Treasure Hunt the Historic

What could be nicer than spending some unhurried time in a small, walkable, old-Florida city? Historic Downtown Ocala, which dates back to 1846, combines vintage charm with a modern culture. The town square — which includes a paved octagon, a cute gazebo and green space — is surrounded by an array of highly regarded, independently owned restaurants, including Mark’s Prime, Harry’s Seafood Bar & Grille, The Lodge Brick City Craft Pub & Eatery and Brick City Southern Kitchen & Whiskey Bar.

Go shopping and stroll the Historic Downtown Square and browse boutiques, gift shops and antique storefronts in Ocala. There is even a Scavenger Hunt Tour arranged by Let’s Roam called the Fort King Fandango.

Or take in the local charm of nearby Belleview, Dunnellon, Reddick and McIntosh, exploring a variety of specialty shops and fla markets. You never know what you might find

If you plan on remodeling your home, it is never too soon to start planning and preparing. The planning and researching phases of a project are the most critical steps in the remodeling process. The more knowledgeable and prepared a homeowner is, the more they protect themselves from things going badly.

Since most remodeling projects start in the spring, the winter months are a great time to start planning. What can a homeowner do to prepare for a remodel? Here are some tips to keep in mind before you break ground.

1. Research your project. Taking time to research projects will provide a good sense of what is involved: such as price, scope of work, return on investment and new product/ material options. Also, research property values in your neighborhood to make sure your project is in line with other homes in the area.

2. Set your budget. Deciding on a realistic budget and arranging finances to support your project are essential. This number needs to include everything—the project, products, contingencies, etc. Don’t be afraid to share this with your remodeler; professionals are respectful of a client’s budget and will create a plan around it, not over it.

3. Search for professionals. The online world makes it easy to gather information. Ask friends, family and neighbors for referrals and then spend time researching that person online. Professional remodelers take their reputation seriously and hold credentials beyond licensing, such as certifications, memberships in trade associations and additional training. Check online reviews and social media to see how they interact with past clients and peers.

4. Review contracts word-by-word. A remodeling contract protects you and your remodeler. Homeowners should review this

carefully. Professional remodelers have done this before and know what should go in a contract. Homeowners are not as familiar with remodeling and should ask about terms if they don’t understand. Pay attention to details about change orders, payment, additional fees, timeline and responsibilities.

5. Keep design in mind. Your design guides the entire project. Think about what you dislike about your current space and the intended use of the new space. Make sure you can articulate specifically what you like about that design when talking to your designer.

6. Make your selections. Deciding on products and materials is a larger process than most imagine. With so many options to choose from, product selections are one of the primary reasons for project timelines to get extended. Base decisions on quality, function, price, style and availability. Include selections in the contract to lock down pricing and keep your budget intact.

Finally, be sure to communicate well with your remodeler. If you have problems or questions, let them know. A common downfall in remodeling is lack of communication, so don’t be afraid to talk about anything that comes up.
