Has remodeling an old Lexington home ever been a dream of yours? Make sure you take a long look at the "bones" of a property prior to buying that diamond in the rough.
It is not difficult to repair a couple of shingles. Fixing the whole structure of the roof is a different, and more costly, story. Fixing a leaking basement is a relatively easy job. Installing a new foundation is going to be a huge project. Replacing pipes, wiring, and toxic building materials should also be factored in.
Only move ahead if you have carefully examined the entire structure and truly feel that your pocketbook, and more importantly, your sanity, is ready for the project.
