Estimation to Construction: Our Step-by-Step Remodeling Process

Q: Are remodeling costs tax deductible?

In general, most remodeling costs are not directly tax deductible unless they meet specific criteria. However, some scenarios may allow for tax benefits: Home Office Remodeling: If you use part of your home exclusively as a home office, the cost of remodeling that space may be deductible as a business expense. Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Adding energy-efficient windows, doors, insulation, or HVAC systems may qualify you for federal tax credits. Learn more at EnergyStar.gov . Medical Necessities: Modifications made for medical reasons, such as installing ramps or widening doorways, may be deductible as medical expenses. Capital Improvements: Remodeling projects that increase your home’s value (e.g., an addition or kitchen upgrade) may not be deductible immediately but can reduce capital gains tax when you sell your home. Helpful Resources: IRS Publication 530 explains tax rules for homeowners. Tax Benefits for Homeowners provides details on deductions and credits. Consult with a tax professional to determine if your remodeling project qualifies for any deductions or credits.

Q: Do you work with subcontractors, and how do you ensure quality and coordination among them?

We have a team of in-house experts , but we also work with a team of experienced subcontractors who are carefully vetted for their expertise and reliability. Our project manager oversees the work of subcontractors to ensure that it meets our quality standards and is seamlessly integrated into the overall project.
