To Buy & Renovate..

The time has come and you are ready to buy a home. Could be your first home or it could be your third, but each time is still a challenge. Buying a home involves finding the perfect space and layout that best suits you. To find a move-in ready home that perfectly suits your needs and standards is very hard to come by and in the miracle that you do find this, you will sure pay for it!

This prompts many people to factor the option of buying and renovating into their decision-making when searching for homes on the market. Buying and renovating opens many doors and can fulfill so many wants and desires that buying a move-in ready cannot fulfill.

The buying and renovating option; however, does come with it’s list of commands. For one, you will need a well-experienced real estate broker to find those homes on the market that fall within your budget with taking a renovation into account. Along with a broker, you will need a designer. The designer will be able to see passed what exists and will be able to determine if the skeleton of the home has potential for what you are looking for in your new home.

Once you have purchased your new home, you will now begin your renovation process. Your next team will consist of your designer and an architect. Plans will be drawn up. Now, all your wants and custom ideas are on paper and you begin to have this wonderful vision on what your life will be like in your new home.

The last and final link on your buying and renovating chain is hiring a team who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them. This team is your General Contractor. Our team at Capital Craftsmen have performed renovations in some of the most high-end buildings in Manhattan and have also built custom homes from the ground up in the Hamptons and Montauk. We are the team that will turn your designer’s renderings and architect’s 2-dimensional drawings into your new reality.

Enjoy a first-hand look at the Before & After pictures below of one of our most prestigious renovations to date at 1105 Park Avenue.

State-of-the-art, luxury appliances have reached the next level.

DACOR is known for many industry first’s including the  30″ Self-Cleaning Pure Convection Wall Oven. DACOR’s 9th generation of 30″ built-in wall oven, Discovery IQ, connects the kitchen to the home via a new industry exclusive – the Discovery IQ Controller which features Wi-Fi connectivity. With the built-in Discovery IQ Controller home chefs can access the DACOR Discovery IQ Cooking Application and Guide while simultaneously downloading applications through the App Store, researching new recipes or viewing cooking video demonstrations wirelessly through a home Wi-Fi network and can be accessed remotely by tablet or smart phone. How does it work? What is it’s main purpose? – The IQ eliminates guesswork with preparing popular dishes and/or family recipes by way of a pre-programmed guide. With the touch of a finger, simply select the desired recipe from the display menu, insert the prepared dish, initiate the program and sit-back and relax as the oven takes care of the rest. Once the desired cook time has been reached for the given dish, the oven will then pleace the dish on warming mode to keep the food warm until ready to serve.

By combining oven technology with the insight of the IQ Controller and cooking application, DACOR is empowering the novice cook to perform at expert levels with the simple swipe of a finger. With control features such as Guided Cooking, Quick Start Guide, Recipa Box and Slow Cook Mode, home chefs are almost guaranteed to cook all their favorite dishes to perfection.
