How to Get the Best Out Of a Home Renovation Project
A home renovation can be a daunting task. It is also an exciting project that brings with it the possibility of adding more space within the home and better utilizing existing space. There are a few steps that homeowners can take in order to guarantee that their renovation runs smoothly.
First and foremost, homeowners should know their budget and stay within it. Some homeowners mistakenly enter into a complicated renovation project thinking that if they spend money on projects or items that they cannot afford, the money will just appear to cover the expenses. The reality is that this is not the case. For this reason, it is good for homeowners to do their homework before starting their renovation. They may want to speak to friends and family members who have done similar jobs and ask them how much they paid for certain items. It is also a good idea to talk to a trusted contractor who has experience doing home renovations since they will be able to walk the homeowner through the different expenses that they might incur. If a homeowner is considering doing a rough in project tomorrow, it is important that they first get quotes today.
Once a homeowner makes a budget, it is a good idea for them to tack on an additional 15 to 20 percent for unexpected expenses that will arise. It is recommended that if at all possible a homeowner should save up money to spend on their renovation as opposed to borrowing. Renovation projects are a lot more satisfying if they are paid for in advance.
Next, homeowners should have a realistic view of what they are going to have once the renovation is complete. It is nice to dream about the ideal living room, master bedroom, or kitchen space. However, when it comes time to actually begin the project, homeowners should have a realistic plan in place that takes into consideration their budget, the resources they have at their disposal, and their existing home.
Part of being realistic means understanding that at times renovation projects may need to be done in stages. Instead of completely renovating the kitchen and then installing a marble bathroom, homeowners may need to tackle one project at a time.
Finally, when it comes to renovations, a homeowner should realize that it is the details that can make or break a renovation. Failure to schedule different aspects of the renovation in advance may delay the project by weeks or months. For example, it does very little good to order beautiful bathroom faucets if the rough in for the plumbing has not been done. Proper planning and scheduling will go a long way in guaranteeing that a renovation goes smoothly.
