In order to qualify, all you need to be is over 62 years old and be a homeowner in Houston.
Upon application, the grant can take up to 2-3 months to be given. However, this does not affect the actual renovation process and we start right upon approval. The approval process normally take 7-14 days.
There is no exact timeframe for the completion of a home renovations. From the moment you decide on materials, you should plan for the completion date to be several weeks in the future. This is especially true if you are installing custom cabinets, as they usually require about eight to ten weeks to build. The extent of the renovation, as well as the availability of the materials you choose and the current workload of your contractor, will all play a role in how long the project will require for completion. Once all the materials are ready, and demolition is done, the installation process can usually be completed in a few weeks.
While there is no doubt remodeling your kitchen will improve the value of your home, there is some debate on just how much value it will add. Improving your home in any way will likely add value, but because the kitchen is such a focal point of your home, it’s usually the place to get the most bang for your buck. Even though a kitchen renovation will improve your home value, you shouldn’t expect to make back every penny you spend.
Painting is often the more affordable option compared to the cost of refacing cabinets. However, painting may not produce the results you want. Though painting can cover up some imperfections, it can’t improve the quality of the cabinets or remove dents or damage. Refacing your cabinets will completely replace all the front-facing parts of the cabinetry, which can significantly improve them and give them a newer appearance.
While it is cheaper to reface cabinets instead of replacing them, the savings is usually not worth it. We know it’s tempting to cut costs in any way you can, but when you look at the facts of refacing, you’ll see that the best choice is usually to just replace them. That’s because the most expensive part of any cabinet is the door, generally accounting for about 70% of the total cost of the cabinet. If you’re already going to be purchasing the most expensive part, you may as well spend the additional amount to replace the entire cabinet. This will ensure better quality and precise matching of the doors and frame.
In Houston, yes. However, Smart Home Remodeling will take care of getting the required permits during the process.
