From Your Local Remodeling Experts at Cover 3 Builders
We know that deciding to remodel your home is a big step. Whether you’re updating a bathroom, transforming your kitchen, or finally building that addition you’ve been dreaming about, your home is more than just a place—it’s where your family lives, gathers, and grows. That’s why we believe every remodeling project deserves professional care, honest communication, and dependable results.
As a trusted remodeling company serving homeowners across Georgia and South Carolina, we want to share the top 5 things you should know before starting your home remodel. These tips come straight from our experience helping families in Augusta, Columbia, Aiken, North Augusta, and beyond create homes they truly love.
1. Define What You Want Out of Your Remodel
Every great remodeling project starts with a clear vision. Before we get to work, we always encourage homeowners to think through a few key questions:
- What problem are you trying to solve? Is it outdated design, lack of space, or inefficient layouts?
- Which spaces matter most? Kitchens and bathrooms add the most value, but outdoor living spaces and additions can transform how you enjoy your home.
- What’s your lifestyle need? Maybe you want an open kitchen for entertaining, a spa-like bathroom retreat, or a home office that finally works for your family.
When we meet with local homeowners, we listen carefully to your goals and help you prioritize them. That way, you’ll know where to start and how to maximize your investment.
2. Budget Realistically—and Plan for the Unexpected
We understand that budget is often the first question on every homeowner’s mind. The truth is, every remodel is unique, but there are some common guidelines:
- Kitchen remodels in Georgia and South Carolina can range from $25,000–$50,000 depending on size and finishes.
- Bathroom remodels often run $10,000–$25,000.
- Additions vary widely, but always factor in permits, labor, and materials.
At Cover 3 Builders, we believe in transparency. We provide straightforward estimates, walk you through options that fit your budget, and help you plan for unexpected surprises like hidden water damage or outdated wiring. We also recommend setting aside an extra 10–20% of your budget as a safety net—because a remodel should bring excitement, not stress.
3. Choose the Right Remodeling Partner
Your remodel is only as good as the team you trust to bring it to life. That’s why choosing the right remodeling company is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.

4. Expect Timelines and Some Disruption
We like to be upfront with our homeowners—remodeling takes time and may cause temporary inconveniences. But we’ll always keep you informed and work efficiently to minimize disruptions.
Here’s a general idea of what to expect:
- Kitchen remodels: 4–8 weeks
- Bathroom remodels: 2–4 weeks

5. Think Long-Term, Not Just Today
A remodel should not only make your home more beautiful and functional right now—it should also add long-term value. That’s why we guide homeowners to make smart choices that stand the test of time.
- Resale Value: Kitchens and bathrooms bring the strongest return on investment.
- Durability: We recommend materials that handle Southern humidity and family life.
- Energy Efficiency: Updating windows, insulation, and HVAC during a remodel can save you money for years.
- Timeless Design: We help you blend current trends with classic design so your remodel looks great today and tomorrow.
At Cover 3 Builders, our focus is on creating spaces you’ll love living in—spaces that feel like home for years to come.
Local Considerations for Georgia & South Carolina Homeowners
Living in the South brings unique opportunities and challenges when it comes to remodeling.
- Hot, humid summers mean we often recommend engineered wood or luxury vinyl plank flooring to prevent warping.
- Outdoor living spaces are extremely popular in this region, from screened-in porches to custom decks designed for entertaining.
- Energy efficiency upgrades are essential in Georgia and South Carolina, where cooling costs can climb during the summer.
Because we live and work in these communities, we understand what works best in this climate—and we bring that expertise to every project.
