Today, more homeowners are staying in place in their homes. To do so comfortably, they are customizing their homes, adding technology, and introducing green building practices into the mix.

Remodeling can net ROI, return on investment, when it comes time to sell too. Some of the improvements that can add value to a home include updating bathrooms and the kitchen, building custom closets and finishing basements.

Basements are becoming great spaces—from media rooms to workout rooms. Heightened ceilings (some 14 ft high) make basements evermore useful.
