However, let us be frank; your selection of the right contractor could be the difference between a dream come true and a living nightmare.

With decades of experience and over 1,500 projects completed, we’ve mastered the industry with a professional process that gives you peace of mind from start to finish. Enough about us, though. Let’s tackle the question at hand: Is a complete home remodel worth the investment?
Why a Complete Remodel?
We fully understand your hesitation to embark on a full-scale remodel. However, when done right, a complete remodel does more than just give your home an updated look—it can solve design inefficiencies, boost its value, and even increase energy-efficiency. A well-executed renovation is a future-proof investment that pays dividends in quality of life and potential resale value.
1. Boosts Property Value
An appealing remodel will boost your property value and ward off depreciation caused by outdated fixtures, designs, and layouts. In many ways, periodic renovations are necessary to retain market value and over time. Especially with the influx of new residents transplanting into the Sacramento region from the San Francisco Bay Area, our neighborhoods are experiencing a significant rise in home prices and desirability. In such a competitive market, it’s important to keep pace and optimize value returns with investments like renovations. In fact, Today’s Homeowner reported that home remodels recoup an average return on investment (ROI) of 69%, and could even reach 100% or higher depending on the specific project.
If you’re considering selling in the next few years, a complete renovation will go a long way in attracting buyers and boosting your price potential.
2. Comfort and Function
The functionality of a home is often overlooked or something that you grow accustomed to. It’s not until you experience a highly-functional space that you realize how much it can improve your day-to-day life. Practical kitchen layouts and expanded bathroom spaces have worked wonders in the comfort and psyche of countless homeowners. Opting for a complete home remodel allows you to shape your home around your specific needs and lifestyle. If you have a growing family, the benefit of this becomes all the more apparent as your children multiply and age, creating more needs to be shared within a single space.
We can help you enhance the functionality of your home with custom solutions and countless case studies with tested ideas that can provide your family with a comfortable and effective home.
3. Saves on Energy
With hot summers and chilly winters, energy efficiency is a big factor for many homeowners in the Sacramento area. Outdated systems and poor insulation can drive up your energy costs without you even realizing potential savings. A complete remodel can give you the opportunity to install energy-efficient solutions, including high-performance windows, insulation, and HVAC systems.
But don’t take our word for it: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners can save up to 30% on their energy bills by making these energy-efficient improvements.
4. Personalization
Easily the most exciting aspect of a complete home remodel is the chance to personalize your space. Depending on your situation, you may have not had the chance to make your home your own yet. We all know that a home is a deep reflection of those who live in it, and a remodel allows you to express who you are in the best ways. You can opt for the modern, minimalist design that'll set you apart, or transform your home into a cozy, traditional haven for your family. The possibilities are nearly endless!
It only makes sense to invest into the place you spend the majority of your time. At HEX, we can help you select the right materials, layout, and finishes to ensure that every element of your home reflects your personal taste and lifestyle. We even offer in-house interior design services to help you brainstorm and troubleshoot ideas into a beautiful and functional reality.
6. Modern Technology

A full renovation will allow you to incorporate modern technology across your entire home, from smart thermostats that regulate energy use to advanced security systems for your protection. Other features like smart lighting, automated blinds, and updated home entertainment systems will offer added convenience and luxury for your family.
