Kevin Buckley Builders Reports an Up-tick in the Atlanta Home Remodeling Market

    ATLANTA, GA, March 31, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kevin Buckley Builders, an Atlanta home remodeling and building firm, reports that over the past 6 months they have experienced an increase in large home remodeling projects. They have also seen an up-tick in new home construction in the area. This account is in comparison to the previous year or two where, due to the economy, there was a large decrease in Atlanta home remodeling projects.

In the past Kevin Buckley Builders had found themselves bidding on many projects where ultimately the homeowner would elect to not complete the project or put it on hold. Now, in the past 6 months many of these postponed Atlanta remodeling projects are being revisited by the homeowners. In addition, the Atlanta remodeler has also found that many luxuries that were being left out of projects before, such as extensive trim packages, faux finishing, high end tile work, and luxury plumbing options, are now either being included in the initial construction plans or budgeted in as a phase two of the project.

Kevin Buckley, owner of the Atlanta and Alpharetta remodeling company, explains, "I have spoken to a number of other Atlanta remodeling contractors and subs. Many of them have told me that they are experiencing an increase in steady work. This is opposed to only working on average two to three days a week last year." Buckley continues on to say, "I have also noticed lately that potential clients are more committed to doing a project then they were a year or two ago." During that time it was common for the Atlanta home remodeler to have a prospect say, "We may or may not do this project depending on my job," or say, "we just want an idea of what this would cost".

In addition to speaking with other Atlanta home remodeling contractors, Buckley also recently consulted with his permit expediter, Joel Ingram, from The Permit Specialists on this subject. Ingram takes care of permitting for Kevin Buckley Builders as well as many other Atlanta remodelers and builders. Ingram indicated that they have been busy in 2010. This includes providing permits for new single family homes scheduled to begin construction in the coming months.
Cost and value issues still have to be addressed by Kevin Buckley Builders, a premier Atlanta home remodeler. However, they are happy to report less out of control bidding situations than seen in the previous year. Kevin Buckley Builders would sometimes see bids from other Atlanta remodeling contractors who would submit a quote to the homeowner to do a job for less than the cost of doing the project.

This strategy is sometimes executed as a way to maintain some cash flow into the company. However, in the long term most of these firms end up going out of business. These days Kevin Buckley Builders is finding themselves up against more reasonable bids from reputable shops.
