How do I plan a home remodel?
First of all – congratulations! – you’ve come to the right place. Remodeling a home can be daunting for many homeowners, and there are several things you need to consider before making any concrete decisions. This guide will outline a handful of these considerations, as well as how we can help!
What do I need to do first?
The first thing to consider is this: what are you trying to achieve with your remodel? Much like building a house, the key is all in the foundations. We like to start by familiarizing ourselves with your home’s blueprints so we can really get a feel for the space. By doing so, we’re able to prioritize work on a room-to-room basis and set a realistic budget before hitting the drawing board.
How can I stay organized?
Renovating a home is a complex project with lots of moving pieces, so preparation and organization are key. Schedules can last anywhere from six to twelve months, and certain rooms may be out-of-use over the duration.
A home renovator can streamline this entire process, as they have the know-how to outline a pathway all the way from dump to dream home. A professional will also be able to make sure you have all the correct building permits, so your plans don’t accidentally breach any regulations.
How do I budget for my project?
Financing your project should start around three to six months before the build begins. This understandably depends on whether you have the approximate costs laid out beforehand and will be subject to adjustments down the line. As a result, it’s a good idea to decide how much you want to spend and then set aside some emergency funds for unexpected costs.
Contractors will be able to give you the best estimate on cost and timescale. They’ll also have a detailed understanding of all the different materials that will be used, helping you to make cost-saving decisions and ruling out unfeasible renovations.
When should I hire a contractor?
The general consensus says it’s best to hire a contractor around two to three months before any remodeling begins. Struggling with budgeting? Browse hundreds of contractors – considering their experience, licensing and availability – to find one that works for you!
Finding the right contractor is like finding a partner – why not arrange a consultation to discuss your project in more detail? That way, you can pick apart the logistics and make sure you’re a good match before making any investments.
