Whole House Renovation and Addition - This sensational home improvement project was a quite a dramatic transformation from the original 1970’s brick facade home. Nailite vinyl shakes, cultured stone, several new gables, and a large scale porch with arches & columns were used to give this renovation enormous architectural interest. This South Lyon home improvement included a large master suite addition with a basement. The existing floor plan was redesigned for better use of space. The living room was bumped out & a new fireplace with a wall unit was added. New & refinished hardwood was combined along with new tile floors throughout the home. Home Remodeling. South Lyon, MI

Remodel Cost - I have a simaler style house and trying to decide weather to do what you did or sell and buy another house. The property is why we want to stay. i have a few contractors coming. But can you give me a idea of what that cost you? It might be total out of the ball park for me. I am looking at spending no more than $200k. »
