ORANGE COUNTY DREAM KITCHENS
Sea Pointe Construction had the great honor of having remodeled not one, but three of ORANGE COAST MAGAZINE’S “Orange County Dream Kitchens”.
"It is the heart of the home. Whether it's a dinner party or a typical night of the week, the kitchen is where you'll usually find friends and families gathering to eat, socialize, or just hang out. And when they look as good as the 10 we've discovered, it's easy to see why.”

Orange Coast Magazine

"The Zen spirit infuses this Laguna Beach kitchen, which features custom stained concrete countertops layered with color and buffed to a beautiful sheen.  Stainless steel appliances, rollout trays, and an under-counter island microwave oven make this kitchen dramatic and convenient to use.”  Designed by Sea Pointe Construction.

"An island covered by Black Galaxy granite offers practical and dramatic appeal to this San Clemente kitchen.  With the storage and counter space afforded by the island, the room is an entertainer's dream.”  Designed by Sea Pointe Construction

"This Coto de Caza kitchen is the perfect family hub with a built-in coffee center and homework desk.  A custom full-width copper hood reflects light and brightens the room.”  Designed by Sea Pointe Construction

INVESTMENT RETURNS
Remodeling can have a direct effect on your home’s value

By LEN JAY
General Manager Sea Pointe Construction

We all know that investments can be risky.  The stock market can be very good one day and very bad the next!  The changes that can happen over night to your investments are as changeable as the weather.  So many things determine whether you will make money or lose it.  The market can be affected by so many outside conditions; it is very difficult to insure your investment is going to make money.  If you invest very conservatively, your return will be just as conservative.  If you “risk” your money investing in high yield returns, you also “risk” losing your money.   

For years the banking industry has been investing in both the stock market and the American home market.  A new mortgage, refinance, Home improvement loan or line of credit, are easier to qualify for when the collateral is your home.  When you are investing in your own home, by remodeling key elements, you can also increase its value as a long term investment with little risk.  Remodeling your home can have a direct effect on its value in today's real estate market.  Naturally, we all want to make money on our investments, as well as enjoy financial appreciation of our property.  There have been many millionaires made by buying, improving and selling houses.  You can even purchase courses on television to teach you how to buy and sell without any money?  The point is, “investing in your home can make the value of the house go up when its time to sell!  Meanwhile you get to live in a home with the style, features and design you desire, while giving any future owner's a reason to purchasing your house over another.  The nicer the house, the better the price!
