details is paramount to staying within budget and within timelines. Choosing the wrong home improvements OR the wrong contractor can be like throwing money away, as well as your sanity if you don’t do your research and hire right!
