Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Home remodeling costs vary depending on the scope of the project and the type of work performed. Heres a look at what you can expect to pay for your home remodel.

The average cost to remodel your whole house is between an average of $10 $60 per square foot. So on the low end, a 2,500-square-foot home costs at a minimum about $25,000 to remodel.

This includes improvements like painting, landscaping, and updating the trim and flooring. You might also replace the cabinetry, appliances and countertops. However, youll pay more for things like foundation repair, a full bathroom or kitchen remodel and HVAC and roof replacement.

A gut and remodel is a much more extensive renovation that involves updating every surface, appliance, and fixture. It often involves taking walls down to the studs, replacing windows, and replacing the plumbing and electrical. The average cost to gut the home down to its studs is between $2,500 $9,800. Then, youll need to add on the cost to remodel.

A home addition involves adding a room or structure to your home. Homeowners may do this to add more square footage to their existing home or to make better use of the space they have. For example, you could add a bedroom or sunroom onto the side of the house or an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to your garage.

The average home addition costs between $22,372 and $81,164. Youll pay the most to build a room addition since that involves making changes to the homes floor plan.

A historic home is any structure thats at least 50 years old and meets one of the following criteria:

Its challenging to take a historic home and update it to todays safety and environmental standards. You may have to repair structural elements of the home and youll need to hire licensed contractors who have experience updating historical homes. You may also have to pay for higher insurance costs.

How Much Does It Cost To Remodel A House In 2023? - Zing! Blog by Quicken Loans

All over Portland, since the population boom in the early 1900s, large old houses have been divided to create apartments. Heres a twist: A Victorian-era dwelling that had been converted into a fourplex has been restored, from the basement to the suite in the former attic, to connect all 4,223 square feet of living space.

The 1883 Italianate-style house at 2805 S.E. 28th Ave. in the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood was listed for sale on April 13 at $1,350,000. Six days later, an offer was accepted.

Multiple bonus rooms and flex spaces ... porches and nooks to explore throughout the house, says listing agent Gregory Sobotka of Think Real Estate.

Portland design-build firm Arciform renovated the house in phases while preserving its original architecture and timeless craftsmanship. Most notable: A window created by Povey Brothers Art Glass Works, Oregons first decorative window company, known as the Tiffany of the Northwest.

All the existing windows were repaired, re-glazed and received new ropes and pulleys, and storm windows were installed, says Sobotka.

Among the preserved intricate woodworking is a staircase built with contouring banisters from the main level to second-floor landing.

The house with 12-foot-high ceilings has a new kitchen, butlers pantry, seating areas fronting bay windows plus five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The elevated, 7,405-square-foot, landscaped and fenced lot has views of Portlands skyline.

Before Portland created a uniformed street name and address system in the 1930s, the house for sale was at 545 E. 28th Street.

The original owner, Menzo J. Morse, was born in 1847 in New York and served as a teenager in the 64th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry in the Union Army during the Civil War.

He and his wife, Amelia E. Hunter, and their daughter, Eva, moved to Portland in 1880, where Morse owned the Oregon Picture Frame manufacturing company and was a circuit court bailiff, according to his obituary.

Morse was a member of Portlands Grand Army of the Republic Post 1 fraternal organization and was one of 14 founders of the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery in Southwest Portland. He died at age 74 and was buried at the cemetery.

Historians say Salmon Brown, son of abolitionist leader John Brown, and Hartwell B. Compson, who received the Medal of Honor for heroism in the Civil War and was Brigadier General of the Oregon National Guard, were also buried at the historic cemetery.

AURORA, Ohio (WJW) Caught in the act! Portage County residents were surprised to find their Amazon package missing, but it was even more shocking to find out the culprit.

The incident happened Tuesday night on East Pioneer Trail in Aurora.

In video captured on security camera, a sneaky racoon is seen dragging the package off the porch and across the yard.

We had a thief steal our Amazon package off our front porch last night on East Pioneer Trail, Sally Baird said in a Facebook post Wednesay. Trying to decide whether or not to press charges!

It turns out the package was full of food for the ducklings hatching in their incubator.

The little rascal toted it off and ate every bite, Baird told FOX 8. The entertainment provided by our masked bandit was worth every penny it cost to replace.

New Hampshire resident, Bonnie McKenzie, was startled awake on Sunday morning to find an enormous black bear on her front porch.

"We were sleeping, and at about 2:30 in the morning, I heard our blink camera system going crazy," McKenzie told Newsweek. "As I was getting up to see what was going on I heard a large crash.

"When I got up and went to look on the porch I observed a huge bear approximately 300 to 400 pounds had broken through our enclosed porch door. He then left the same way he came in."

The next evening, at about 8:30 p.m, the bear paid McKenzie a second visit. "This time [he] broke through the glass and entered the porch again. The only thing we could figure out that he wanted is we have a metal locked container that my hubby keeps bird seed in. He made no attempt to try to get into that."

McKenzie's husband shouted at the bear through the sliding door, which seemed to do the trick. "He took off rather quickly," McKenzie said. "Needless to say we have been uneasy that he may return again. We have also gotten rid of all bird seed."

Black bears are the only bear species found in New Hampshire. According to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, there are between 4,800 and 5,000 bears across the state, with an average of one bear for every 2 square miles.

McKenzie lives in Laconia, in Belknap County, and is no stranger to these apex predators. "We have lived in this co-op community for 23 years and have had bears in our area often roaming around the neighborhood, but never breaking in anyone's residence," McKenzie said.

In New Hampshire, bears typically come out of hibernation in late March to early April. This male bear was likely looking for food, which is why he may have been drawn to McKenzie's crate of bird seed.

Bears are clever animals, so to avoid attracting them to your yard, it is best to put away bird feeders from April to December, and take them out again once the bears have gone back to their dens to hibernate.

McKenzie shared photos and footage of the bear to her local community Facebook group in a post that has received hundreds of likes and comments.

Users were quick to point out a small bear statue in McKenzie's garden with the word "welcome" painted across it.

"I'll have to remove my little bear welcome sign," McKenzie said. "I don't want it to bring its buddies here!"

If you see a bear, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department advises you to keep your distance. You should never run or turn your back to a black bear and, if you are attacked by a black bear, you should fight back rather than "play dead."

Terrifying Moment Huge Bear Breaks Into Family Home's Porch Caught on CCTV - Newsweek

Lilys front porch test, which she submitted Teds girlfriends to in How I Met Your Mother, always highlighted moral quandaries, but the reason behind it also hid a very sweet reasoning. Only appearing in How I Met Your Mother season 4, episode 17, The Front Porch, Lilys meddling in multiple relationships of Teds proved amusing because it prompted Ted and Karen to break up, a welcome development for the group considering their distaste of Karen. However, given how extensively involved Lily was revealed to be in Teds relationships, her front porch test always seemed too manipulative to be only considered a laughing-off expedient.

Teds high school girlfriend Karen made multiple appearances in How I Met Your Mother, often in Ted, Marshall, and Lilys university stories, but How I Met Your Mother season 4 officially introduced her in the shows main timeline. Even if she hadnt failed Lilys porch test, Karen was hated by all of Teds friends, and Lilys impulse to break them up only reflected the whole groups attitude towards Karen. Still, despite Karens behavior somewhat explaining Lilys inexcusable behavior, her meddling also hid a secret sweet meaning, making the porch test also a sweet example of Lily, Ted, and Marshalls beautiful friendship through the years.

While undoubtedly meddlesome, Lilys porch test reasons always had Teds best interests at heart, and an idea that Lily and Marshalls future would be shared with Ted and whoever his future wife would have been as its basis in How I Met Your Mother season 4. After all, Lily betting Karens worst impulses would have kicked in after she found Robins earrings interfered with Teds relationship, but she also displayed a keen knowledge of both Ted and Karen, as she knew Ted couldnt have stayed with someone like Karen without being hurt. Lilys How I Met Your Mother season 4, episode 17 meddling only protected Ted in the end.

How I Met Your Mother spent its nine seasons establishing how fundamental Lily, Marshall, and Ted were for each other, showing time and time again how they were there for one another and had been so since their university years. No matter how morally complicated, Lily was motivated to meddle with Teds love life due to a certainty that her and Marshalls old age would have been spent with Ted just as much as their adulthood was. Given that Lily and Marshall were the people who knew Ted better, Lily could likely see what an infatuated Ted couldnt, and while the execution was poor, Lilys heart was always in the right place in HIMYM.

Despite her best intentions, Lilys front porch test was still highly problematic in How I Met Your Mother season 4, episode 17. Indeed, not only did the test emphasize how Lily put herself in a position of moral superiority, given that she acted that way because she was sure that she knew better than Ted, but she also used subterfuge to get what she wanted instead of confronting Ted about it. How I Met Your Mother highlighted Teds proven record of not listening to reason if in love, but that wasnt reason enough for Lily to trick him into getting him to end relationships.

Even if Lilys love for Ted and the certainty that she, Marshall, and Ted would have spent their lives together motivated How I Met Your Mothers front porch test and the subsequent manipulation, good intentions didnt cancel out her appalling actions and lies to Ted. However, unearthing Lilys porch test eventually led to a valuable development because the jig was up, making Ted realize that Karen having a terrible opinion of his lifelong friends mattered. In the end, no matter how problematic, Lilys How I Met Your Mother front porch test had a positive effect on Teds life by making it clear to him what was truly important.

CHELSEA, MI -- Chelsea police are asking for help identifying a man they believe is stealing pride flags from the area.

Two flags symbolizing LGBTQ pride were stolen from front porches in the 400 block of Chandler Street in Chelsea between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12, according to Chelsea police.

A witness reported seeing a smaller black sedan, possibly a Ford Fusion, stop in front of the two residences, police said. A man, one of five individuals in the car, got out of the vehicle and walked up to the porch of the first home. After stealing the flag from its pole, he then walked over to the neighboring residence and stole a second pride flag and pole from the porch.

The suspect then ran back to the vehicle, which fled east on Summit Street toward Main Street.

The incident is believed to be connected with several other pride flag thefts from the past several months.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Tom Gilbreath at 734-475-9122 ext. 107 or leave an anonymous tip at 734-475-9122 ext. 7.

Residents in an Upstate neighborhood are on high alert after fireworks were shot into their yards, porches, and onto their front steps. "It is scary to go to bed not knowing you know if I'm going to be targeted again with a firework and where it's going to end up," said Annie McCuen, a Pebble Creek neighborhood resident.McCuen has lived in the neighborhood for a couple of years, but she says she's never seen anything like this. She says her house was one of several targeted this week. "A bottle rocket that had exploded in my front lawn," she said. "Luckily there was no damage done to my house, but unfortunately, I don't know if everyone else in the neighborhood was as lucky as we were. But I've heard of four other neighbors that have had a similar situation happen to them."Taylors Fire Battalion Chief Ricky Burgess says this time of year can be extremely dangerous. "This time of year, with the wind, the high winds and the dry seasons, this is grass fire season through these three months. They are very dangerous. You've got to be very careful when shooting them off. They don't need to be directed toward any houses." The Taylors Fire Department is still looking into these incidents.
