DMC Outdoor Living provides residential and commercial solutions for landscaping and outdoor living.
"Where do I begin? DMC Outdoor Living company has been an absolute pleas to work with. This company has truly been a blessing to our family and our pool needs! This company came in and did a spectacular job in time and with professionalism daily. Mr. David Brakebill (owner) and his supervisor, Brad have worked with us throughout the entire process, always explaining every step of the way. Before any job was performed, the explanation came first. They were so wonderful in helping out with any pool/paver needs. We were truly new to all of this, but with David help, it was the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. One can understand that contractors sometimes do not say what they are going to do, but DMC OUTDOOR LIVING COMPANY proves that to be wrong. They always came out at the time they said they would be there and always explained the details of the job that day. The place now looks like it came out of a magazine. The most beautiful backyard you’ll ever see, thanks to Mr. David Brakebill (owner) and his team. If I could give this company a 10-stars, this company deserves just that! Also, understand that David and his team came in after the pool was installed and installed all of the pavers, did all of the landscaping, the rock wall, not to mention all of the trees, mulching and over 60 flowers! This company does it all."

Start by asking a local contractor, architect, or interior designer for a detailed line‑item estimate. These pros can price out labor, materials, permits, and any specialty work, then flag areas where you can save. Once you have that breakdown, add 20% to the total to cover potential surprises, such as hidden water damage or code upgrades. This approach gives you a realistic budget before the first hammer swings.
In most cases, remodeling wins on price. Because you’re reusing the existing structure, you avoid foundation work, framing an entire shell, and many permit fees. Unless the home has severe structural problems, updating what you already own is the more budget‑friendly route than building an entirely new house from scratch.
Home renovation timelines hinge on scope. Cosmetic updates—such as new paint, fixtures, or flooring—can be completed in a few days or weeks. A multi-room gut renovation that involves moving walls or utilities can stretch to six months, and adding square footage can push the schedule past a year. Good planning and a clear contractor schedule help keep projects on track, so be sure to build extra time into the calendar for permit reviews and unforeseen repairs.
Before your home renovation work begins, contact your insurance agent to confirm that your current policy covers the project. Standard homeowners insurance usually protects against fire or storm damage during construction, but bigger upgrades—adding square footage, high‑end finishes, or new systems—can raise your home’s value beyond existing limits. If coverage falls short, ask about a renovation rider or a policy increase so you’re fully protected from day one to final walkthrough.
