T

Whomever you choose, always check your contractor's references and verify that they are a member in good standing of the Greater Houston Builders Association. Founded in 1941, the Greater Houston Builders Association is one of the oldest builders and remodelers associations in the country. The Association represents more than 1,500 member companies. At the current rate of building, the industry generated over $6.2 billion to the local economy and created 114,000 jobs in 2014. The Remodelers Council sponsors one or more charitable projects each year. Past Council charity projects have included SIRE Therapeutic Equestrian Center, ECHOS Community Center, Jacquelyn House, Open Door Mission, Habitat for Humanity and The SonRise Shelter. The Association is also active in community and charitable events. Each year members contribute property, materials and labor for our Benefit Homes Project, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. The majority of the proceeds benefit the Texas Children's Hospital, the Alzheimer's Association and HomeAid Houston. Close to $9 million has been raised since the program began. Operation Finally Home was established in 2005 as a non-partisan/non-profit organization by the Bay Area Builders Association, a division of GHBA. The mission is to provide custom homes to wounded and disabled veterans and the widows of the fallen. These homes help our veterans and their families to get their lives back on track and become productive members of their communities. We hope your remodeling experience is a positive one and your project is everything you hoped it would be.

This stunning Bellaire outdoor space built by Legal Eagle Contractors and designed by My Design Team, is an addition that creates inviting, shaded seating and a full outdoor kitchen. The gentle arches in the new limestone walls mirror the arches that were part of the original architecture. The slate floor and the stained pine ceiling adds warmth, as does the 60,000 BTU stone fireplace. Spiral stairs lead to a new, private balcony retreat off the master suite.

CHECK

CREDENTIALS What to ask before you begin your remodeling project

I

f you’re planning a home remodel, hire a professional remodeler with excellent credentials. According to the Greater Houston Builders Association, the best remodeling results are achieved when qualified remodelers do the work. Ask about these credentials when hiring a professional remodeler:

as Certified Graduate Remodeler, Graduate Master Remodeler, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, Certified Green Professional and more. These remodelers have invested in continuing education and professional development to keep their remodeling and business skills sharp and better serve their customers.

1. Insurance

Many successful remodelers are members of trade associations like the Greater Houston Builders Association — because it offers business resources and continuing education. Membership also provides opportunity for professional growth and expanding knowledge of the remodeling industry.

All professional home remodelers should be insured and able to display a certificate proving possession of insurance. Insurance helps to demonstrate that the remodeling firm is in good standing.

2. Professional Designations The most skilled professional remodelers not only have experience on the job, but education. This may include designations such

3. Association Membership

4. Business Skills Experienced remodelers know how to manage their business, which provides sta-

bility and security for their customers. These professionals will provide a written contract for a home remodeling job, as well as guarantees and warranties for their work. Another important sign of honest business practices from a remodeler is outlining a clear payment schedule and not requiring large amounts of cash up front. Professional remodelers should also have a good reputation with the Better Business Bureau and a good credit report, indicating solid business operations. Conduct thorough research when hiring a professional home remodeler so that you hire someone with good credentials. Verifying smart business practices and remodeling expertise will better ensure that your home remodel will be completed successfully.

REMODELING TERMINOLOGY

Understanding the terminology will help get the results you want

W

hether it’s a small cosmetic remodel such as replacing bathroom fixtures, or a major down-tothe-wall-studs overhaul of your kitchen or adding new space to your home, understanding the terminology your professional remodeler is using can be very helpful to ensure you get the finished project you want. As you interview potential contractors, this glossary of common terms used by builders and remodelers will help you understand the language of your remodeling project — and help you avoid miscommunication with your contractor.

The transformation was accomplished with updates and upgrades, which included new appliances from Ferguson, new fixtures from Lighting Inc. and new paint from Sherwin Williams. The translucent green glass tiles at the backsplash display a variety of color shades depending on time of day or intensity of lighting.

Change Order: This is written authorization to the contractor to make a change or addition to the work described in the original contract. The change order should reflect any changes in cost. Cost-plus Contract: A contract between a contractor and homeowner that is based on the accrued cost of labor and materials plus a percentage for profit and overhead — also known as a time-andmaterials contract. Draw: A designated payment that is "drawn" from the total project budget to pay for services completed to date. A draw schedule is typically established in the contract. Lien Release: A document that voids the legal right of a contractor, subcontractor or supplier to place a lien against your property. A lien release assures you that the remodeler has paid subcontractors and suppliers in full for labor and materials. Mechanic’s Lien: A lien obtained by an unpaid subcontractor or supplier through the courts. When enforced, real property — such as your home — can be sold to pay the subcontractor or supplier. If a subcontractor or supplier signed a lien release, then this lien cannot be enforced. Plans and Specifications: These are drawings for the project, and a detailed list or description of the known products, materials, quantities and finishes to be used. Punch List: A list of work items to be completed or corrected by the contractor, typically near or at the end of a project. Subcontractor: A person or company hired directly by the contractor to perform specialized work at the job site — sometimes referred to as a trade contractor.

W

hy remodel? Remodeling your home can modernize the style, make it more comfortable, improve energy-efficiency and home functionality, increase the value of your home, and help with upkeep and maintenance. Home remodeling is a sure investment in your home to ensure longevity, usefulness, and home value.

When is it time to remodel? The reasons for home remodeling are as varied as the projects we undertake. Some of these include: •Adding more space. •Upgrading cabinets, counters, appliances, and fixtures. •Creating a floor plan that's customized for your lifestyle. •Improving energy efficiency with new windows, doors, insulation, and climate control systems. •Increasing the resale value of your home. What are some home remodeling ideas? Before you head too far down the remodeling path, it's a good idea to think through your wants and needs: •Decide what changes you want to make. •Ask yourself and other family members what you like and dislike about the house, then create a prioritized list. •Look at magazines and collect pictures of what appeals to you. This stunning bathroom, by Remodeling Concepts and Lynne T. Jones, ASID, was remodeled because the clients preferred a more contemporary, clean-line style. LED cove and under cabinet lighting was added along with stained and louvered doors.

How do I plan a home remodel? The first step is to develop an idea of what you want to do. Write a prioritized list of your needs and wants. The more clearly you can envision the project and describe it on paper, the better prepared you'll be in making your decision. Think about traffic patterns, furniture size and placement, colors, lighting and how you expect to use the remodeled space, now and in the future. If your decision to remodel involves creating better access for someone with limited mobility, you may want to consider contacting a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist. Figure out how much money you have to spend on the remodeling job, furnishings, landscaping or any other cost you might incur. If you’ve decided you want to hire a remodeler, learn how to choose a professional, avoid contractor fraud, and make your dream home reality.

SERVING HOUSTONIANS FOR YEARS

How do I pay for a home remodel? One of the most important considerations for your home improvement project is financing. After all, the project will go nowhere if you can't pay for it. Fortunately, there are several options that can provide the dollars you need. Four of the most common are a home improvement loan, a home equity line of credit, a home equity loan (second mortgage), and a cash-out refinancing of your current mortgage. However, the simplest method of financing is cash. How do I find a professional home remodeler? When you hire a remodeler, you are buying a service rather than a product. The quality of service the home remodeler provides will determine the quality of the finished product and your satisfaction with the result. To ensure your satisfaction, make sure you hire a qualified, professional remodeler from the Greater Houston Builders Association. What should I expect during the remodel? While remodeling can be an exciting process, it can also present unexpected challenges. Many problems can be avoided by planning ahead. Owners of homes built before 1978 who are contemplating any work that will disturb more than six square feet of painted surfaces inside the home or 20 square feet on the exterior of the home — for example, replacing a window, installing cabinets, or adding on to the home — are required by law to hire a contractor trained and certified by the EPA.

HOW TO LIVE THROUGH YOUR REMODELING PROJECT

30 HOUSTON REMODELING GUIDE GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION


A checklist to save your sanity when your home is a worksite

R

emodeling your home is uniquely different from building a new one. With remodeling,

your home becomes the worksite. You live side by side with the project from start to finish. Once construction begins, you'll probably long for simple pleasures like a dust-free home or a fully functioning kitchen or bath. But the end result will be well worth these inconveniences. The Pre-Construction Meeting One way to ensure the success of your project is to plan for and actively participate in a pre-construction meeting. This allows your remodeler to clarify procedures and explain how the job will progress. It also offers both you and your remodeler an opportunity to prepare for those issues that may arise later. You should think of this meeting as a forum for all participants to define their expectations and agree on the anticipated outcome. Some of the issues you may wish to cover at this meeting include: •Will you allow your remodeler to place a company sign on your property? Remember that, in addition to being a marketing tool,

signs help contractors and suppliers locate your home. •What areas of your home will be

Keechi Creek Builders expanded this master bedroom closet to include a former study. Using walnut wood, a crystal chandelier, custom made cabinets and shelves, the space was designed to accommodate his-and-hers wardrobes and an island with specialized storage for jewelry and more. It is wired for sound and television, and includes other luxury touches such as a marble island top, and storage from floor to ceiling. The functional floor plan allows for multiple people, easy access and seating. The existing windows were kept to provide for natural lighting.

(Bottom left) Keechi Creek Builders utilized multiple work stations and pass-throughs in this kitchen remodel to provide easy access to tools and appliances.

REMODEL NOW TO IMPROVE HOME VALUE.

Perhaps it was that moment you realized that hunter green and harvest gold are no longer the “in” colors for today’s trendy kitchens that you thought about remodeling. Replacing cabinets, fixtures, repainting and installing new countertops all help to update your home for a contemporary look.

Adding a deck, expanding your kitchen, remodeling to open the floor plan, and many other projects can increase the value of your home. Smart remodels enhance your greatest investment— your home. Some of the best value-adding remodels are the least invasive, such as replacing siding or adding a small bath.

REMODEL NOW FOR HOME PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE.

4

REMODEL NOW WHILE INTEREST RATES ARE LOW.

Replace siding to fix drafts or repair the roof to stop leaks. Savvy home maintenance ranges from replacing the HVAC system to improve heating and cooling to fixing plumbing. Consistent home maintenance raises the value of your home, but even more importantly it keeps your home functional and comfortable.

Interest rates are still low. For homeowners with good credit and accumulated home equity, now is the perfect time to invest in home remodeling projects. Don’t postpone necessary repairs or desired remodeling because you could miss out on this window of opportunity.


5

REMODEL NOW TO ENJOY OUTDOOR LIVING AND ENTERTAINING.

Expand the capacity of your home by adding a deck, patio or other outdoor living space. You’ll have more room to entertain friends and be able to enjoy outdoor relaxation while in the comfort of your home.

8

REMODEL NOW TO ENJOY THE KITCHEN OF YOUR DREAMS.

Installing a new stove, replacing countertops or replacing your refrigerator can improve the function of your kitchen. Widely considered the heart of the home and where most people gather and spend time together, creating the right feel for your kitchen is essential. Remodelers also can help improve work flow in your kitchen with more open spaces and strategic placement of appliances.

REMODEL NOW TO ENHANCE CURB APPEAL.

Home improvement projects help maintain and increase the value of your home. But considering the external appearance of your home is also important in improving the value and sales potential. New siding, fresh paint, clean gutters, neat landscaping and an intact roof enhance the curb appeal of your home.

7

REMODEL NOW TO SAVE MONEY BY IMPROVING ENERGY-EFFICIENCY.

A home can be considered green when energy efficiency, water and resource conservation, the use of sustainable or recycled products, and indoor air quality considerations are incorporated into the process of home remodeling. Professional remodelers increasingly incorporate energy-efficiency and long-life products into their business.

This kitchen renovation by GB General Contractors, with interior design by By Design Interiors, reflects a distinctly European style. Custom cabinets with matching refrigerator and subway tile are a subtle backdrop to the showstopping granite countertop and island in Stonewood by Lackstone. Dramatic overhead and undercounter lighting accentuate the beauty of the unique design.

REMODEL NOW TO ENJOY A LUXURIOUS BATHROOM.

The bathroom is a place to get away, relax and pamper oneself. Beyond daily grooming, bathrooms reinvigorate with spa bathtubs, massaging showers, vanities and other amenities. Create the refuge you need at the end of a busy day. Just adding new cabinets, sink, flooring or tub can revitalize the bathroom and make it a quiet refuge for pampering. A NAHB analysis of data from the American Housing Survey found that adding a half bath can increase home value 10.5 percent and a full bath contributes 20 percent to home value.

10

REMODEL NOW TO AGE-IN-PLACE OR INCORPORATE UNIVERSAL DESIGN FEATURES.

Bringing in a remodeler experienced with universal design can greatly improve your home for accessibility. If your aging-inplace, recently acquired a disability, or just want a home easier to maneuver in, a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) can assess your home and remodel according to your specific needs. A CAPS remodeler can also help make your home visitable, so that an aging relative or friend with a disability can visit your home on the first floor.

REMODELING TRENDS:

GIVE NEW LIFE TO THE HEART OF YOUR HOME Literally think outside the box when it’s time to resuscitate the kitchen

T

here are many good reasons to consider renovating the kitchen in your home. Updates can add beauty, create extra storage, enhance ergonomics for home chefs and result in a higher resale value. Gonzalo Garcia, president of JRG Builder & Remodelers, said homeowners are attempting to dress up their kitchens by adding higher-end finishes and custom touches, such as more elaborate backsplashes, LED light fixtures and glass-front cabinets. Tom Pellegrin, president of Third Coast Builders, agreed, saying that updating a custom finish can make a world of difference. “Homeowners are also asking for upgrades to cabinets that might have been original to the home,” he said. “Almost everyone wants the soft-close feature on drawers and doors. Solid-wood drawer boxes with dovetail construction are also popular choices.” Updating the kitchen often requires literally thinking outside the box by opening up new space, he said. “Kitchens are getting larger and more central to the home. In remodeling, we are constantly looking for space to expand the old 10-foot by 12-foot kitchen. Sometimes this can be done by moving walls, and other times it involves adding space to the home.” In addition to making kitchens more spacious, other popular improvements include: • Investing in appliances. A new stove or refrigerator can be more than just appealing to the eye – updating appliances

Premier Remodeling updated this kitchen to accommodate the owner’s request for a larger space. The large island features a trough sink which can be used to ice down drinks during parties and family get-togethers. Thermador and U-line appliances and Kohler fixtures from Ferguson; Brookhaven cabinets from Cabinets and Designs, Inc.; Countertops by Stone Evolution; Backsplash tile by Daltile; and antique light fixtures.

might also save money on the next energy bill. “The appliances in homes these days are definitely higher end with a more professional look. It is not uncommon to see a dual-fuel range, or gas cooktop with an electric oven,” Pellegrin said, adding that high-end options now exist in smaller sizes. “Even a small kitchen can look like a larger space with the addition of these newer appliances.” • Making it multifunctional. Since kitchens have become central spaces for most families, the room often provides double duty. “Clients often want their kitchens to serve as a multifunctional entity,” Garcia said. “First it must be efficient, but it also can serve as an attractive place to socialize with family or friends. The last two grand kitchens I designed and built included a cozy area off to the side where the homeowners can entertain one or two guests.” Larry Abbott, with Abbott Contracting, agrees that kitchens have become an important place for socializing. As a result, homeowners are looking for more open space, with several entry and exit points. “Everyone still entertains and gathers in the kitchen,” he said. “Islands and peninsulas are built big to accommodate more guests, especially when having a party – the more bar stools, the better.” • Saving room for food. Abbott said that while kitchens may double as the gathering spot during a party, the space still must accommodate its primary function of preparing food in the most efficient way possible. “My clients want big-apron farm sinks and a lot of counter space to work on,” he said. “They want to add more space for preparing foods and for drink glasses during parties.” In fact, Abbott said that some of his customers have wanted to move the wine cooler out of the kitchen to another location to make more space for utensil cabinets, spoon drawers and dish dividers. • Asking for a helping hand. Renovating a kitchen can be a challenge – and with so many options for creating a better space, it is important to work with a professional.

In this townhome kitchen remodel, Greymark Construction opened a wall and removed a column to give this client more space and more light. Formerly dark and dated, now the kitchen area is modern and inviting. Entertaining is easy and fun with details like the Absolute Black granite, stainless appliances and custom site-built stained maple cabinets.

REMODELING TRENDS:

BATHROOMS

CREATE YOUR IN-HOME RETREAT Give your bathroom the spa makeover

B

athroom trends in 2015 are about designing simple, usable spaces that provide a relaxing retreat. Achieving that “spa” look during a bathroom remodel begins with selecting a neutral color floor to make the space feel larger. Top choices include ceramic and porcelain tiles that are water and slip rated for use in the bathroom. In addition, consider incorporating a designer touch by creating a “rug” using mosaic tiles on the center of the floor or under a free standing tub. Large walk-in showers continue to rank as one of the most popular remodel requests and frameless shower doors are making a statement with the modern look they bring to a space. Including a variety of rain and shower heads or jets into the design will enhance the spa retreat feel, and built-in benches and niches make the space more functional. Other luxury enhancements to consider include chromotherapy LED color-changing showerheads and built-in waterproof speakers. Custom tile work is being seen more than ever before in the bathroom — from the shower to the backsplash and the floor — utilizing different sizes and types of tile. Luxurious tubs, from well-insulated stone tubs to trendy freestanding or whirlpool tubs, continue to be part of many bathroom remodels. A modernized clawfoot tub with plumbing coming out of the floor is an idea for those who want a modern take on a vintage style. There are also many options available to enhance a bath experience such as a negative edge tub or tubs equipped with technology to change the color of bath water, vibrate, or include an iPod dock. Bathroom cabinetry that looks like furniture is very popular as well as double vanities and undermount sinks with drawers to maximize storage. Glass shelves, which can be used as a display area or to house towels, can make a space seem more open. Granite is still a popular countertop choice; however, quartz composites are gaining

HOUSTON REMODELING GUIDE GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION


KATHLEEN RYAN

REMODELING TRENDS:

BATHROOMS favor with their ease of maintenance. Faucets and hardware in polished chrome are the most requested finish. Tile backsplashes include everything from the “in� look of glass mosaics to ceramic and porcelain tiles. With the trend of two sinks in the bathroom on the rise, homeowners also want two mirrors overhead framed in wood or metal to give the look of a picture on a wall. Another very hot option is to install a mirror TV in the bathroom. When the TV is turned off it looks like a mirror but, with the touch of a button, turns into a TV. In terms of colors, nature-inspired neutral tones and patterns are big, with a continued emphasis on creams, beiges, browns and greys. Bright colors should be used as an accent. Adding a larger or new window to bring in more natural light is popular, or creating a layered lighting effect with wall sconces or an overhead chandelier for the best mix of functional and ambient lighting. The idea of going green is also finding its way into many bathroom remodels with the installation of low-flow and dual flush toilets and eco-friendly bath fixtures including faucets and shower heads. Streamlined designs are also in demand, with wall-mounted toilets and simplified fixtures expected to make a statement. Universal Design details, which include complete shower access, handheld shower heads, bench seats, grab bars, and well designed roll-under sinks, are other special features being included in many bathroom updates.

Greymark Construction remodeled this bathroom achieving the spa-like aesthetic. Selecting a neutral colored floor, paint, cabinets and countertops makes the space feel larger. The glamorous mirrors lend a luxurious feel to the space.

omes today are no longer confined to the traditional bedrooms, dining areas, living rooms and kitchens. In many, a space may be reserved for any purpose — resulting in special-function, multi-purpose rooms that are dedicated to certain activities.

Home Office Put your walls to work in a home office by installing floating shelves or wall-mounted baskets. Topping the list for homeowners is a wall of built-in bookshelves or shelves wrapped around the room to create a functional and high-end custom look. Consider adding bins or baskets to a bookshelf to store items out of sight for a clutter-free look. Ample work surfaces are critical to a home office. Use space wisely by installing shelves above the desk and cabinets below the work surface. Homeowners who are lacking space can even convert a closet into an office by removing the closet doors and painting or wallpapering the interior. Add a desk and hang shelves along the wall to complete the space. Be sure to plan for adequate outlets to accommodate computers, printers, phones and task lighting. A baseboard chase can be used to eliminate the unsightly clutter of wires and cables. In addition, layered lighting — including natural light, compact fluorescent lamps, and task lighting — is the preferred combination for a home office. Mudroom A mudroom is the perfect transition area between the garage and actual home space. Because this space serves as the “home hub,” consider equipping it with non-slip flooring and a combi-

nation of shelves and cubbies to store clothes, shoes or outdoor items. Two of the most practical features to include are a bench and built-in shelving with storage hooks. Other big trends include cabinets above the washer and dryer as well as a large, deep sink with a storage cabinet and fold-up counter. A hanging rod above the sink is also on the must-have list. A countertop can provide a great work space to fold clothes and is the perfect area to include extra outlets for a charging station. Media Room A media room is no longer about a single flat screen TV on the wall. The new approach includes the use of dual and multiple screens in this space. While the idea of “theater” seating with flip-up seats and cup holders is still in demand, many families are opting for multiple furniture pieces that can be arranged into a variety of conversational spaces. Another important aspect to take into account is how to hide the technology in this high-tech room. Small wireless speakers that seamlessly integrate technology without disturbing the décor and character of the room are highly popular. More consumers are opting for streaming video; however, DVD and Blu-Ray players are still in use. In addition to state-of-the-art digital surround sound systems, there is a growing trend to use wood paneling to provide an acoustic edge. In terms of lighting, dimmed lighting is often installed to imitate that of a theater and fiber optic “star” ceilings can add a final touch.

Tips for building functional and fun outdoor living spaces

H

omeowners who are thinking about a home makeover but don’t know where to begin should consider starting in the back yard. Many homeowners are transforming the exteriors of their houses to add extra living space and, with a little finesse, those outdoor spaces can rival the interiors. “Outdoor kitchens just kind of exploded over the past five years,” said Stephen McNiel, founder of Creative Property Restoration Inc. “People used to just have a Weber grill. Now they are putting in an entire kitchen,” he said. “In Houston, you can be outside from October to June, and people want to take advantage of the weather.” But that’s just the beginning. Kenneth Charanza, president of Charanza Contracting Inc., has also seen a rise in outdoor renovations. “It extends your house,” he said. “You can take the indoors out. Your backyard becomes another great entertainment area.” Among the ways builders recommend improving outdoor space: • Stay in the shade. In Houston, shade structures, or even ceiling fans are essential. “People can utilize outdoor space year-round,” Charanza said. “But if you don’t have any cover, you’re stuck with scorching Houston heat.” • Lighten up. Good lighting makes outdoor living spaces safer and extends the use of a deck or lawn into the evening. “LEDs are transforming the lighting industry,” McNiel said. • Fire up the grill. Charanza and McNiel both report that many homeowners are adding refrigerators, sinks, pizza ovens, counter space and even bars. Commercial-grade grills, stainless steel cabinets and granite countertops are high on homeowners’ wish lists. • Just add water. Water features are also popular, McNiel said, creating a beautiful ambiance when you are sitting outside.

Outdoor kitchen addition from Steve Hood Company Builders takes center stage with a clear cypress center match ceiling from Texas Architectural Timbers. Other features include an indoor grill from American Outdoor, stonework and a fireplace. Custom copper wall panels from David Alverez Sheet Metal.

This renovation by Texas Custom Patio reflects a rustic outdoor design that utilizes exposed beams, stone, Spanish roof tiles and a fire pit to create a warm, inviting ambiance.

“Especially in the Inner Loop, a water feature can become the focal point of a small space.” • Gather ’round the fire. “People are adding outdoor seating areas around a fire,” Charanza said. Gas logs are a popular option. They can be turned on with a switch and require less maintenance. • Make it more entertaining. Entertainment systems added to outdoor living space can include big-screen televisions and sound systems that range from small and budget-friendly to extraordinary and pricey, the builders said. Adding unique features to an outdoor space can improve property value. “People are seeing a finished entertainment space, instead of just a lawn full of grass,” McNiel said. “And if you have a small house, you can really extend your space. You’re creating something you can use for years.”

Actual Remodel

A PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

3D modeling saves time and money by making it simpler for clients to make decisions quickly based on how their project will look and function in real life.

A

re you planning to invest time and money in improving and updating your home? Perhaps you are thinking about remodeling your kitchen or your master bath, adding a covered outdoor kitchen, or even a second floor. If so, you can save time and money by working with a design/build remodeler who uses 3D modeling to develop building plans. Over the past few years, many building design professionals have begun using 3D software to draw plans electronically. Of course paper and pencils are often used to make very rough sketches in the earliest phase of the design process when the designer first interviews the client. After that first meeting, though, the plan is drawn to scale with a computer, working first on a floor plan, then on details including roof lines, wall locations, surface finishes, cabinet layouts, even moldings. During

the design/plan phase of a project this 3D model is used to facilitate communication, making it possible to visualize and explore various possibilities for the project. When the plan is a remodel, the existing house is often drawn first, and then the plan is modified to reflect the proposed changes to the home. This allows the contractor to help the homeowner imagine the finished project even before the first shovel breaks the soil. After the first meeting, once the designer has developed a workable plan, it is shown to the homeowner. Because the plan was modeled in 3D on a computer, this often doesn't happen with the familiar rolled blueprint format. Computer-savvy homeowners may work from home with the design professional in an online meeting, where they view the plan online, look at 3D images of interior and exterior views from many angles, and checking out the

64 HOUSTON REMODELING GUIDE GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

overall footprint. Some designers even make changes to the plan “on the fly.” The designer and client may also meet in person at the designer’s place of business. Like the online meeting, the client is presented with “bird’s eye” and other 3D perspectives of the plan; however these are viewed on a big screen TV connected to the computer. The demonstration is “up close and personal” with many modifications made and approved or rejected right on the spot. This interactive process speeds up the design process and makes the homeowner much more involved in the project Sometimes a mini layout, a smaller version of a blueprint, might be emailed to a client in a printable PDF format. The layout could include traditional floor plans and elevations, interior and exterior, but adds colorful 3D images (like photographs) of the proposed plan, showing

views from various angles, as well as surface finishes of walls, floors, cabinets, etc. The owner then contacts the designer with their evaluation of the plan — usually by phone or email. Regardless of the type of plan review, once changes are made and the plan is complete, the builder/remodeler now has an accurate model for preparing the esti-

When the job is approved, blueprints for permitting and construction purposes are created using the same software. 3D modeling saves time and money by making it simpler for clients to make decisions quickly based on how their project will look and function in real life. The contractor also benefits from the accuracy of a 3D model — it is easier to estimate a job and keep costs in line when a project is finalized before the ground is broken. When a home improvement project is modeled in 3D, the benefit to the client is clear: ideas are communicated clearly and effectively. That old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is especially true when using a 3D model to visualize a new home or a revitalized existing home.

WHAT IS

UNIVERSAL DESIGN? Having universal design features and products in a home prevents accidents, increases comfort and safety, and enhances residents' independence. 66 HOUSTON REMODELING GUIDE GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION


U

niversal design is about creating a home for everyone, regardless of age, size, or ability. Universal design’s features and products make a home safer and more comfortable for a wide range of people. And, as the name implies, universal design fits everyone and every lifestyle including:

Entertain Outdoors

• Families with young children • Older adults who want to stay in their home as they grow older • People who are taller or shorter than average • People who have limited mobility or dexterity • People with a permanent or temporary disability Universal Design Features Checklist Universal design features are those components of a home that work well for all residents and any guests who may visit. They just make good sense. Having universal design features and products in a home prevents accidents, increases comfort and safety, and enhances residents' independence. Essential universal design features include: • At least one no-step entry to the house either through the front, back, or garage door. • Entryway doors that are at least 32 inches wide and interior doors at least 30 inches wide to allow for ample room to pass through. • Light controls, electrical outlets, and thermostats that are easily reachable for a person in a wheelchair. • A 3-foot-wide corridor, free of hazards and steps that connects all rooms on the main floor. In this bathroom remodel, Legal Eagle Contractors utilized several universal design features. The clients now enjoy an electric towel warmer, a wide door walk-in shower with a hand-held shower head on a slide bar for a standing or seated user. Varying countertop heights offer roll-under knee space, and twin sinks feature two-sided pull-outs and tilting mirrors for seated users. To prevent slips and falls, there are contrasting colors at shower entry and at niches, and non-slip, large format tile with minimized grout lines. Plenty of glass provides natural, full spectrum day-lighting.

REMODELING GREEN

Green improvements make older homes competitive with new models

R

emodelers of single family homes show a commitment to building green. According to the 2014 SmartMarket Report by McGraw Hill Constructions, nearly half of the respondents (49 percent) are remodeling projects that are moderately committed to green, 9 percent report that they are dedicated green remodelers with over 90 percent of their projects considered green and 79 percent of single family remodelers report that their customers will pay more for a green remodeling project. A few of the factors that are driving consumers to request green building are the overall health benefits of high indoor air quality, energy and water efficiency as well as conservation of natural resources. These factors are particularly attractive for older homes seeking to be more competitive with newer homes, where green

and high efficiency is standard. There are many updates and changes that will make an existing home more efficient, healthier and more durable. NAHB Remodelers offers the following suggestions to homeowners who want to increase their home’s efficiency, decrease costs, and take advantage of the other benefits that green offers: 1. Install maximum insulation. Forty percent of the energy consumed in a typical house goes to heating and cooling. Adding insulation is an easy way to increase efficiency. Insulation is rated by its ability to resist heat flow, known as “R-value.” The higher the Rvalue, the more effectively the insulation resists heat flow. Adding insulation will help save energy costs, increase comfort by better controlling temperature, and improve indoor air quality by elim-

70 HOUSTON REMODELING GUIDE GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

inating gaps through which dirt, dust, and other impurities can enter. 2. Install high-efficiency windows. Ordinary window glass transmits ultraviolet heat rays from the sun, which can increase your air conditioning bill dramatically. ENERGY STAR windows can help control this effect. These windows may have two or more panes of glass, warm-edge spacers between the panes, improved framing materials, and microscopically thin metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on windows to reduce radiative heat flow. 3. Seal exterior penetrations. You can reduce cold air drafts and heat loss by inspecting your home from the inside and outside and plugging cracks or openings. Be sure to check the areas where window frames


meet the structure or siding of the house. Use caulking to seal small cracks on nonmoving surfaces and install weather stripping on windows, doors and other movable parts of the home. 4. Purchase ENERGY STAR-rated appliances. ENERGY STAR -rated appliances, ranging from dishwashers and refrigerators to computers and televisions, meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy. Qualified refrigerators, dishwashers and vent fans incorporate advanced technologies that use 10 to 50 percent less energy and water than standard models, more than making up for the slightly higher cost of these products. 5. Install low-flow water plumbing fixtures. In the average home, flushing toilets accounts for some 30 percent of water usage. By using low-flow plumbing fixtures such as toilets, faucet aerators and showerheads, you can save up to 25 percent of that water compared to conventional fixtures while providing the same utility. 6. Upgrade to an ENERGY STAR-rated or tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand at a preset temperature rather than storing it. Replacing an electric water heater with a solar model can reduce costs by up to 80 percent a year. Over its 20-year lifespan a solar heater will prevent more than 50 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. A low-cost option is to wrap insulation around your heater, which can reduce standby heat loss by 25 to 45 percent. 7. Purchase the highest efficiency HVAC system you can afford. Over a 10-year period, the average home owner spends more than $10,000 for heating and cooling. Installing high efficiency HVAC equipment can reduce costs on average by 10 to 30 percent over minimum efficiency equipment. It also can improve home comfort with better heating and cooling and a quieter operation, and often features higher quality components that result in longer equipment life.

PROTECT PROPERTY AND FAMILY DURING A STORM

Remodelers Council members offer tips to keep homes safe

C

an your home withstand hurricaneforce winds and swirling debris? Members of the Remodelers Council of the Greater Houston Builders Association say that whether homeowners plan to evacuate or “hunker down” they should consider fortifying their homes well in advance of the season’s possibility of severe weather. “Most people don’t think about it – until a hurricane is coming,” said John Pedersen, owner of Anthony Renard Remodeling. While there is no way to avoid bad weather, homes can become safer with a few modifications. Members of the council suggest the following:

Look Up Pedersen said that making sure the roof is strong is a good first step. Certain roof types are more likely to be damaged by high winds. Gabled roofs, for example, can be strengthened by installing additional braces or hurricane straps. “Don’t forget to check the flashing and roof for leaks,” he said. Protect Windows and Doors Wayne Ball, president of Lone Star Building and Construction Services Inc., said the first thing

72

to do when a storm is on the horizon is to cover windows and doors. He said keeping those items covered is a service his company offers. “There’s a fabric you can purchase to cover windows,” he said. The wind-abatement screens consist of a strong, lightweight layer of woven fabric typically coated with a geo-synthetic PVC material. “It’s a faster system,” he said. But for homeowners who prefer plywood window covers, Ball said he often installs a rack in the garage to store pre-cut pieces of wood. “If a storm is coming, there’s usually no plywood available at the store,” he said. “It’s already gone.” Storm shutters are another effective option, Pedersen said. “They’ve been used for years, and they’re still a good idea,” he said. Keep Yards Debris Free Ball said a well-maintained home exterior can be key to protecting a home. He added that all exterior fixtures should be secured to eliminate flying debris. “You have to keep trees trimmed ahead of time,” he said. “When a storm is coming, no one is going to come trim your trees.” Make Space for Supplies Being ready for a storm means stockpiling

HOUSTON REMODELING GUIDE GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

supplies, Ball said. “You need to store water,” he said. “You also need food and a generator system.” He recommends having a large generator that can serve the refrigerator and appliances, as well as a small generator and a window airconditioning unit. A great remodeling project for a storm-ready home is adding a storage closet for emergency supplies. “Create a space and everything can stay there,” he said. Add a Safe Room Pedersen said interior rooms may be retrofitted to create a structurally sound, storm-safe room. “It would be a great remodel project – and a good thing to do,” he said. Ball suggests giving the safe room a dual purpose. “A media room with no windows could be fortified and embraced so it wouldn’t collapse,” he said. Start Off Right Pedersen said the most important way to make sure a home is safe is to start at the beginning. “Make sure that when your home is built or remodeled, it is done correctly,” he said. “Most of the things that make your home strong are things that you can’t see.”
