Construction Diaries: Sara + Mike – Vol. I
New suburbanites record a “selfie” tour of their 1929 home renovation
First-time homeowners Sara and Mike have big plans for their Tudor in Bronxville, NY. We asked the couple to share a “selfie” tour of their Sweeten project. To tackle the renovation, the couple posted their project on Sweeten, a free service matching renovators with vetted general contractors, and chose a design-build firm.
Here, they tell us how they found their 1929 forever home and how Sweeten gave them the “curation factor” they needed to find the right general contractor. Sweeten brings homeowners an exceptional renovation experience by personally matching trusted general contractors to your project, while offering expert guidance and support—at no cost to you. Renovate to live, Sweeten to thrive!
