When Is It Time to Hire a Professional for a Building Extension?

 One of the great things about owning your own home is that you can make all the changes you want to the house and the property. Unlike when you were a renter, and the landlord wouldn’t even let you change the paint colour in a room, your home is now a blank canvas for your creativity. You can imagine any improvements, and as long as you have the budget, you can make your dreams come true. Another plus related to being a homeowner versus a renter is that you can begin to perfect your do-it-yourself (DIY) and home repair skills. It is easiest if you first tackle small repairs and projects, and then as you progress you can take on slightly bigger tasks. Some things may be new to you, but if you need more information about what to do you will find excellent online resources available with the tap of a screen. You can certainly save money on the projects you do yourself, but there are some major upgrades where it is best to hire a professional. Building an extension is one of those upg

Smart Home Renovations: Integrating Technology into Your Living Space

 The saying that our home is our castle has been around for nearly four centuries. It was true when it first came into being, and is even more true now. During the pandemic, our home became our place of safety. We lived there, worked from there and the kids attended school there too. While restrictions have lifted post-pandemic, our homes are still our refuge in the midst of an ever-changing world. The introduction of smart home technologies has brought new capabilities to our castle abode. Now we have camera doorbells, which track package deliveries and show us who has come calling at our door.

Creating Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Transitions in House Extensions

When we think of what we would like that home to be and look like, our minds often take flights of fancy and we truly start to dream.

Adding More Room: Creative Ways to Increase the Space in Your Beautiful Home

  For many of us, buying our home was one of the most important events in our life. We dreamed of the perfect place where we’d like to live, discussed the different home styles and attended open houses to see what choices were out there. Picking the right neighbourhood also took some work, as we debated the pros and cons of each area that intrigued us. If kids were in the picture, or perhaps coming in the future, we also found ourselves making sure the area had really good schools. Along the way, we probably also had to make a few carefully considered compromises. Often, our desires exceed our budget so it’s quite possible we had to purchase a smaller home than we would have liked, or maybe choose a less trendy neighbourhood. All the hard work was worth it, though, when we had that special moment when we received the keys to our new home. Dramatically Expand the Living Space in Your Home When you move into a home, it often feels like you have all that you need. Yet, after a cou
