More and more people are adding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) to their homes. The reasons for adding an ADU may vary, but there is no denying that this type of living space has been on the rise in popularity over the last few years. And from the looks of things, they will only get more popular as time goes on.

An Accessory Dwelling Unit, also known as an ADU or in-law suite, can be attached to your home or its own separate unit. This allows you to either combine or separate the utilities from your main home. In order for a space to qualify as an ADU, it must be independently habitable, meaning there must be a functioning bathroom and kitchen or kitchenette.

As we mentioned before, there are a few different reasons a homeowner would choose to add an ADU to their home. Here are three reasons you might consider this kind of addition.

  1. ADUs make the perfect space to house aging or extended family members. As parents and grandparents age, having them nearby brings peace of mind to the whole family while still allowing them their own private space. An ADU is also a great transitional space for a child who is ready for independence but not prepared to leave the nest completely.
  2. Do you often have guests from out of town? An ADU is a wonderful guest house, allowing your guests comfort, privacy, and independence, while still having them nearby.
  3. And lastly, many people are using ADUs as a secondary source of income as either a short or long-term rental unit. Don’t want to be a landlord or deal with managing a rental? No problem, there are many agencies for hire that manage both long and short-term rental spaces, allowing you to see profit without taking up more of your time than you’re willing to invest. 

It is important to note that some cities have regulations on ADUs and what they can be used for, but there is no doubt that ADUs have become a popular addition to homes all over our area. If you’re interested in adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit to your home, we would love to talk to you about the process in more detail. Click the link below to get started!

Let’s talk about outdoor spaces.

I know what you are probably thinking. It’s winter, it’s freezing, and it’s wet. Why would I want to talk about outdoor spaces? Well, as you know, projects take time, and time flies. This next year just may fly by even faster than the last.

The point is that there is never a wrong time to think about taking steps toward creating your dream home. So then, now that you’re convinced, let’s talk about that outdoor space.

Whether you dream of the perfect space to host your friends and family at every holiday and Saturday night BBQ, or simply want a quiet space to drink your coffee and soak in the sunshine on those warm summer mornings, we’ve got your back.

Some outdoor spaces are simply large covered patios. Perfect for a beautiful outdoor dining set, cozy firepit, and fully-loaded barbeque grill that leaves you feeling like you should be hosting a show on the food network.

Others are essentially a second kitchen/dining/living room, fully outfitted with a wet bar, fridge, spacious countertops, fireplace, tv hookups, and more.

Either way–or anything in-between– we’ve got you covered! Our team of experienced designers will help you choose a perfect design for your needs and available space, then see the job through to completion, making sure that it fits your home seamlessly.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s get working on your outdoor space today!

Here at Renewal Remodels and Additions, we value giving back to our community.

We recently had the privilege of working with Need A Break Services. Need a Break is a wonderful organization that helps single mothers, widows, and elderly members of our community who find themselves in need of a bit of help.

We were able to partner with Need A Break Services in supporting a family whose early 1900’s home was on the verge of being condemned due to some significant structural issues and loss of integrity in the beams supporting the roof.

Our team was able to reframe the front porch, add support beams, install new railings and siding, and clean up a few other areas damaged by rot. We were able to give the home the support it needed while maintaining its original style and look.

This project ended up being a special time of connection between our team, the homeowners, and the Need A Break team. The owners of the house opened their home and hearts to us. They joined in on the work and provided our team with coffee and a home-cooked meal at the end of the day. We are so grateful not only to be able to give back but also to connect with so many amazing people within our community.

You can learn more about Need A Break Services and the important work they do here.

Has your family outgrown your home? Are you ready for more square footage? Do you want to utilize your home as an additional source of income? Are you looking for an upgrade but want to avoid moving? There are many reasons to consider a home addition. Here are a few of our favorites. 

Increased Square Footage

This may seem like an obvious point. But consider being able to stay in your current home, in the neighborhood you love, while enjoying the added space you need. You don’t have to worry about outgrowing your home if your home grows with you.

Additional Source of Income

Many people use their homes as an additional source of income by listing them as long or short-term rentals. A home addition may be just what you need to start earning that extra income by making your home work for you! Consider an addition that serves as an apartment or even a detached accessory dwelling unit.

Increase Your Home’s Value

Maybe you plan on selling your home. Increasing the square footage and updating the layout can increase the value and attract more buyers when you are ready to sell.

Avoid the Stress of Moving

Moving can be a stressful process–finding a real estate agent, listing your home, packing, finding a new home, moving in–it’s a lot of work. In the current housing market, it can be even more stressful than usual. A home addition is a great way to get the square footage and specific updates you need without all the hassle of moving.

Get the Specific Upgrades You Need

Choosing a home addition ensures that you get the type of additional space you want. Customizing your home to fit your specific needs is what home additions are all about.

Spring is upon us, and that means our homes need some post-winter love. It’s time to tackle that pesky moss that has grown up on your roof, sidewalk, lawn, and just about everything else outdoors (it is the PNW, after all). Spring is the perfect time to arm your home against insects and pests, and everyone’s favorite, organize the garage and attic.

 

 

There is a lot to think about when springtime rolls around, and if you’re like most homeowners, there may be a few things you commonly overlook in your spring cleaning. With that in mind, we had Renewal’s founder and owner, George, put together a spring cleaning checklist to help you prepare for the coming summer months!

Wow, what a year 2020 has turned out to be! It has certainly been full of surprises. But through it all, we are so thankful for God’s blessings in the midst of it. Christmas is a wonderful time to slow down and reflect on those blessings and to enjoy family and friends and home. Though all the ups and downs of 2020 we have found ourselves even more thankful for our amazing staff, trade partners, and the wonderful homeowners we have the privilege of working with. 

So we want to thank you for being a bright blessing to Renewal Remodels and Additions in 2020! We hope and pray that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and that 2021 brings you blessings and peace.
