Pasadena Renovation Tips

People often consider the local housing market in making home remodeling decisions.  For mid-2016 the median selling price is around $725,000, some $500 per square foot (Trulia and Zillow).  But that can change rapidly and significantly, and predictions are often way off.  In 2000 median prices were around $220,000 and peaked at $662,000 in 2007.  But in 2010 http://www.doctorhousingbubble.com/the-anatomy-of-a-housing-bubble-city-pasadena-ca-real-estate-in-bubble-and-will-correct/  noted that median prices had recovered to the $545 to $660,000 and were due for a correction.  But in Pasadena high demand continues to drive up prices.

• So it shouldn’t be surprising that the decision often comes down to simply whether or not you’re happy where you are now.

Home remodeling projects involve a lot more than many people expect, with seemingly endless details wherever you turn, and countless specialized skills required.  You’ll find some great information and tips on choosing a remodeling contractor from Consumer Reports at http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/home-garden/resource-center/choosing-a-contractor/overview/index.htm.  Here are the key points — the web page covers them in great detail.

• Thoroughly check out every remodeling contractor you’re considering.  Confirm their licensing and insurance, and check for complaints at the BBB (but just about any company will have a few), and actually contact their references.
• An estimate is only that.  The next stage is a formal bid, and after signing that bid is a legal contract.  The lowest price is often a bad deal. So confirm that everything you’re expecting is included and be sure to examine all the details, right down to the diameter of pipe to be used.

Permits and inspections should be included, as they’re required by the City of Pasadena and protect you against sub-standard design and construction.  Just about every project requires a plan review, with room additions, kitchen remodels, and bathroom remodels explicitly listed.  Several permits and several types of plans are usually required to cover architecture, heating and cooling, energy efficiency, plumbing, and electrical.  You can learn more at http://www.ci.pasadena.ca.us/PermitCenter/Permit_Information/.
