Communication paves way for home remodeling

One of the best remodeling tools is available at no cost.

Just ask, said Curt Severson of Chippewa Valley Siding, Roofing Supply Co. of Chippewa Falls.

Ask as many questions as possible, Severson said. With the scope of a remodeling project, two-way communication is key.

Talking about the project helps. So does making the right decision.

Dennis Reiter of Reiter Construction of Eau Claire remembers working on a house in Chippewa Falls that had a spiral stairway. While the spiral stairway was functional, it didnt strike a chord with would-be buyers of the home.

We put a staircase in that (house) and it sold immediately, Reiter said.

He said as of this week he was in the middle of a couple of remodeling jobs. One is an addition to an existing home and the other is a bathroom remodeling.

Which means a barrier-free shower, he said.

Reiter tackles remodeling work by taking measurements of the house, and drawing plans or even making mock-ups of his design.
