On this post, we discussed how drones photography can be helpful in the roofing industry. But drones are also very helpful with real estate! With drone photography and video, realtors and potential buyers are able to see a panoramic view of the outside of the home.
Regular photos taken from the ground level do not always give the best depiction of the area.
The following is a quote from trusted DBP remodeler, John Hogan of Blue Nail Exteriors.
I like drones because they are safe, efficient, and fun to use! Homeowners should not allow anyone on their roof without a contract in place and their certificate of insurance. Without a contract, they are responsible for any injuries that may occur to the estimator while on the roof.
For your next project, consider the use of drones for photography and video for roof inspections.

Would YOU consider a truly unique entry door for your home?
We all know the importance of making a great first impression. Project designers and realtors talk about curb appeal. It often starts with a wonderful entry door. While there are hundreds of stain or paint finishes available as well as many decorative glass options and hardware selections, most door styles are standard. All manufacturers work with stock “door blanks” then finishes and glass are the options.
If you had the space…and money, would your family enjoy a basement bowling alley?
A regulation lane with equipment requires approx. 88′ in length. A nice seating area will need another 12′ or so. The cost will vary depending on whether the equipment is new or used as well as the selections of decorative features and lighting. A per lane cost might be as low as $25K and can exceed $50K. A mini bowling lane can be half the length or less.
In 1947 President Truman had the first bowling alley installed in the White House.

Media Rooms are a popular request by homeowners.
Media rooms are more focused on serious TV/movie viewing than a family room, but they are not quite a fully closed theater room. The biggest choice is seating as far as theater seats or couches/sectionals. With either, a rear pub height table is desirable for added seating in a small space. It also offers a place to dine while keeping the new, expensive seats clean. Read about some more seating options below.
How to choose the best counter depth refrigerator?
This question was asked to Jason Parsons, DBP’s Chief Designer, by an online magazine. Here is his answer:
Because of their size and frequency of use, refrigerators are generally a focal point in the kitchen. If you have decided on a counter depth unit, there are several factors to consider when choosing the best model for you. First, most people do not realize that only the body of the refrigerator is counter depth. Doors and handles extend beyond the counter. In addition, the hinges are designed to have the doors open outside of the refrigerator width. You need to ensure that there is enough clearance to open the doors a minimum of 90° from the refrigerator not only to access your food, but to remove all drawers for regular cleaning. This will require anywhere from 3” – 6” on each side of the unit. Be sure to choose one that will work with the space that you have.
