No two homes or the families that live in them have exactly the same personality and color is not only a wonderful way to showcase your home but also to express your family's personal style. We at Upgrade Builders will help you choose the right colors for any of your home rooms while matching it to the room environment (furniture, windows, flooring and more).

> Flooring

Hardwood flooring has become more preferable as a flooring choice for homeowners. Through improvements in hardwood manufacturing and finishing processes, hardwood flooring manufacturers are able to produce wood floors that are more durable and appropriate for a variety of indoor environments.

> Acoustic Ceiling Removal

Popcorn ceiling removal (technically known as acoustic ceilings) and replacement with a knock-down or smooth wall texturing is one of the must do items in any rehab project. Scraping off your popcorn ceilings can provide a very visible, and therefore profitable upgrade to your home or flip project. This “popcorn ceiling texture” may have been in style 30 years ago but today make any home appear dated and provide a breeding ground for spiders and dust mites. Because these popcorn ceilings are basically a mixture of drywall joint compound with bits of Styrofoam sprayed onto the drywall board they also tend to release small but noticeable amounts of dust throughout their life.

> Re-pipe

The plumbing systems in most homes, particularly older homes use galvanized piping. These are essentially iron pipes coated (or galvanized) with zinc. In time this coating deteriorates and wears off exposing the iron which then rusts and clogs the flow of water. This rust builds up inside the pipes and causes the build-up of foreign material throughout the system. 

> Stucco & Tex-Cote

Upgrade Builders offer homeowners one of today's most reliable and beautiful solutions to protecting their home's exterior – TEX •COTE®. Not only is TEX•COTE® SUPER•COTE™ 10 times thicker on average than ordinary paint, it also contains special reflective pigments - the same type of pigments used by the U.S. government to cool ships, and provide both reflectivity and reduced radar signature in Stealth bombers.

> Decks

After years of decorating the interior of their homes, Californians are turning their energy outside to create outdoor spaces for relaxing and entertaining. This shift reflects a new lifestyle – outdoor living – that extends beyond a home’s traditional walls. Many people choose a deck because of the value it brings to a home. According to Remodeling Magazine’s “2005 Cost vs. Value Report,” which was included in the November issue, the national average for a deck addition recoups more than 90 percent of the project cost upon resale. 

> Roofing

An Upgrade Builders professional will provide you with all the necessary information regarding your new or remodeled roof, so you can make the right decision for you and your family.

> Driveways

Driveways can be as individualized as the home they offer entrance to. From brick to concrete to asphalt, driveways can be constructed of a variety of durable materials. If you are considering a new driveway or are building a new home and selecting the driveway you want to install, you have several options. While your options are somewhat limited by budget and structural preferences, you can have most any style of driveway you choose. Whatever style and construction material you choose for your driveway, be sure that it provides adequate entrance and parking for your household. If you have several vehicles, you may want to include an extra parking pad to one side. You want to be sure the design fits both your house and your street. Any type of building material is suitable, provided the driveway is properly installed and you are willing to provide the necessary maintenance to keep it looking good.

> Patio Cover

Patio covers are the answer to keeping the fun outside, even when the sun is not shining. Enjoy the outside of your home without being forced indoors by weather. The patio site says a lot about the opportunity of patio covers. The style your patio covers create are only limited to your imagination. With the selection of patio covers on the market, finding the type that suits your needs will not be difficult. Whether you just want a roof over your head, or a style defining structure there are plenty of choices for you to sort through. 

> Room Addition

When lack of space becomes a big problem there are two options: buy a new home or add an addition. An addition can be the extra space you need for a variety of things: family room, home office, extra bedroom, master bedroom & bathroom, kitchen, …whatever you can imagine. Although the idea of a major remodeling project, such as building an addition, may feel overwhelming, in most cases it is far more cost effective than moving and maintains stability in the family life.

> Garage Renovation

Convert your garage to create an extra room that you can actually use! Unfortunately, many modern garages barely have enough space inside to open the doors of a normal car. As a result, most people park their car on the street, and use their garage as an expensive storage room. With house prices in the U.S. edging ever higher and the cost and disruption of moving sometimes being unthinkable, what could be more convenient than being able to convert your garage into an extra living space? The value of this garage conversion would also increase over time in line with property prices. A professional garage conversion, carried out and project managed by Upgrade Builders will turn your garage into a useful part of the house that will enrich your life and increase the value of your property.
