Two lofts were combined by the Steve Hood Company through this common gallery and entertainment center, utilizing a “nuage” (French for cloud) on the ceiling that conceals the mechanical, electrical and lighting systems. Flooring is ebonized oak.

The quality of the service the remodeler provides will

determine the quality of the finished product and your satisfaction.

Make sure noisy power tools are only used during standard business hours. Reasonable hours are 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Inform your neighbors of any large trucks entering the neighborhood and ask subcontractors to park on one side of the street only. Try your best to have materials dropped off in your driveway or yard rather than the street, and keep your yard as tidy as possible. Watch for debris that might find its way onto your neighbors’ yards, especially if a roofing project is involved.

Remove dumpsters as quickly as possible. If you have room left in your last dumpster, invite neighbors to dump anything they might

have lurking in their garage that needs tossing.

If the neighbors are unhappy with an aspect of your project, promptly visit them to apologize. Consider bringing a peace offering such as brownies or muffins. When your project is complete, show your neighbors your appreciation by throwing them a party. You can thank them for their patience and proudly show off your remodeled home.

Home Maintenance: Finally, now that you’ve gone though the time, energy and expense of upgrading your home you want to keep it in top shape. For maintenance tips, go to www.nahb.org. l
