Remodeling doesn't just change your home. It changes your life, especially if you stay in your house during the remodel. 

Don't spend fall cooped up inside your home. Make your season memorable by getting outside to enjoy the cooler weather and exploring the fun things to do in Connecticut in autumn. 

If you want to choose the right professional for your Fairfield home remodeling or custom build, it helps to understand your options — and a design and build company is one of the best around. The benefits of design-build are numerous (we'll get to those further down). But first, let's establish a design-build definition. 

Finding a place to spend the day the whole family enjoys is more complex than it sounds. You need somewhere with a range of activities to keep everyone interested. Easy access to food, bathrooms, changing areas, showers, and lounges are a plus too. Even better if there’s a thriving community to welcome you and show you the ropes. It also has to be close to your home. Scenic Connecticut drives might be enjoyable from time to time, but spending the extra time and gas would get old after a while. 

Kitchen remodeling is a massive investment, and it’s not something you take lightly. You have to be well informed to avoid mistakes and make the right decisions for your family, home, lifestyle, and budget. Looking at the average renovation costs for a new kitchen in Fairfield County gives you the information you need to build the foundation of your project and find success. Let’s take a look! 

Fairfield, Connecticut is a great place to live. It’s located along five miles of Long Island Sound shoreline and maintains a charming small-town feel while just 50 miles outside of bustling New York City. Admittedly, we at Raymond Design Builders are a bit biased (after all, we’ve been doing work in the community since 1998). But odds are, if you’re reading this article, you already know how great Fairfield is. We’re here to talk about what else the Constitution State has to offer. 

A swimming pool can be a fantastic addition to your home. It increases your home's value, improves the usability of your backyard, and makes the summertime infinitely more fun — plus, it’s great for having friends or family over! However, a pool can be a big commitment and, if you’re thinking about installing one, you likely have lots of questions you need answered before you make a decision. As a Fairfield construction company, Raymond Design Builders has helped more than our fair share of homeowners through the pool-buying process. So, let’s go over some of the most common questions we get asked:

Are you tired of living in your home the way it is? Do you get stress from walking into each room and seeing all the problems? Your house might be a good candidate for a complete remodel. Whole-home remodeling can be a great choice to fix multiple problems at once and ensure that your home style feels consistent between rooms. It’s an expensive project, so you might want to know more about the cost before you start planning. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Are you thinking about renovating your home or perhaps you just want to add an addition? If so, you probably have some questions first. So let’s talk about the most commonly asked questions and go over some prices.

Are you considering remodeling your house in the coming year? Our Fairfield construction pros are happy to help!
