Financing Your Remodel? Head to City Hall!

Filed Under Contractor's Corner 

We were so suprised when we got the call. A family in South San Francisco wanted us to design and install a new bathroom, then told us their budget. We met, showed them a few of our Bath Pack designs, they chose one, selected finish colors, and off we went.  We sent the estimate the next day, and they submitted it to the City. Within days, their loan was approved, and after a brief trip to the Building Department, we had the Permit (and the city pays for that too!)

How easy is that? Well, the Federal Government has made loans available to people based on (1) the size of the family; and (2) the gross income of the family. Finally, middle to lower income people will be able to get a low interest loan to fix up their homes! In the middle of this financial crisis hitting the entire world, we have work! People are able to get new, safe, clean, custom kitchens and baths, kitchens, laundry room remdels, all financed through a loan from their own home town. Click here for more info.
