The first order of business when undertaking a project like this is to try and get your arms around the scope of work. Analyze what to keep and what you want the home to become. The bigger the job, the more vital it is to have a sounding board of a designer and contractor that you implicitly trust. Finding this person (or team) early is important because the confidence built makes the project a lot less stressful simply because you have faith in that relationship. They are your advocate. Hiring insured professionals who have proven that they know what they are doing is imperative-just like in any other industry. When was the last time you took three bids on an impending surgery and you found solace in going with the low bid? This is “surgery” on what could be your biggest asset…Do it well! This "patient" should live for another 100 years...
As we have ultimate faith in our contractor-we are poised and ready to get a building permit for the glaring repairs that are necessary on the house.
There are literally holes in the balcony and the roof has been compromised. So essentially everything that is wood or supported by wood above the front porch needs to come off and be replaced with the same profile.
