If it seems like there is a remodel project going on on every block in your neighborhood, you are probably not seeing things. Remodeling revenue has been steadily going up every year and in some cases outpacing new home construction. If you have a good location it may make more sense to improve what you already have. Why buy when you can have a dream home and a dream location? Everyone has a remodel story to share or knows someone who is going through the process of a remodel. Every third TV channel has a show about remodels. Everyone has an opinion about a remodel, especially if it is not their own. This can lead to all sorts of interesting stories, conflicts, and yes, even success stories. The top five comments on a remodel site: 1. The check is in the mail. 2. Honey, should we get a mailbox for the contractor so he can start getting his mail here? 3. I didn't know I had to pay for all these change orders. 4. My neighbor said my granite does not go with my new cherry cabinets. (Holy cow!!!!!!) 5. You know you have had enough when your 83 year old male customer walks around the house naked in front of you and all your employees... and gravity has done a thorough job.
