While it might seem like a "no-brainer," when you run the numbers it is typically cheaper to build an addition than to buy a new home that equals the space of your existing house plus an addition. At the very least, the closing and realtor costs involved with selling your old house and buying the new house would push this option over the top.  At Tabor Design Build we can offer you a feasibility study with preliminary designs and cost estimates for your home addition.  Call the Tabor Team to discuss a feasibility study for your home today.

As a military brat I feel I really understand the true spirit of this day. As a kid we often took part in the celebrations offered at the military bases where we were stationed. But more importantly, whether at home or abroad, we as a family honored those men and women, and their families, who sacrificed to protect the freedoms of the United States of America. Thank you to all who have served, especially my Dad, Grandpa and brother Don.  I salute you.

Having worked in this industry for more than 25 years I can say that John Tabor's unique approach to Design Build benefits the Homeowner in so many ways.  The three that stand out the most to me are 1) The Trade Day 2)Scheduling and 3)Lack of Change Orders.
It was the idea of "Trade Day" that first WOW'd me.  Everyone meeting at the job site to review the plans and the existing home.  The collective experience of this construction team works to determine the most cost effective and time efficient way to perform the remodeling.  With the team's recommendations, John is able to pin-point the daily progress the team will make during construction for an accurate timeline, even allowing for weather conditions.  With all of this organization and planning, the projects are completed in a shorter period of time and any change orders are usually add-ons by the Homeowner, such as "let's paint this room too!"  Working with John Tabor has enriched my experience and has contributed to the happiness of many Montgomery County families.
My favorite example of this is the Harris family from Silver Spring.  Last year we designed and built the addition of their dreams.  This family was able to stay in their home during construction and we completed the project on time and on budget.  The Harris family loves their new spaces!

All to often a screened on porch looks like a deck with a roof on it.  Because that is what it is.

However, with careful planning, craftsman carpenters and quality materials, your porch can add to the beauty of your home.

Spring is here again.  What a wonderful time of year.  All the beautifully colored blossoms are out.  This is my favorite time of year.  

It's the perfect time to start enjoying the outdoors with a new deck or screened porch.  We'd would love to help you make the most out of this season.  Contact us to start planning your next outdoor project.
