Remodel Versus Move

With over 15 years of experience, our company, Lux Builders & Remodeling, has worked with numerous homeowners with the remodeling and construction of their homes. Even during the economic crisis that hit the construction industry, we endured and worked with our clients to elevate their lifestyles.

We estimate that 95% of all our projects are focused on building and remodeling our client’s current homes because many of the homeowners love their neighborhood and living in Southern California.

There are many reasons for entering a lengthy, energy-consuming, and labor-intense home remodeling project. But the most common reason is to improve homeowners’ lifestyles by bringing the home to match the modern way of living.

Often our clients consider the option of purchasing a different house that will address their needs better than the existing, to avoid the hassle of the construction and remodeling project.

1. Both houses are located in the desired Manhattan Beach, CA.
2. They are located on a quiet street, with the same lot size.
3. One property is being updated by an investor and our client’s home is being fully remodeled.

After extensive remodeling, the cost was a little over $350,000.

Please take a look at the “BEFORE” photos:

See the “AFTER” photos:

Taste is individual, some of you might like the calming white and gray color scheme of the spec house, but you cannot deny the character and custom finishes picked by our clients.

After calculating costs, the remodeling project was still LESS than the sold price of the spec house.

These two properties display the difference between a “HOME” and a “HOUSE”.
