Planning a Renovation? Here’s The #1 Question We Answer

You’re finally going to do it! You’re excited about your renovation project, but you know that your house will be topsy turvy for a bit. The question we answer most often is, “During construction, should I plan on living in my house or moving out until it’s done?”

Watch our video to find out how other clients have managed this question and their unique situations. Spoiler Alert: it involves a gym membership and a goose!

Are Design TV Shows Close to Reality?

Are Design TV Shows Close to Reality?

Everyone has their favorite design TV shows. It’s fun to watch the grand make-overs. While the clients seem to get a dramatic improvement on their living environment, not everything is what it seems.

We love how these shows inspire you to what’s possible, but we worry that you are being led astray by misinformation. So, here are some Design TV “Myths” that we are going to dramatically reveal for you now! Let’s pull back that curtain!

We dont make you move out while renovating

Do You Stay Or Do You Go?

On TV Shows

In Reality

The family must move out of their home because the final design is a dramatic (and tear-filled) reveal. The homeowner has little to no idea what the design will be like, right down to the color of the paint or type of flooring! Will that wall be there when you move back in? Can you imagine how nerve wracking it must be not to be able to live at home or have no idea what it’s going to look like? We don’t make you move out of your home (but sometimes you’ll want to). And you’ll be pleased to know that you won’t stay “in the dark” about what the design will be. We involve you every step of the way. We want to hear about what you like and need and want. We show you our ideas and design before construction begins. We’re very accessible throughout the whole project for any question or concern you may have.

Whose Design Is It?

You get the design YOU choose

On TV Shows

In Reality

The design is THEIR design, their ideas. Which means you get what you get, and it’s usually

a) whatever happens to be in style right now; and

b) a cookie cutter template of the design they do on lots of homes.

Let’s face it, they feature their own style and typically must use their sponsors’ products.

We’ve seen shows where they purposely ignored the requests of the client because it wasn’t the latest style!

Because we work very closely with you during our design consultation, we’ve taken a walk through your home, and we’ve asked a ton of questions, we seek to have a clear understanding of the way your family wants to use the spaces in the house.

The resulting design is a gorgeous mix of your desires and our expertise. Together, we make a unique recipe for the design of your home renovation or construction.

Since we don’t even bake cookies, our projects are not designed with cookie cutters either!

How Long Will The New Features Last?

On TV Shows

In Reality

Every shelf, every cupboard, every door, every window, down to the last candle and picture frame is there for show. Typically some of the features are only temporarily placed in the client’s home. Once the episode is completed, quite a few items are likely removed (and used in other projects) and the clients’ real stuff comes back.

Also, very often the work is done hastily to meet the show’s deadline. Some items must fall apart because the proper procedures weren’t followed. It’s meant for TV, for entertainment. Not forever!

Every shelf, every cupboard, every door, every window is the real deal. Every nail and screw is tightly in place and is meant to stay there for decades to come (or until you want a change).

When we design your new doors or new wall or nook, the construction crew will take as long as they need to ensure the home is safe, and you’re happy, for years to come.

It’s meant for you, your family, your guests, for years and for decades, NOT for show!

We hope those shows INSPIRE you and show you the POSSIBILITIES. But if you want real design customized for you and your family, come to us, and we’ll make it happen for YOU, not a TV audience!

Considering The True Price of Your Project

How much will my project cost?

People who are considering a construction or renovation project naturally ask us, “how much is this project going to cost?”

There are 2 kinds of cost involved in your project – the financial cost and the emotional cost. When contemplating doing any work on the place where you live, you may not realize that there are also plenty of emotional considerations.

And as may be expected, to determine the financial cost, every project is different, so no one price fits all!

Sometimes Our Creativity Is Just For Fun – Part 2

Sometimes Our Creativity Is Just For Fun

You may recall our giving you a sneak peek into our personal creativity when we showcased the building of Hope’s fire pit. We enjoy sharing with you our love of imaginative and fun design, and how we believe that the outside is an important component of your home.

So come outside with us, into that same backyard. This time Hope built a pergola, situated between the fire pit and the pond.

Just for fun Pergola designed by Zimmerman Architects Denville NJ

This pergola is a decorative outdoor structure that adds an artistic piece to the backyard, as well as a sense of enclosure. This unique design features a comfy swing. This pergola was designed by Hope and built by Hope and her husband Lee (and admired by Faith).

Just for fun Pergola designed by Zimmerman Architects Denville NJ

Just for fun Pergola designed by Zimmerman Architects Denville NJWe built this ourselves, carefully detailed and meticulously handcrafted – applying our whimsical design – truly one of a kind. We did not start out with a kit of parts – we actually made everything ourselves.

Hope’s backyard “project” has been going on for quite a while; it’s becoming quite a backyard retreat. Hope wanted this to be a place where you can enjoy peaceful solitude, but also a place for family and friends to gather.

This is what Zimmerman Architects do – we help create a customized environment that speaks to you. Our personal backyard project is a well designed but small retreat. We make your property special to you whether or not you own a huge property. No matter the size, any space can be special if designed just right.

What You See Is What You Get:
The Accuracy of Our Drawings

Zimmerman Architects Denville NJ provide accurate renderings of the project

As Architects, the most important thing to us is that you LOVE your completed project and that it is everything you dreamed it would be.

One of the ways we do this by making sure that you fully understand it, so that when you approve the design, you know what it is you are approving and can really see it in your mind’s eye.

In fact, we had a client who told us incredulously, “I went out in the back yard and looked at the finished addition… It looks exactly like your drawings!” So now we make sure all of our clients know this to be true. Read More→
