One Handy Haole is the most reliable and dedicated home remodeling contractor in Makawao, Hawaii. We have got the experience, the commitment, and the expertise!

Throughout our many years of offering quality work and results with remodeling and renovation, potential clients more or less ask the same question: "Which is better? Remodeling our house or just buying up a new home and hoping the old one sells well?"

You could always do both, but if you had to choose one—remodeling is by far much cheaper and preferable in the long term. Provided you aren't actually looking for a new place to stay, of course. Regardless, there are plenty of reasons why homeowners find themselves in this particular predicament, but it is our foundational belief that whatever our clients want, we have got to deliver above and beyond.

But if you want to have some remodeling done in your home, and you aren't really sure what needs to be done—only that there has got to be some changes made, One Handy Haole has got some ideas for you:

A Fresh Coat of Paint

A simple way of remodeling your home is to give your dull, muted walls a new and refreshing makeover; basically, add a fresh coat of paint to your drab facades. Most homeowners think it's all about the details and focus on beautifying their spaces with appliances and other paraphernalia, but what they fail to consider is the bigger picture—by simply changing the color of the room or reapplying another coat of paint, everything is altered!

Bathroom Caulk Update

Caulking is an important part of developing interior spaces and protecting your surfaces, e.g., walls, tiles, floors, etc.; it is vital to preventing the growth of mold and the accumulation of moisture. So, when the edges start to turn brown and stiff, it is probably time to take them all out and add a new layer. Reapplied caulking also brings the added benefit of giving the room the feeling of "newness."

Ceiling Fan Additions

Unlike bulkier air-conditioning systems, fan installations are a relatively simple and easy operation. And unlike air-conditioning systems, they don't really take up that much space and are more cost-effective with energy. During the summers, fans help bring in the coolness, while during the winters, they help keep heat in via circulation. Aesthetically, fans bring focus to one point in the room and, depending on the style and make, add character to a room.

Deck Renovation

Like everything inside the house, age and time wear everything down. The floor, especially if it's made up of tiles, may last longer, but anything else needs regular upkeep and maintenance.

A good example is a deck installation.

Some homeowners purposefully neglect their decks, thinking that it doesn't really matter if it's presentable or not, but the presence of a deck can greatly contribute to a house's property value while providing a new platform for your house that can serve as a trendy extension.

Green Insulation

The topmost consideration that homeowners have when deciding whether or not to engage in a remodeling project is always the cost and the maintenance it takes to keep the new additions or replacements up and ready. A solution to this that is quickly growing popular is to take advantage of eco-friendly solutions.

By using green products and methods, a homeowner can contribute to the broader community while cutting down on long-term maintenance costs.

Refurbished Doorways

The most overlooked aspect of remodeling work, and houses in general, really, are doorways: the entrance to the homes and, probably, the first thing anyone sees before entering. While doorways might look unchanging inside, outside can be a bit different. This is because the exterior side experiences constant weathering from the elements.

So, a point of consideration homeowners can take to provide effective and lasting alterations is to do remodeling work to their doorways.
