RSVP: Remodeling and Home Additions – Part I

Our children in the Courtyard. Justin Penn, center, is a Project Manager at Penn Homes.

At Penn Homes, we consider it an honor and privilege to be invited into your home. What do I mean by ‘invited’ into your home? You know…’invited.’ Invited to come and look at your home to discuss remodeling, renovation or a home addition. I get an adrenaline rush when I walk in the front door — endless possibilities. I love it! Mike is the more analytical one who can turn the dream into reality, but I love the creative side.

For the first 15 years of our marriage, Mike and I lived in two new homes built by Penn Homes. I loved them both, but I was interested in the challenge of taking an older home and customizing it for my family’s specific needs. As I type this blog, I’m sitting at my kitchen table (the hub of every home) looking out a beautiful window into a koi and goldfish-filled pond. The pond is situated in a beautiful courtyard with mondo grass nestled between blue stone pavers. The iron fence and gate surrounding the courtyard were re-claimed from an estate down the street. It’s the quiet place you’ll find us most afternoons after a long day at the office. Simply beautiful…

I’ve often been asked how did we decide what to do. What can you do to a home that gives the most return on your investment? What is the most value-added enhancement to a home? How did we have the vision? Over the next few weeks, I’ll blog about the renovation of our home and different remodeling and home addition projects for others that have been crafted by Penn Homes. I’ll have comments from some of our remodel customers about the projects…and, hopefully, you’ll be inspired and see the potential in your home and ‘invite’ us over.
