It seems like home décor trends have been stuck in the land of neutrals for years. Thankfully, we are finally starting to see bold color choices getting used. Whether a small pops of color or a big, statement-making update to your home, we have ideas for you.

When we think of a “forever home,” it can be easy to underestimate all of the changes that will take place between now and forever.

Significant milestones in life will demand changes in your home. These are some of the home-remodel projects we have helped out with in various life stages:

Every now and then, the house you love will begin to feel small, outdated, and just not what you want anymore. As tempting as it may be to pack up your belongings and move to a different house, is that really a practical decision? Here is some reasons remodeling your current home makes more sense than moving.

Spring is in full swing and that means seasonal allergies are rearing their ugly head once again. If pollen, ragweed, and other allergens make your spring difficult, there are changes you can make to your home to alleviate some of those problems.

Your home is probably your most valuable asset. With more than a decade’s worth of experience remodeling in the Birmingham area, ELM Construction has seen many houses that have suffered damage in some way from fires to storms. Damage that is preventable with simple maintenance.

If you’re looking to remodel your Birmingham area house next year, we’re ready to help you design and build the best project to fit your needs. Above all else, your remodel should work for you, not just follow the latest trends. Still, it can be helpful to see what trends are out there.

This month on the blog we’re talking about one of the most important parts of planning your remodeling project: budgeting.

It’s not as fun as picking out your cabinets or new appliances, but it’s important to know what a project is going to cost before you get started – and what you can afford. As part of our design/build process, ELM Construction is going to make sure we create the best project for your budget, working with you to make your dream a reality!

Simply put, we believe Design/Build is a better, more efficient want to remodel your home. It means the designer and builder or remodeler are on the same team and you get many advantages over the traditional design/bid/build model of construction.

If you’ve been looking to add more livable space to your home, one option to consider is an Accessory Dwelling Unit or ADU. Sometimes known as mother-in-law units, granny flats or backyard cottages, ADUs are separate structures built on the property. Find out more.
