11 Remodeling Guide 2014 MHMAG.COM Your newly purchased house needs help, your dated kitchen is approaching nonfunctional, your bathroom is beyond tired. You’re ready to remodel. Congratulations! But before you leap, do your homework. Ready, Set, Refresh STEP 1: EXPLORE This is the fun part: Read magazines like this one and use social media resources like Houzz and Pinterest to collect photos of rooms and space solutions you love. Attend home tours that showcase the work of local architects, designers, and builders—actually meeting the people involved will help you determine who you’d like to work with. The more research you do upfront, before you pull the trigger, the smoother the remodeling process. STEP 2: SET A BUDGET This is the not-so-fun part, but it’s essential. Remodeling costs vary enormously, depending on the scope of the work involved and the material choices you make. For example, Remodeling magazine’s 2014 Cost vs. Value Report pegs the cost of a midrange kitchen remodel in Minneapolis at $63,046 and an upscale kitchen remodel at $121,138. It estimates bathroom remodels at $19,527 to $57,509, and bathroom additions at $45,357 to $83,191. Are you gutting the kitchen to the studs? Reconfiguring space? Adding to the footprint of the house? Reusing windows or appliances? Using custom cabinetry? Planning on stone or laminate countertops? Each major design and material decision affects the bottom line. STEP 3: HIRE YOUR TEAM An architect, designer, or builder can help with planning the space, selecting materials, and managing your project from start to finish. Follow the rule of three and interview at least three likely professionals. Don’t just solicit bids; take the time to interview these pros, suggests the Minnesota chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. Determine if you communicate well with them. These people will essentially be moving in with you. Will you be comfortable having them in and around your house? NARI also recommends verifying that the contractor is licensed by the state, requesting a list of recently completed projects, and checking references. (See narimn.org for numbers to call and handy lists of questions to ask.) STEP 4: DO YOUR PART There are endless product choices for everything from countertops to pendant lights to decorative hardware—more than 2,000 decisions to make for even the simplest of kitchen remodels, estimate the writers of Remodelista: A Manual for the Considered Home. Be prepared to make decisions—and make them on schedule— or to live with the delays and increased costs. STEP 5: KNOW YOURSELF Decide where to save and where to splurge. It’s expensive to move plumbing, gas, and electric wiring. Can they stay in their current locations? Consider refinishing and reusing existing flooring. Must cabinetry be custom or will pre-fabricated fit your space and meet your standards? If you must have that La Cornue stove or the frameless-glass shower with multiple showerheads, know that you’ll have to trade off elsewhere or adjust your budget accordingly. –CHRIS LEE NOW, BACK TO THE FUN PART : See the following pages for remodeling inspiration for every room in the house.

THE HEAT REFLECTS AWAY,AND YOUR HOME STAYS COOL.

Landmark Solaris™ is a brilliant breakthrough that puts cool roof technology to work for you. Plus, our palette of rich, authentic colors makes it an easy choice for eco-friendly living.

The secret is in CertainTeed’s advanced roofing granulesthat reflect solar energy and radiate heat far better than traditional roofing shingles.

you don’t have to gowhite to go greenUsing cool roofing technology has beenrecognized as one of the easiest, mostcost-effective ways of lowering energyconsumption. But until now, going greenmeant going white.

While white is naturally reflective, LandmarkSolaris’ innovative technology puts colorwhere white used to be and produces ashingle that reflects solar energy.

That’s a green of a different color.

Though light-colored surfaces traditionally have higher reflectance thandark surfaces, Landmark Solaris’ cutting-edge design defies traditional thinking byreflecting the sun’s energy with style.

a cool explanationWhat are Solar Reflectance and Thermal Emittance?

Solar reflectance and thermal emittanceare the two radiative properties used tomeasure the “coolness” of a roof.

Thermal Emittance:the relative ability of the

roof surface to radiateabsorbed heat

so cool, it’s rated for rebatesLandmark Solaris is rated by Cool RoofRating Council for cool roofs and meetsCalifornia’s Title 24 requirements forcool steep slope roofing.

Solaris shingles may qualify for cred-its/points in LEED®, NAHB® and other“green” programs.

And some utility companies offer a rebate for Landmark Solaris that canput as much as $300 back into a homeowner’s pocket for an average3,000 sq. ft. roof.

Landmark Solaris shingles are ENERGY STAR® qualified roof products that meet both solar reflectance and thermal emissivity requirements.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2/17/09 enableshomeowners to receive up to a $1,500tax credit if they install specific energyefficient products that carry an ENERGY STAR rating
