About to Spend Big Bucks on that Annapolis Fixer-Upper? You Might Want to Call This Guy First and See If You Can Realize Your Homeowner Fantasies Without Busting Your Budget
So you’ve picked out the cutest little Annapolis bungalow you’ve ever seen and you’re thinking about making an offer.
But you’ve got some…concerns. You’re not sure how an expanded kitchen would fit into the overall design. You’re wondering if the new master bedroom is going to change the roof line. And you’d really like to see your new home “go green” as much as possible. Where do you turn?
To someone like Chris Neumann, design consultant, who deals with these sorts of issues all the time. Chris is a former owner and manager of one of the DC area’s top Design Build Remodeling firms, where he was the design director. He oversaw many large and small scale renovation projects and you can check out a number of them at his Website. That’s one of his projects in the photos above, before and after.
You can see a summary of the services Chris offers at his Website, so I won’t go into much detail here. But briefly, he can do a pre-purchase consultation or advise on renovation possibilities. He can do a feasibility analysis and consult on the design process, zoning limitations, material choices and budget trade-offs.
He’ll also do a sustainability survey and advise on how to save energy, conserve water, and incorporate “green” products and technology into your project. If it was my call, I wouldn’t go near a reno without first talking to Chris.
FULL DISCLOSURE STUFF – I can attest to the quality of Chris’ work because we’re selling his Annapolis home, which he transformed from drab to fab.
OTHER STUFF – If it’s a fixer-upper you’re looking for in the Annapolis area, we have plenty of homes we can show you. Just email me at kenhaedrich@gmail.com, tell me what area/s you’re interested in and what price range, and I’ll email you a list of the best prospects right away.
