				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h6>Navigating the Rising Costs of Home Remodeling</h6>
<p>In today&#8217;s rising remodeling Costs 2024 edition, homeowners are feeling the pinch of rising remodeling costs. A combination of inflationary pressure, cost of living and demand for materials has launched average budgeting for residential home improvement to nearly double in the past 10 years.</p>
<p>At Tenhulzen Residential, we understand the challenges these market conditions present, and spend much of our time educating our customers on this ever changing dynamic to guide the decision making process.</p></div>
			</div>
			</div>
				
				
				
				
			</div><div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_1">
				<div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_1  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h6>The Factors Behind Rising Costs</h6>
<p>The cost of a given project <a href="https://www.thisoldhouse.com/home-finances/reviews/home-renovation-cost">continues to increase</a> over time. We regularly receive inquiries from homeowners who may have contacted us several years ago, only to find out the exact same project is no longer the same budget cost.  In fact, in many cases the scope of work is still financially out of reach.</p>
<p>International trade has a significant impact on home improvement commodities, with prices for copper, steel, plastics, glass, and minerals all on the rise. Lumber mills are struggling to keep up with demand, leading to rationing and order backlogs. As prices rise, so do living costs, resulting in increased labor expenses. Even paint prices have risen to support recycling initiatives.</p>
<p>Lead times for materials like tempered glass are extending due to high demand for commercial buildings, while scheduling concrete has become increasingly challenging. Electricians are considering alternatives like aluminum wiring to offset copper costs. Roofing companies face shortages of fasteners from China, and imported tiles are delayed at U.S. ports due to customs backlogs. Additionally, manufacturers are operating at reduced capacity due to social distancing requirements in factories.</p>
<p><strong>Move vs. Remodel</strong></p>
<p>Tenhulzen Remodeling has been employing the same mark-up on materials, trade contractors and labor for 30+ years.  It&#8217;s not that we&#8217;re more expensive, rather the global market drives the cost. Experts recommend adding 15% to the total cost of similar projects from previous years. For instance, that $80,000 bathroom remodel last year would now be $92,000.   Which makes for quite a shock if you&#8217;ve been saving up for that project budgeted for 5+ years ago.</p>
<p>Moving costs could be equivalent to the improving the home you are currently in.  Especially when accounting for closing costs, moving, decorating and furnishing.  A recent customer decided to stop the design of their $180,000 basement remodel to pursue another house.  Six months after moving in, they reported uprooting their family for $120,000 of hard costs for a similar home, with a longer commute, different school district, and a significantly higher mortgage rate.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h6>Case Study</h6>
<p>Analyzing the previous example provides insight into a seldom reported statistic:  Remodeling is not for everyone.  From our perspective, 30-40% of homeowners would rather move than remodel, regardless of cost.</p>
<p>For those who brave the noise and dust, the reward is an inherently increased value averaging 75% of the cost.  That is to say, a $100,000 project adds $75,000 of resale value (or more), depending on the project.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h6>Making Informed Decisions</h6>
<p>Cost is not the only factor.  Consideration must also be given to 6 other factors: Quality, Safety, Security, Timeliness, Cleanliness and Communication.</p>
<p>Interestingly, when we ask prospective customers how they would rank these in order of importance, it is typically:</p>
<p>Cost  |  Timeliness  |  Quality  |  Security  |  Communication  |  Safety</p>
<p>After the project is complete, the same list is presented and inevitably, the ranking is:</p>
<p>Communication  |  Quality  |  Timeliness  |  Security  |  Cost  |  Safety</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing how we are programmed to place a higher value on price before the purchase, and justify it with placing a higher value on other features of the experience.</p>
<p>At Tenhulzen Residential, we believe in empowering homeowners with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions. The rising costs of remodeling 2024 edition is helpful to keep you informed.   Whether you&#8217;re considering a minor update or a major renovation, understanding the investment potential is essential.</p></div>

<p><a href="https://charcuterina.com/charcuterie-plates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charcuterina</a> presented custom-made wood boards and a variety of Italian-inspired meats, cheeses and accoutrements.  A great platform to get creative, Ronda and Traci enjoyed playing with their food last evening.</p>
<p>A dozen or so interior designers and fulfillment specialists created their very own boards. The winning prize received a hand carved wooden spoon from Italy.</p>
<p>Despite their aesthetic efforts, whatever Ronda and Traci missed on presentation, they certainly make up for on taste. Especially when paired with a chilled Chardonnay (as a late afternoon office snack).</div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>In a world where accessibility and inclusivity are paramount, community service initiatives play a crucial role in transforming lives. One such annual project that embraces the spirit of giving back is &#8220;Rampathon&#8221;. This event is sponsored by the esteemed <a href="https://www.mbaks.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties.</a>   They created a remarkable initiative bringing together volunteers from all over the Puget Sound.  Our crew at <a href="https://tenhulzen.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tenhulzen Residential Design Build Remodeling</a> generously volunteers their time to construct ramps for families in need. This Mother&#8217;s Day weekend, we had the privilege of installing a ramp for a recipient who shared her remarkable journey and the transformative impact this ramp would have on her life.</p>
<p>&#8220;So tell me, what happened? When was the last time you were able to get out of the house?&#8221; asked <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracitenhulzen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Traci Tenhulzen</a>.   “About two and a half years ago. Well, I didn&#8217;t go out except to go to the doctor.” Replied Judith.</p>
<p><strong>Accessing the Outdoors: A Life Bound by Limitations</strong></p>
<p>Imagine being confined to your home for years, with limited opportunities to step foot outside. Judith, the brave recipient of this year&#8217;s Rampathon, has been facing this very challenge. She recounted how her dear friends in the community would lend their strength and help her navigate the daunting aggregate steps.  They would transfer her into a wheelchair whenever she needed to visit the doctor. Though their support was invaluable, it was not without its risks, as a few mishaps necessitated the assistance of emergency services. Judith&#8217;s resilience in the face of adversity is truly inspiring.</p>
<p><strong>A Life of Activity:  Limited by Health</strong></p>
<p>Judith, a former school principal, reflected on her past life filled with boundless energy. She effortlessly moved from her office to a bus, portable classroom, or gym, ever ready to tackle any issue that arose. However, her vitality was curtailed due to the effects of diabetes and arthritis, conditions that significantly impacted her mobility. Nevertheless, she remains grateful for the abundant resources available in the Seattle area, helping individuals like her regain their freedom and independence.</p></div>

The suggestion to explore the Rampathon initiative sparked hope, and they mustered the courage to submit an application. Much to their surprise, the call from Tenhulzen Residential arrived, marking the beginning of a life-changing journey.</p>
<p><strong>An Exciting Transformation</strong></p>
<p>The enthusiasm surrounding the construction of the ramp is palpable. The freedom to explore her beautiful yard and indulge her love for the outdoors once again will be a priceless gift. For someone who spent 45 years living on a farm and relishing the abundance of nature, this ramp represents more than just a physical structure; it embodies the restoration of her zest for life.</p>
<p>Tenhulzen Residential’s involvement in the annual Rampathon, sponsored by the Master Builders Association, epitomizes the power of community service. Their dedication to transforming lives and creating accessible pathways serves as a shining example of how a community can come together to make a profound difference in the lives of those facing mobility challenges. The completed ramp will not only grant Judith access to the outside world but also symbolize the solidarity and compassion that binds us as a society. Through initiatives like these, individuals like Judith can regain their independence, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment within their communities. Together, we can continue to build bridges, both metaphorical and physical, for those who need them the most.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Since moving to Redmond in 1979 from a farm in southwest Iowa, the Tenhulzens have witnessed a lot of changes in the growth and character of the Sammamish Valley.</p>
<p>One of the changes is what&#8217;s happening to the iconic &#8220;Pink Tractor&#8221; property formerly owned and operated by John Gunderson of Jack&#8217;s Tractors.   For a few years, the property became a point of contention in the thrust of the adult beverage ordinance.  With the 2019 acquisition of the property, <em><strong>Tenhulzen Reserve</strong></em> is to re-vitalize the property to a modern day version of a turn-of-the-century colonial farmhouse.</p>
<p>&#8220;We call this place home,&#8221; says <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracitenhulzen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Traci Tenhulzen</a> who grew up in a military family, &#8220;it&#8217;s everything we need and more.&#8221;  Living within the <a href="https://www.ci.woodinville.wa.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">City of Woodinville</a> limits since 2003 has bonded the family to this community.  Involvement in service clubs, youth sports, the <a href="https://woodinvillechamber.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chamber of Commerce</a> and more has rooted deep connections with other leaders in this community.</p>
<p>Jack and Pat Tenhulzen started Tenhulzen Remodeling in 1979 from their Redmond home.  Over the decades, the family business has improved thousands of homes from Issaquah to Snohomish and Mercer Island to Duvall. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tenhulzen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Tenhulzen</a> shares that, &#8220;These days, a large percentage of customers are centered around Woodinville, so it makes sense for our offices to be there too.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tenhulzen Reserve will be home to the business as well as extended family.  Designed, permitted and project managed by Michael Tenhulzen, the new space will reflect the quality and creativity of his experience in residential improvements.  &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to showcase all the installed product throughout the 5,000 square foot space with 5 suites, 4 rooftop decks and wrap around porch.&#8221;</p>

<p class="my-0.5">March is an important month for many reasons. It marks the start of spring and is a time to observe Women’s History Month and recognize the accomplishments of women in history. It is also the time when Women in Construction Week (March 5-11) takes place. This week serves as an important reminder of the contributions that women have made in the Building industry since its inception.</p>
<p class="my-0.5">One woman who was recently honored by BIAW (Building Industry Association of Washington) was <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracitenhulzen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Traci Tenhulzen</a>, one of three people featured in <a href="https://issuu.com/biaofwa/docs/march_bi_2023_issuu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Building Insight Magazine’s March edition</a>. She is the seventh female president in <a href="https://www.mbaks.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MBAKS&#8217;s</a> 114-year history and has been an active member for 25 years, including 3 on its board.</p>
<p class="my-0.5">“I appreciate the unique position that I am in being a female in a male-dominated industry,” Tenhulzen said.</p>
<p class="my-0.5">Tenhulzen began her career in 2001 with an audit, training and safety company which led to a network of commercial contractors, homebuilders and heavy equipment operators before eventually selling her company and partnering with her husband <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tenhulzen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Tenhulzen</a> in his family business, <a href="https://tenhulzen.com/about-us_meet-the-tenhulzens/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tenhulzen Residential Design Build Remodeling</a> in 2012.</p>
<p class="my-0.5">Tenhulzen attributes much of her success to preparing every day for each job she takes on, asking questions, doing research or drawing from her years working in sales or customer service experience. For 2023 leadership year she has chosen <strong>“Root Connection – Together We Are Stronger”</strong> as her theme.</p>

<p>Over 20 students ages 20-34 gave a standing ovation to Traci&#8217;s 30-minute verbal presentation on leadership.</p>
<p>Drawing on her years of experience in student council, team sports, and business ownership, Traci spoke to the importance of interpersonal relationships. To her, leadership is about empowering others &#8211; not telling them what to do.  By giving her own employees the tools to perform to their potential, Traci provided practical and useful content to this class of students.</div>

<p>Introduced as the 2nd VP (she will be President of the Master Builders Association of King &amp; Snohomish Counties in 2023) Traci answered questions about leadership in the building industry and offered experiential stories.</p>
<p>Traci began her career as owner of a construction site safety consultant company. Her experience was predominately advising and training construction crews how to avoid costly safety violations. The art of getting a group of men to listen to a petite woman may have come from her experience as coxswain for the men&#8217;s varsity crew team at <a href="https://wsu.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WSU</a>.</p>
<p>In 2007 when her son was born, Traci made the decision to became a full-time mom. However, in 2009, she took over as Production Manager at Tenhulzen Residential to guide her family business into success. On the job training out of necessity made for a win-win situation. Traci&#8217;s best quality is her ability to sell her own company, and now that she had experience behind the curtain at Tenhulzen Residential, she was more knowledgeable about what she would ultimately be selling.</p>
<p>The panelists were all well received, making the PWB Conference a huge success.</p>
<h3>Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties</h3>

<p>Why build our own cabinets?  Timeliness and quality control are the primary reasons.  But we can also provide our customers more options with type of box construction, custom details and wood species for less cost than the large manufacturers.</p>
<p>How do we keep the shop busy?  Tenhulzen is not the shop&#8217;s only customer.  Dozens of direct customers get their product designed, produced and delivered every year, plus several local builders appreciate the accountability and service for their projects.</div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">The production schedule for any remodeling project requiring cabinets relies heavily on the timing, accuracy and quality of the supplier. This is because once cabinets are set, the countertop template can be done. If templating is delayed, the entire schedule can be jeopardized.</p>
<p>In some cases, we have been able to shorten the production schedule by several weeks by installing cabinetry before flooring. Now that we control the build and install processes, we can not only save on cost and timelines, but provide better quality compared to other local manufacturers.</div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><strong>Cabinetree Works</strong> has been the source for most of our cabinets recently due to the high quality and short lead times. Each component can be customized in any direction to maximize storage and aesthetics. In some cases, undercabinet lighting and in-drawer outlets have been installed at the cabinet shop for superior fit &amp; finish.</p>
<p>Cabinetree Works Supports Ethical Responsibility.  Whether solid wood, plywood or composite, we believe it is our responsibility to give back to the source of our business. That is why we choose to partner with local, state and national tree planting organizations.</p></div>
