B Gallant Homes Tips to Transform Your Home into a Staycation Destination.
RENOVATIONS & ADDITIONS
Don’t waste that vacation budget, invest it in your home.
Create a personal sanctuary that you’ll enjoy daily. Entertain family and friends in a new game room. Impress your guests with an outdoor kitchen and dining experience.
A renovation or addition is not a fleeting memory, but something meant to enhance your everyday life.

DO IT RIGHT
Hire a reputable Contractor.
Talk to your friends and family for recommendations and contact your local Home Builders Association for a list of licensed professionals in your area. Look for companies that offer an itemized estimate, a written contract, and a limited warranty.
Consult with your municipal building department for any requirements and permits necessary.
Budget more of your money on hardware and “built in” items. A quality structure, whether it’s a ground level deck or kitchen cabinets, increases functionality, performance, and investment return.
You can modernize a well-designed and professionally built space by altering décor to match the current trends, but décor will not mask a poorly constructed inefficient space.
