Renovating your home can be daunting, and it can be hard to know where to start. There are a few simple steps that you can take before and during the remodeling process that will guide you and make the process easier for you.
Step 1: Make a Remodeling Plan
The first step in your process is going to be deciding what kind of renovations and changes you want for your home. You will prioritize which renovations you value most and eliminate those less important. It can also include providing design inspiration for the contractors you’ll work with to show them exactly what you’d like. You may also want to start researching permits in your local area to ensure you’ll get them in enough time to complete your projects and meet local requirements.
Step 2: Set Your Budget
Another big aspect you’ll need to consider before getting started is your budget for renovations. You can get estimates from various contractors to see which can get you the best quality work at the most affordable price. Setting your budget may also require you to go back and make some changes to your remodel plan if they do not fit within your budget.
Step 3: Hire Contractors
To get everything you want out of your remodeling process, you’ll want to hire qualified contractors who can get the job done. Get recommendations from those close to you who have had similar projects done or look at reviews from people online. When looking at contractors, you’ll want to look at years of experience, past projects they’ve done, references, and licenses they have.
Step 4: Build Your Timeline
Once you’ve chosen your team of contractors to work with, you’ll want to start making your timeline for when you want projects to be completed. If there is a specific occasion you’re remodeling for, you’ll want to plan to ensure it can be completed by then. Creating a timeline that everyone can access will allow everyone to be on the same page to complete everything in time.
Step 5: Plan for Demolition, Renovation, and Cleanup
Sometimes you can run into problems during the renovation process, leading to delays. For example, encountering cracks in the foundation, water damage, or electrical issues can lead to large delays in your remodeling process, so it may be a good idea to plan if these problems occur. You can also prepare differently for renovations depending on what you’re renovating. Some may require you to move out of your home for a while, while others may disrupt your life for a day or two. Cleanup is another factor that may get overlooked. You’ll want to factor debris removal into your budget and think ahead to make these arrangements.
