Many homeowners are choosing to turn their existing homes into their dream home - instead of purchasing a new home. There are lots of great reasons to do so:

• Not-so-big houses are better. People are frequently finding that the McMansion isn't what it's cracked up to be. For a fixed amount of money, invest it instead in putting a nicer finish and more efficiency into smaller square footage, and end up with a much nicer house. This is a growing trend, inspired by the book The Not So Big House - which we recommend you buy if you're thinking about remodeling. It'll inspire you to make your existing home become your dream home!
• High cost of new construction. New building lots are often simply unavailable in desired areas, and the ones that do make it to market have big price tags - even before the cost of building the new home.
• Familiarity. Many homeowners prefer to stay in their homes because they are comfortable in the neighborhood.
• Convenience. Most of the time, Home Energy can complete home remodeling in stages, enabling homeowners to continue to comfortably live in their home during construction. This eliminates the complication of having to juggle ownership of two homes - which can often happen in constructing a new home.

For these reasons and many more, whole house remodels have become very popular. Home Energy specializes in this type of work. Check out our whole house remodel portfolio pages.
