The Benefits of Cabinet Refacing in Fullerton

If you're considering a kitchen remodel, one of the biggest decisions you'll need to make is what to do with your cabinets. Cabinets can be one of the most expensive parts of a kitchen remodel, but there are ways to update them without breaking the bank. One of the most popular options is cabinet refacing. In this blog post, we'll discuss what cabinet refacing is, the benefits of cabinet refacing, and how to get started with cabinet refacing in Fullerton or Orange County.

What is Cabinet Refacing?

Cabinet refacing OC is the process of updating the exterior of your cabinets without replacing them entirely. During the refacing process, a new veneer is applied to the cabinet boxes and new doors and drawer fronts are installed. The result is a brand new look for your cabinets without the expense and hassle of a full cabinet replacement.

Benefits of Cabinet Refacing

There are several benefits to cabinet refacing fullerton. First and foremost, it's much less expensive than replacing your cabinets entirely. Refacing your cabinets can save you up to 50% of the cost of a full replacement. Additionally, cabinet refacing is much less time-consuming than a full replacement. In most cases, cabinet refacing can be completed in just a few days, whereas a full cabinet replacement can take several weeks. Finally, cabinet refacing is a more sustainable option than a full replacement, as it reduces the amount of waste generated during the remodel.

Getting Started with Cabinet Refacing in Fullerton or Orange County

If you're interested in cabinet refacing in Fullerton or Orange County, the first step is to find a reputable contractor. Look for a contractor who has experience with cabinet refacing and who can provide references and examples of their work. Once you've found a contractor you're comfortable with, they'll come to your home to take measurements and discuss your options. You'll be able to choose from a variety of materials and finishes to customize the look of your cabinets. Once you've made your selections, the contractor will get to work on your cabinet refacing project.

In conclusion, cabinet refacing is a cost-effective, time-saving, and sustainable way to update your kitchen cabinets. If you're considering a kitchen remodel in Fullerton or Orange County, be sure to explore the option of cabinet refacing. With the right contractor, you can transform the look of your kitchen in just a few days, without breaking the bank.

A Look At The Benefits Of Kitchen Remodeling Fullerton

If many years have passed before you did any meaningful renovation work in your kitchen in Fullerton, it is about time you called a remodeling contractor to check it out. Since the kitchen is the heart of your home, you cannot afford having it in bad condition. It is the place where meals are cooked and eaten, when people study, and where family members and friends gather for meaningful conversations. You need to make sure that it is well maintained and looks great.

A kitchen remodeling Fullerton project has the ability to breathe new life in your old kitchen layout. If done properly, one of the things that this project will do is improve the functionality of your home. If your house was built a long time ago, it is likely to have a kitchen with an outdated, claustrophobic layout. You should consider taking down the non-load bearing walls for a more open floor plan. Alternatively, you can relocate appliances to improve the functionality of the kitchen area. For instance, you can opt for an L or U shaped kitchen layout with a single wall of cabinets and center island a close third. This layout will be more practical if you are a home chef. Overall, a kitchen remodeling project can add space to your kitchen, make it easier to use and more organized.

Another thing that kitchen remodeling Fullerton can do is help reduce your energy costs. Unless you already have the latest appliances in your kitchen, you should consider upgrading to Energy Star appliances. If for instance you install an Energy Star dishwasher, you will be able to clean your dishes while using less water and energy. The annual savings that you can get from such a dishwasher are huge.

Didn’t we almost have it

a/n: I heavily suggest listening to Dammit by Jana Kramer while reading this, it is where I got the entire plot from.

dt: to my dear @morcias because who else just loves morcia so much. plus I asked her a million questions to help me figure out details for this.

word count: 3k

content warning: it’s angsty(?) and quite sad but with a very happy ending.

-----

God did Penelope hate driving through Illinois.

The only reason she was coming back was for the bridal shower of a girlfriend from college, otherwise she would’ve stayed in California, where she was at least a good thousand miles away from this place.

All it did was make her nostalgic, almost painfully so. The entire state serving as a physical reminder of her old life. One she had not a chance in hell of getting back.

The urge to race her car to the nearest ‘Leaving Illinois’ sign coming over her yet again, Penelope makes a right turn onto Commonwealth avenue. Christina’s house was only five minutes from where she was.

It was the walkway that first drew her eye. A stone path, small flowers lining it. She could almost hear his heavy footsteps getting louder as he jogs to greet her, meeting Penelope in the middle with a chaste kiss as she hauls grocery bags under her arms, enough food for four. 

As she nears closer, her eyes travel up the length of the two-story building, it’s utter perfectness painfully pressing into her like a stab to the gut. It took every ounce of restraint that she possessed not to slam the brakes and just gawk at the vision in front of her.

That was the house.

The dream house. The one the two of them fantasized about back in college. Penelope can practically see the late nights they spent in her dorm, cramped together on her twin bed, their fingers intertwined. His free hand running over her head, pushing her hair back behind her ear and tilting her into his shoulder. Hushed planning of their happily ever after. She can hear his voice whispering in her ear, about how they would have two perfect daughters. He would be a FBI agent, and she would work for a nonprofit organization. He’d cook, she’d clean, he would take care of the lawn, she’d do the laundry.

That was the plan. Their own special, simple, linear plan.

Until real life happened, essentially taking those plans and throwing it off a cliff. That’s all it was now, a pretty daydream to keep Penelope from having to accept the fact that nothing in her life is going like she hoped, and she’s probably going to end up alone.

None of that stopped her from turning into the lot of the house, the door slightly cracked open. A large ‘For Sale’ sign hung on it. 

Giving her the perfect opportunity to see what she could’ve had. To spend a few fleeting moments dreaming of the life she would’ve had with him.

Finally found that dream house, and yet the dream guy was long gone.

Her hands shakier than she would’ve liked, Penelope slowly steps out of her car, the two story home everything she ever envisioned.

The path up to the house was lined with daffodils, she could see as she passed them. The front door was a smooth dark brown. Solid wood, contrasting with the otherwise creme exterior of the house.

That would’ve been his touch. He always liked that building and renovating stuff, she could almost hear him begging her to let him remodel the place. To really ‘make it their home.’

The entrance didn’t nothing to deter her, the arching ceilings and oak floors straight out of her most vivid dreams. The arches reminded her of college. Charles Deering Memorial Library, to be specific. She had always liked the gothic architecture, and even he could admit that the towering building’s medieval influence was well executed. And that chill day in March, the ninth, to be exact, when they first met. She was working there part-time, and he needed something from the football archives.

It was his smile that drew her in, his eyes drawn up real small as he flashed her two rows of perfect teeth. 

What she would give for one of those smiles right about now.

An embarrassingly loud gasp left her mouth as she walked in further. Ahead of her were a pair of large black couches, perpendicular to each other. A grand fireplace in front of them, an open space perfect for a nice big flat screen.

Hockey. That’s what would be playing. He was huge on the sport, and her mind drifted to an image of the two of them sitting on the couch. Him in a worn out jersey and his lucky socks, her in his beat leather jacket, feet propped up in his lap. She has headphones and her knitting, he has a beer she steals sips of and has a loose grip on her ankle, his fingers pressing against the small tattoo she got the day she turned eighteen. Just like old times.

Without even glimpsing at the side door that led to the kitchen, Penelope could already visualize him sitting on the counter. A soft white tee and some sweatpants, strumming on her ukulele and singing some old 90s ballad off key while she chopped vegetables. Later that night, after their girls went to bed, the two of them dancing together to her parents’ old record player. An old Bee Gees song softly in the background as they sway.

Her mind racing, she’s already thinking of summer barbecues. Her and JJ drinking margaritas in the shade, their children’s laughter bringing a grin to her face. Him talking it up with Rossi about god knows what as he mans the grill. The sun setting as he takes a seat next to her, tugging her into his side and placing a small kiss on the side of her head.

The overwhelming realization that Penelope is never going to get that future, never going to have the future she so desperately wanted with him, hit her harder than ever in that moment.

And next thing she knows she can feel tears running down her cheeks. Alone, in the middle of an open house in the one state, the one city she vowed to never return to, and she’s sobbing like a baby.

“Well Hello Miss!” ,a kind old woman steps out, shocking Penelope back to reality, “You here for the house?”

 “Yes,“ she says softly, hastily wiping at her face,  “Yes I am. Just a quick look around.” Her hands swipe at her dress, trying to regain even a semblance of composure, “You have a beautiful home.”

The woman casts her a sympathetic smile,

“Thank you. Me and Sarah have lived here for over forty years. We raised our five children in these very walls,” the lady beams, a smile coming over her face as she looks around the room, 

“We figured that with them all gone and us not getting any younger, we could downsize just a bit.”

Penelope let out a polite laugh, but stayed silent otherwise.

“You stay for as long as you like! My name’s Carolyn by the way. Let me know if you need anything!”

“Penelope, and thank you,” she smiles at her, Carolyn returning to the back of the house.

Penelope’s eyes catch onto the grand staircase, passing over the perfect crème walls and carpet flooring.

Her feet moved towards it, the view before her so accurate to her vision that it was like somebody reached into her brain and pulled out the design themselves. She needed to have this place.

Right before she can take a step on the stairs, she sees Carolyn return, a dimmed smile on her face.

“I’d like to buy the house,” Penelope states confidently. She couldn’t possibly leave here without having it.

It didn’t matter that she lived across the country, with decent enough friends and a steady job. This was the house, and if she had the chance to get at least one part of the dream, she damn sure was going to take the opportunity.

Carolyn winces, a regretful look on her face. “I’m so sorry Penelope, we just had somebody place an offer for it.”

“Oh,” Penelope’s eyes widen slightly, and she can feel the tears pushing their way to the surface. For just a second, she let herself get entranced by the home, and it hurt more than she was willing to admit that she couldn’t have it.

“Are you looking for a similar house ? There’s one just in Fullerton Road, and I believe it is on sale.”

“No I… I just got caught up,” Penelope waves her hand around the side of her head, her cheeks turning red, “It’s okay, an amazing family deserves this home.”

“Actually, the young man who purchased the place is with Sarah in the back right now. He’s already thinking of renovating the place.”

“Sounds great,” Penelope mused, wanting to be anywhere but here. At least a loving family is getting this house. She just hoped they were as happy as she once imagined she would be.

“Here they are,“  Carolyn announces, adding to Penelope’s discomfort. She had to leave, and fast. The last thing she wanted to see was the happy husband who bought this place to catch her, essentially a random stranger, crying in his kitchen.

“Is your family nearby? Why didn’t they come?” A woman, Penelope could only assume was Sarah, Carolyn’s wife, was talking to the new owner of the house. Penelope stiffened, the awkwardness of the situation palpable.

A deep laugh comes from the other person, and she could hear the two people approaching. “Nope, I’m a single man.”

“What the hell did you need such a big house for then?” Sarah quips.

“Just,” the guy takes a resigned breath, “Just wishful thinking I guess.“

Penelope could hear her heartbeats, the sound thrumming loudly in her ears. She shut her eyes, squeezing them to the point of something akin to pain. This couldn’t be happening. This could just be a terrible dream, and when she opened them, she would be waking up in her apartment. Back home, where she was away from her old life here. Safely away from the love of her life, whose voice she just heard for the first time in five years.

“Sarah, this is Penelope. She just stopped by to look at the house.”

Penelope reluctantly turns, peeling her eyes open. To her disappointment, she was still standing in the swept sold house. Still back in her college town.

Still right in front of her ex-fiancé, one she’s just as irrevocably in love with as she was the day he proposed.

“Derek,” she lets out quietly, drinking in everything about him. He’s only gotten better-looking, and Penelope has always been attracted to him.

It was his face, his eyes to be specific, that captured her in this moment.

Because instead of the resentment and anger she had expected, she had deserved, all that was there was a small shimmer of hope. A sliver of hope that she almost cried tears of relief at seeing. Hope she had given up on ever having until she saw it in his face. The same look reflected in her own eyes.

“Penelope.” 

His voice usually stern, she can hear the small waver in his tone. Like he’s just as affected by her as she is him.

Even after all these years, she can’t help but melt when it comes to Derek. It was like her innermost self just knew him, recognized that he, no matter how far apart they were, was always going to have a part of her heart. A power over her that she would never give to any other person.

Yet looking into Derek’s eyes, the only man to ever capture her heart, Penelope could’ve sworn he was feeling the same way she did.

“So, um, we’ll just leave you two for now,”  Carolyn’s eyes clearly wide as she drags her wife outside of the kitchen, leaving the pair alone together.

Derek walks a couple steps closer to her, the smell of nice cologne wafting to her nose as he moves near.

He opened his mouth, almost as if he were about to start speaking, but Penelope catches his small sigh and the twitch of his hands.

They were so close, closer than they had been in years, yet that short distance felt wider than the thousands of miles she had made sure to have between them for the past half a decade.

The lack of touch. That’s what was halting them.

They were always touching one another. It was an unspoken language, just for the two of them to understand. 

To be so close yet not touching, it felt so inorganic to Penelope, so abnormal.

Penelope looks just a little off to the right of him, his presence too overwhelming. He was examining her, and the quiet was anxious.

“Why didn’t you take the ring?” Derek spits out, his low voice subdued by the hurt she could just hear in his voice. “ I could handle how you left, no note or calls. But you left me your ring Penelope.”

She thought she was prepared for this, the anger he would have for her. But hearing the words in real time, from Derek himself, made her stomach turn. A ball of nausea tossed in her stomach, Derek’s pain something that never failed to physically wound Penelope.

“Derek...,” her heart breaking at how much she affected him.

“Did I,” he pauses, sucking in a shallow breath, “Did we mean that little to you?”

“No.” She locks onto his eyes at that, holding his stare. “You- us, that was everything to me.” A fierceness was in her voice that shocked her, and at the look of his slightly widened stare, she wasn’t the only one. The idea that Derek for a second could fathom the idea that he wasn’t the love of her life, her soulmate, was a stake to the heart.

“Was it marriage? Was it not wanting to be married? Because you could’ve told me.”

Surprising her own self, she moves in a half-step, her hands enclosing one of Derek’s clenched ones. Her fingers act on instinct, sliding through his, rubbing her thumb on the back of his index finger. Five years and his fingers still naturally close around hers .

Her teeth firmly sunk into the flesh on the back of her lip, she peers up at Derek, his expression unreadable. He was always better at the reading people thing, it was like second nature to him.

“I promise you, Derek Morgan, there is nothing I have ever wanted more than to marry you.”

Feeling his hand tighten around hers, glancing up to see his brows pulling together, she pushes on, needing to express to him her every feeling. “ You didn’t deserve what I did, and there hasn’t been a day that’s gone by when I didn’t feel like the luckiest person in the world to have such an amazing guy.”

“ I am so,” words that she’s been practicing for years suddenly getting clogged in her throat, making every word come out like a croak, “ so sorry for ever hurting you.”

Tears burning behind her eyes, nothing stuns her more than when Derek cups her face, his large palm enclosing her cheek as he runs his fingers lightly through her hair. 

“Is it the house?”

Taken aback, Penelope jolts her head upward. “What?”

His hand now on her shoulder, he turns her to the right, giving her a wider view of the home.

“Is it the right house?”

“It’s the perfect house.” Her voice trailing off at the end.

She faces Derek, his lips pressed together like he’s trying not to say something.

“We could- we could still have it.” His eyes looking at their hands, in a way that was so unlike him, Penelope didn’t dare try to assume anything about what his words meant.

“Have what?” her attempt to keep her voice even failing miserably. Averting his stare, her eyes land on his neck, where a thin gold chain rests.

A chain that had something that looked dangerously similar to a ring hidden under his shirt.

He looks to where she’s staring, a bald-faced look on her face, and his fingers pull out the necklace to reveal a gold wedding band. The one she bought for him, with the special engraving on the inside.

Through the tears rapidly coming to her eyes, she could see Derek’s face. And the vulnerability and love that shined from him to her 

Because he kept it. Even in his clear anger and hurt, the heartbreak she put him in, he kept her ring. 

“The plan.” Derek reaches behind his neck, his fingers reaching to the clasp of the necklace. “The big wedding, the two girls,” He slides the ring off of the chain, twirling it round in his hand. “Our dream.” He finally places the ring in her hands, gently closing her fingers around it.

Her mouth falling slightly open, Penelope slowly blinks three times. The words that just came out of his mouth so unbelievable that her brain was taking some time to catch up. She pulls her lip sideways into her mouth, too nervous to say anything.

His hands come up on each side of her face, a tender clasp that lets him turn her head up towards him.

“I never gave up on you, on us.” He lets out a sad laugh, “ Hell, I’m here about to buy a house just to try and get a piece of that dream.”

Penelope bobs her head slightly back, the shock of what’s happening still getting to her. “You really still want it?”

And Derek, bless his sweet soul, just looks at her with a small smile resting on his lips. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing babygirl,” the sound of his old nickname for her better than anything she’s heard the last few years, “that I want more than to be with you for the rest of my life.”

A matching smile coming to her mouth, she brings Derek’s left hand down to her own, and slides the wedding band on to his ring finger.

A soft cry breaks from her lips, and she feels nothing other than pure joy when he leans down, taking her lips in a sweet kiss.

Maybe, just maybe, they can have it after all.

The Benefits of Quartz Countertops Fullerton

When it comes to the countertops that you can install in your kitchen in Fullerton during an upcoming remodel, one of the options you should consider is quartz countertops Fullerton. There are various reasons why quartz countertops are the ideal countertop surface to use in your kitchen. The following are some of them.

First of all, with is quartz countertops, you have a wide variety of colors to choose from. Since the choice of available color pigments that can be used in the manufacturing process is virtually unlimited, quartz countertops are available in a wide range of colors, from leaf green and fire red to earthy browns, creams and blacks, with speckles and veining that resemble the look of marble or granite. Whether you like colors that are bold, bright, and strong or colors that are soft, muted, and warm, you can have your quartz countertop match your preferences exactly. Additionally, when choose quartz countertops, you will be able to easily coordinate the color of the countertops with the rest of your home décor.

Another benefit of choosing quartz countertops Fullerton is that they feature uniform patterns. Natural stones have random patterning, so when you purchase slabs of granite or soapstone, for instance, there may be great variations in the color pattern from slab to slab, as well as from one end of the slab to the other. With quartz countertops, you will have a consistent color pattern throughout the entire surface because quartz can be crafted with a controlled appearance. The manufacturer of these countertops can control the production process to make sure that the slab has the exact color, texture as well as pattern that you like.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation In Renovations

When you are remodeling your kitchen, one of the most important aspects of the overall appearance will be the Fullerton kitchen cabinets. That means that cabinet installation needs to be done right. If you have decided to do the project right, make sure you know everything you need to know before beginning the job. Even if you hire someone to do your cabinet installation, it is a good idea to know how the process works so you can oversee the job.

If you decide not to hire a professional, make sure you understand how to do cabinet installation before you commit because it does take quite a few skills and many basic tools. You will need to be very precise in order to ensure that the cabinets will work well for years to come.

The first wall and the base cabinets are key to the rest of the installation. If those first items are installed level from both side to side and front to back, the other cabinets will fall into line much more easily. If you have the option, start with the wall-mounted cabinets so the base cabinets are not in the way.

If you are replacing old kitchen cabinets, you will want to remove the old products carefully.  Do not just go crazy and yank them all down. If you remove them carefully, you will not damage the wall behind them. Any wall damage can prevent you from taking the needed measurements for the new cabinets. The best way to remove the cabinets is to take off all of the doors, pull out all of the drawers, and remove any shelves. Then, you will need to remove the cabinet frame from the wall. Most frames are mounted in the back with screws or nails which you can pull out.  If you have upper cabinets, make sure someone is helping you. One person will need to hold the cabinet while the other pulls out the screws one by one.

Once the old cabinets have been removed, you can do any measuring and fix any walls that need it. You will need to have a level and pencil available at all times and stud locaters also come in handy. You will also need a cordless drill, drill bits, wood or cabinet screws, a cordless screwdriver, a measuring tape, shims and plenty of time and patience.

If things are not going your way, you can always run over to your local home improvement store to ask questions. The staff members on site should be able to give you enough directions to finish the job.  You can also always hire a professional if you find that cabinet installation is above your level of home improvement skills. When you are talking about kitchen cabinets that are going to be a part of your home for the long haul, it really is in your best interest to have them installed correctly by professionals who know what they are doing. These professionals come with guarantees and insurance that can help back you up even further.

A mall can’t catch a virus, but COVID-19 still could kill hundreds of U.S. shopping centers if vacancy rates keep rising, a recent report by Barclays Investment Bank said.

“Retailers have been losing foot traffic for years as e-commerce takes an increasing share of sales,” Barclays reported. “COVID-19 has sharply accelerated this trend.”

Fifteen percent of mall stores have closed this year, the report says. If that trend persists, 15-17% of malls will fail and may need to be redeveloped for other uses.

And the most likely uses — such as low-density residential or e-commerce warehouses — won’t be as valuable as the former malls, impacting local government revenue.

We asked retail consultant Greg Stoffel how that trend is playing out in Southern California.

Q: What happens to ghost malls after the shoppers vanish?

A: In many cases, these malls are poorly located, out of the mainstream and have succumbed over time to centers that are better located and have better quality stores, restaurants and anchors.

Even before COVID-19, and before online shopping became prominent, there were too many shopping centers of all kinds relative to actual buying power in most market areas. Over time, many of these centers tend to lose quality tenants and replace them with tenants who lack the ability to generate customer traffic.

Q: What Southern California malls already have been or are being redeveloped?

A: Indio Fashion Mall, Hawthorne Plaza Mall, the Carousel Mall in San Bernardino, The Quad and Whittwood malls in Whittier, Laguna Hills Mall (which is being rebranded as the Village at Laguna Hills), Valley Plaza in North Hollywood, The City Shopping Center in Orange (which became The Block at Orange and then re-positioned as The Outlets at Orange), and Riverside Plaza.

Q: How are they are being reused?

A: Most owners and potential developers look to a combination of non-retail uses. This includes residential, office, mixed-use developments, fulfillment centers, etc., that include a little of everything like retail, dining and entertainment.

A good example is Westminster Downtown in Westminster, Colorado. What was a ghost mall was largely demolished and is now being re-developed as a mixed-use downtown with residential, hotels and offices with dining, entertainment and retail on the ground floor.

Q: How are redeveloped malls in our region being reused?

A: The Village at Laguna Hills (briefly called the Five Lagunas) will be the most dramatic. The mix will include a hotel, office space, apartments and retail and dining and a large movie theatre (depending on the future of movie-going).

Hawthorne Plaza closed in 1999 and still sits empty. Various plans have been proposed for the property but nothing has happened so far.

Riverside Plaza was originally an open-air center that was remodeled into an enclosed center. Due to department store closures, the center was remodeled into an open-air center again. Today it has Trader Joe’s, Vons Grocery, Regal Cinemas, Nordstrom Rack and several restaurants.

Q: Which Southern California Malls are at most risk of closing due to COVID-19?

A: I am not sure that any malls would close based only on the impact of COVID-19. The pandemic may accelerate the demise of a center or two, but there were likely already problems in generating sufficient sales.

Q: Barclays said some of the new developments aren’t as valuable as malls, with valuations dropping 60-90%. Is that the case here?

A: If a bad mall can’t be redeveloped with a mixture of uses, yes the property values will decline.

This decline was likely already in process with taxable sales declining due to changing consumer preferences and patronage patterns. Cities are trying to hold on to whatever taxable sales can be generated and sometimes have unrealistic ideas on what a property can generate in the future.

Q: Looking 10 to 20 years down the road, will malls like South Coast Plaza, Fashion Island, the Beverly Center and Ontario Mills still be around? If so, how will they be different than today?

A: Most malls will need to downsize their retail space as customer shopping patterns continue to evolve. There will be more of a premium on experience as well as unique merchandise.

Millennials will be older and Gen Z customers will have a big influence on shopping, dining and entertainment trends.

Larger, well-located premier malls will modify their tenant mix over time to include even more diverse tenant types. This will continue to be at the expense of lesser quality centers.

Centers like Fashion Island and Irvine Spectrum Center should be able to evolve as they offer outdoor environments and have the ability to offer a diverse range of authentic experiences and social interactions.

Larger upscale enclosed centers like South Coast Plaza and Beverly Center will likely need to reduce their retail footprint over time as upscale retailers evolve their business models to combine online and in-store retailing.

How To Determine The Real Cost of a Fixer Upper Property in Fullerton

Purchasing a fixer-upper property is an excellent way to create quick profits on a Fullerton property investment.  Before you buy, ensure you recognize the true cost of a fixer-upper property in Fullerton.  In our latest post, we explore the expenses so that you will know exactly what to prepare for.

Fixer-upper properties are a huge attraction for both novice and experienced investors.  They can be an exceptional way to achieve high ROI or find a home you can customize and renovate in almost any way you see fit.  While investors all over the country flock to these kinds of properties, it's necessary to have a grasp on the true costs you are likely to face.  Below, we discuss these costs and how to plan ahead so that you don't find yourself in over your head.

Costs to Take into Account 

Permit Costs

On average, homeowners spend over $1,000 on building permits.  The prices vary depending on the project, but you can expect to pay a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on your location and the scope of the job being done. Financing Costs

Fixer upper properties can be purchased using an FHA 203(k) rehabilitation loan or a Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation mortgage.  These loans come with a reserve that's put into escrow so as to fund renovations.  While these loans are amazing for larger projects, they might be ideal when only tiny repairs are needed.  You may face loan origination costs, a down payment of around 5 percent down,  as well as any other administrative costs. Repair Costs

Obviously, the repair costs will need to be factored in before you purchase.  Kitchen renovations can be upwards of $20,000 but may vary widely depending on appliances, cabinetry, types of materials and more.  Floors can run about $5,000 depending on the type of flooring used and how much space you will need to cover.  A new bathroom remodel will run you at least $5,000 and any structural issues may wind up costing tens of thousands of dollars.  If repairs are in surplus, you might want to work with the vendor to fix a few things beforehand or give you a credit toward repairs. Planning Ahead, How Much Should You Pay?

In the simplest terms, you should calculate the value of the home if it didn't require any work, then deduct the cost of repairs.  To calculate the potential value of the property in question, take a look at what other properties in the region have recently sold for.  While these possessions won't likely be fixer-uppers, it will give you a great idea of your property's potential.  Once you've established a CMA for your property, you will have to assess your repair costs. Estimates Before A Purchase

Tour the property with your contractor to get quotes on the required repairs. This will help to make sure the property you wish to buy will be profitable for you in the long run.  A contractor will be able to see things you might not, ultimately saving you thousands of dollars later on. Padding Your Budget

Once you determine what you can pay and what the required repairs are going to cost, you'll want to pad your budget a little to get ready for any surprises you may confront.  A good rule of thumb is to set aside at least 15-20% for unexpected costs.  These prices can be for things like extra repairs you weren't aware of, more labour needed than previously thought, or extra permit or administrative costs that were not planned for.  Almost every project goes over budget, but if you plan ahead, you won't have to.
