To Build or To Remodel ? Lindsay Mardick Construction is construction, right? There are important factors to consider when deciding whether to build a new home or remodel your existing home. Location is always a primary concern. Does the existing house and neighborhood warrant the value of an addition or remodeling effort? Depending on the circumstances, the reality is remodeling will take longer because your crew will be working around existing conditions; there is more danger and liability because the home is open and exposed; quality standards are different because what you build on the remodeling project must dovetail with the existing structure; and most importantly, it is more expensive than new construction because of the additional cost associated with blending old and new. Before making a decision, look through stock plan books, magazines, and websites. If the site is worth saving, perhaps a tear-down and rebuild situation is the answer.
