Most Kitchen Bath showrooms are marketing locations. Owners put a great deal of thought, planning, and expense into their showroom for potential clients ability to come see, touch and operate
the products they are considering placing in their homes. Lots of people love to come in for ideas for a kitchen or bath remodeling project. We enjoy talking with you about your dream project. Please come see us! You will discover that Apple Wood is unique and offers so much more!
What is the difference. There are a few important ones. First of all we are a Design Build Company. What does that mean? It means once you have made your selections, signed the contract, and have your start date, you have only one phone call to make concerning any and every question, or concern that comes up, We schedule, follow, and keep tabs on everyone and everything connected to complete your project excellently. This is our primary commitment!
Lenny Santosuosso, Apple Woods expert building professional, has literally been building homes since he was a teenager. Most builders begin their training much later when they are older. Lenny's experience was well established before his twenties. There is literally no residential building project Lenny has never done! One of the scary truths about our industry, is their is no required training. Certifications and Licences are also not required in New Hampshire. Due to these facts, some homeowners award projects to less experienced people. It is very common for someone who may be a very skilled "handyman" to suddenly decide they can take on building a home, addition, or remodeling project bigger than their experience has prepared them to handle.
Our Kitchen Bath Showroom came to be due to Lenny's search for a synergistic partnership. His original company was Apple Wood Construction, a Custom Home building/remodeling specialist. Lenny's search for a partner to refer his clients to for Kitchens and Bath cabinets resulted in unsatisfactory quality and workmanship. He tried a few to quickly discover their standards for excellence were not the same as his own. I am telling you all this for a reason. Our Showroom is focused on Kitchens and Baths. However, Apple Wood continues to take on exterior projects as well as complete home construction.
Going back to our topic of Cost vs Value, I want to inform you we build decks, replace doors and windows, replace roofs and siding, and garage doors. None of these are as exciting as a complete remodel or addition perhaps. However, where value is measured each is a significant factor that adds value to your home. After all curb appeal is very important! This especially impacts listing prices if you want to sell your home.
Here are the figures for these various outside improvements:
When you add or replace:
A Deck: Average cost recouped is 68.4% (Composite) 74% ( Wood)
A New Roof: 67% to 72%
New Windows: 73% to 77%
Siding: 77%
Entry Door: 81% to 95%
New Garage Door: 92%
Pretty impressive, I'd say! Homes typically are our biggest investment. Isn't it great to discover updating our homes in ways we dream of, actually adds to our portfolio value.
Happy dreaming! Come share your ideas and let's get started!
