Typical project scopes in Alpharetta homes
Kitchens in homes from the late 1980s and 1990s often have a closed layout, a peninsula, oak cabinets and a soffit above the uppers. A common update removes the soffit, replaces the peninsula with an island, adds under-cabinet and recessed lighting, and opens the kitchen toward the family room. Primary bathrooms from the same era often have a large garden tub and a small fiberglass shower; many homeowners replace both with a larger tiled walk-in shower and a freestanding tub or no tub at all. Basements in newer homes are frequently stubbed for plumbing, which makes adding a bathroom more straightforward.
How to collect ideas for your estimate
- Save photos of rooms you like and note what you like about each one.
- Note what does not work in your current space: storage, light, traffic flow.
- Measure the rooms you want to change.
- Set a budget range you are comfortable discussing.
- Bring everything to the in-home visit so the estimate reflects your goals.
A clear picture of what you want, and what bothers you about the current space, helps us write a scope you can compare accurately with other bids.
