Thanks for contacting Surf Side Construction & Renovation, LLC, we have been specializing in residential construction for over 26 years. We have the experience and the knowledge to get the job done right the first time. The next time you need help call Surf Side Construction & Renovation, LLC, to see what we can do for you.
"This husband and wife team is first rate. We had a banking issue at the start of our project. They could have easily said it wasn't their responsibility to help me retrieve the money, but they didn't. They created a loyal customer as a result. And the work quality was second to none. I got quotes from two other providers but theirs was the best in terms of scope definition and price. The only thing I would like to see is more responsive comms, but I also understand how hard it is to balance "front office" work with the project work for a small business. And David works 7 days a week. If he makes a project commitment, he keeps it. They are delightful people who I am looking forward to working with again."

I come from a family of builders, developers, remodelers, electricians, appraisers, realtors, and many other trades in the building industry. My father, who taught me the trades, is a master developer, architect, designer, and builder. He has some of the highest-selling properties in my hometown in California. I grew up working alongside him and other family members framing, building new houses, and renovating old ones. I have served in the military for 18 years and throughout my service I made extra money for my family by buying and renovating properties. Working in both renovations and new construction has allowed me to do almost all aspects of construction, home repair, renovation, structural re-engineering, and design. Due to my background, I see and approach projects from an aesthetic, builders, and renovators mindset. This allows me to find ways to make any ideas or projects you have in mind come to life for an affordable price whereas others will simply tell you what they can or can’t do based on convenience and not desired outcome. I am a builder who can do everything from the ground up, which saves you significant time and money because I can complete a project autonomously without the need for multiple subcontractors. If I don’t have experience in something unique you’d like to build I am willing to learn and figure it out as I go. I love designing and building beautiful homes and tackling difficult projects that take complex problem-solving to complete. I have three sons, whom I love and cherish with all my heart. I love being a father and have been extremely thankful to have been able to build my sons' halfpipes, obstacle courses, tree forts, and, currently, an indoor climatized basketball/sports gymnasium, or Barnasium, as we have been calling it. I love discussing and thinking through creative projects and solutions of any kind so if you have any ideas or projects you've been thinking about, call me and let's brainstorm and talk.

"Chad came out, and we had a great conversation about our project. We were very excited to work with him, and he said it would be a week or so to get back to us with a quote. After 4 weeks, I combed my email for anything I might have missed. Neither of us had an email or a VM. I sent a follow-up email, but nothing. I called and left a VM, but nothing again. We got ghosted, and it hurts. Is it so hard to just email? 'Hey, thank you for the opportunity, but we have decided to pass on your project.'"

The 30% rule serves as a guideline suggesting that renovation costs should not exceed 30% of your home's current market value. This principle helps prevent over-investing in improvements that the market may not fully reward upon resale.
For example, if your property is valued at $200,000, keeping your renovation budget under $60,000 provides better financial returns. However, this rule should be balanced with your personal goals and how long you plan to remain in the home.
A $50,000 budget can effectively transform several spaces if carefully allocated. This amount covers a moderate kitchen refresh combined with a bathroom update, or several less complex rooms like bedrooms and living areas.
Your geographic location, material choices, and the extent of structural changes significantly impact what this budget can accomplish. Focusing on cosmetic improvements rather than major layout changes helps maximize your investment across multiple spaces.
Labor constitutes the largest expense in multi-room remodels, accounting for 40% to 70% of total costs. Kitchen and bathroom spaces demand the highest investment due to their specialized fixtures, cabinetry requirements, and necessary plumbing work.
Premium materials such as natural stone countertops, hardwood flooring, and custom cabinetry also significantly increase project costs. Strategic budgeting that balances splurges and savings helps manage these high-cost elements effectively.
Most multi-room remodeling projects require three to six months from start to completion, though complex renovations may extend longer. The process follows a necessary sequence of demolition, structural work, mechanical rough-ins, finishing, and final detailing.
Timeline variables include material availability, contractor scheduling, inspection delays, and unexpected conditions discovered during construction. Establishing clear communication with your contractor and making prompt decisions helps maintain momentum throughout the project.
Begin with foundational and structural modifications that affect multiple spaces before progressing to individual rooms. Address "wet" areas like kitchens and bathrooms next, as these involve the most complex work with plumbing and specialized installations. Complete bedrooms and living spaces last to prevent damage to newly finished areas.
This logical progression minimizes redundant work and creates at least one functional living zone throughout the renovation process. Coordinating related work across different spaces also improves efficiency and potentially reduces costs.
