What does Schumacher homes charge for upgrades?
Comments (8)Late to the game here, but I agree with millworkman. We built through TK Constructors in Ohio and deducted a woodburning fireplace and received a 600 dollar credit. I was kinda pleased with that because we were okay not having a fireplace. Well, guess what, now 4 years later my wife wants a freaking fireplace and of course, good luck adding a woodburning fireplace with proper venting for 600 bucks. LOL Sorry dear, not happening. I'll buy you an electric fireplace/tv stand. To answer the original question, through TK, we spent about 80k in upgrades and sitework. In reality, it was probably closer to 90k because our sitework with DP&L Energy ran higher getting electric back to the house. The base plan we chose was $134k *back then* and we gave them about 200k. But after I built a deck and paid DP$L, we were closer to $220k. But that includes stained wood trim and solid doors, an extra bathroom, a full ranch walkout basement, taller roof, upgraded siding, ceramic tile everywhere except bedrooms/living room, a 3rd car garage addition, and granite counters. I did not upgrade cabinets, or 9' ceilings, or 9' basement pour and we are enjoying the heck out of this house on 4 acres. All in for $280 with land....See MoreLandscaping front on home -seeking opinions
Comments (1)Since all the lines of your home are straight and square you should do curved beds. Also add a flag stone walk way from the road to the front door. Again, make it a little winding or curved and not straight. Anchor the ends with taller trees or shrubs. I like holly because it's evergreen.

Comments (31)I would run the wood through the kitchen too. I don't like when floors are different through main living spaces. It breaks them up and makes the rooms appear smaller and less cohesive. I have wood floors in my entire house (except the bathrooms with showers/ tubs). Wood is great in the kitchen and floors are sealed so there is no problem with durability in the kitchen. I'd also think long and hard before installing a 'trendy' wood tone. Classic wood colors are best....See MoreWhose Opinion Matters More for Home Design? Your's or Friends/family?
Comments (14)J Williams-exactly-maybe it is the fear of making a "mistake" I will say I hate when anyone wastes money-I see it mostly on PAINT and furnishings of the wrong scale-"it looked so nice in the catelogue.....green is the pantone color of the year..." this is all great but look where it got you-for me I do appreciate the approach that as a hired interior designer I walk through the decisions with clients and i do always say " YOU HAVE TO LIVE HERE I DONT " I just want it to be correct with everything else you are doing. Everyone is investing in their homes here in The Bay Area-and with such high prices for real estate they want the decisions they make to last the test of time-but I do find if you choose items and colors you love you can make it all work niclely and have it reflect you-...See Morepesuazo
